Great News !!!

     We received an offer for settlement on our claim against the VA in Las Vegas for their neglectful treatment last year when Andrew became so sick. We negotiated with them and came to a mutual agreement amount.  Things are starting to look up again and we are getting settled into a new life here on the Oregon Coast.  I am committed to host at the park until August but we are buying a place in a remote park on the river that is somewhat hidden off the road called Nehalem shores.  It is mostly model cabins and a few RV spaces.  Although we did just buy a new trailer we are going to purchase a place there and sell our RV.  Below are a few pictures of the place and the remarkable view on the river.  We want a permanent home and then we can take a few trips in the winter months to break up the cold weather.

     I have been busy with crafting stuff as usual and also going to do a couple evening programs in the park, one on service dogs and another on various kinds of sticks (canes, walking sticks and staffs) kind of a how to and what kind of wood etc....   Chance will be here tomorrow the 11th of June and we are going up to Portland today for the night to get him in am.  He is going to help here in the park also with Jr. Ranger stuff.  I re-start line dancing this week also at the recreation center here so looking forward to that.  I started back up in Stampin Up and will be going to Convention in Salt Lake City in July.  Fun Fun stuff!! 
     Andrew is doing absolutely great, he is feeling better here and able to do more things.  He is loving the ranger position for the summer, but really enjoys his days off to catch some rest.  It is kinda hard work for him sometimes but he is doing it just fine.  Please come visit in Oregon and feel free to look us up.  Happy to put ya up.   Oh here is some recent craft stuff I am doing....

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
