"April Shower's Bring May Flower's"

     Lets hope that it does bring May Flowers.  We made the move over here to Fort Stephens on the 31st of March and started our Hosting in the Fort Stephens Historic park, where the Civil War Fort is and the Military Museum/store.  There are two RV sites on the grounds and the Fort is about 1 mile from the main Camp Grounds.  So we and another couple who share working the Museum both reside here.  It is great,  nice and quiet after 4:00 each day, gated and armed community.  If we want to go out we have to open gates going and coming.  We share our enormous yard with a rather large heard of elk, which you find wondering the grounds most days and bedding down around the Fort remains.  We have coyotes and also cougar, so we don't venture off on foot after dark from camp area.  It gets very,  very dark out here.  Working the museum and store is great, we have tours of the grounds, videos we show and of course Junior Ranger stuff for the kids.  Next month the Truck tours start of the Fort, and Andrew will be driving the old  1952 Deuce and a 1/2 Army truck and I will be in back with guest doing tour.  The museum has beautiful grounds with a lovely well kept rose garden.  Currently we have been getting bus loads of school kids for tours.  So this is our GIG till June then we head back to our Ranger Buddies at Nehalem to Host June , July and August. 

     On another note we are blessed once again to have Sierra here with us for a few months three at most as her fiancé is going into the military (Army) and will be gone.  She is expecting first baby so this has been fun shopping with her for a few things she has needed, and experiencing this process with her and Kyp (the daughter).  And we are also greatly blessed to be spending much more time with our youngest two grandchildren, Cadence who will be 10, and Tripton who just turned 6.  We had them over spring break for a few days and had a good time.  It is nice to be here in Oregon again closer to the son and his family.  Below are a few pictures, not real good ones will get more on a sunny day around the Fort and grounds.  These are some of the museum/store.

Closing Out the Year

     We are glad indeed to be at the end of 2015.  not one of our better years for sure.  We just wondered aimlessly this past year making one bad decision after another.  It seems since we had to leave Las Vegas when Andrew became sick we have been lost.  Our life was completely changed in a 6-8 month period very dramatically. It was very overwhelming for us and we had made good friendships and lasting bonds with people there in our community.  That was suppose to be our forever home.  Since leaving Vegas we have been to California, Oregon, Corpus Christie TX, Hawaii, and back to Oregon again. I am almost certain that we are home in Oregon to stay.  We may go for a few months in winter someplace but plan to stay here. We simply don't have the energy or desire to go again. At any rate we hope this next year graces us with stability and helps us to find our perfect spot here on the Oregon Coast to land.  We are looking to buy something here.  We have a couple things we are consideri

Summer Season

     Well we are off to a great summer here on the Oregon Coast! It has been a busy month for us as we moved from Ft. Stevens south to Tillamook county Park.  We have been enjoying the change and the park here, and an opportunity presented itself for us to manage another RV park close by also in Tillamook ( Wilson River RV Park ).  The park came under new ownership and he was given our names as somebody who could be his managers of the park.  We met with him last week and accepted the position.  The park has been neglected for the last year as it was being held by the bank and a property management company was overseeing the park.  Nothing a little elbow grease and few repairs can't fix.  It is a prime location for fishing and hunting as it sits right on the river, and of course there is all the attractions of the coast and Tillamook here as well.  We are excited for the challenge of this new adventure. We will miss our friends at the county park but will be close still to BBQ and

Our Plans are like Jello Sometimes it just doesn't set!

 We had a change of plans, and came to California where we decided to sell the motor home.  We didn't expect it to sell in two days time.  We arrived to San Clemente on the 1st of December and sold motor home on 3rd.  We rented an apartment in the downtown (1 block over from Main Street Del Mar) area close to the beach.  We had a great holiday with some of the family and Shawn was home also.  We are enjoying being close to family and our new great grand baby is absolutely adorable.  She is the happiest baby I've ever seen.  We have gotten all our medical appointments under way and scheduled and it feels good to be in one place settled again.  We're enjoying walking the beach everyday and all the little shops and restaurants.  Don't miss the motor home it was a lot of stress for us and after Drew's stroke was just too much to handle.  We did enjoy our trips through the summer and made good use of it.  So now we are in San Clemente for at least a year we signed a leas
