Loving Life

     We are loving life these days.  All settled into our spot in the park for the next three months.  Had a busy week training new hosts for the summer and helping the rangers with orientations.  Helped our friend Cathy move herself up to Ecola where Andrew works as she is there for the summer.  Played bingo in Rockaway Saturday and won $60.  Start line dancing back up on 13th.  I am loving my summer schedule as host.  I am in the main Kiosk A2, but my duties are Kiosk, Yurts and Day Jr. Ranger and Evening Programs.  No bathrooms, firewood, or selling of anything.  Chance (grandson ) will be here 11th of June and he will also be helping with the Jr. Ranger Program.  Sierra (oldest granddaughter) who recently married and is having our great grandbaby is doing well.  She is getting big belly.  Matt her husband leaves for Basic training July 14th in North Carolina, then after that he goes to Georgia for his tech school in communications, and Sierra will go then with him as the school is 7 months. So we will be going to Georgia when the baby comes. Below are some pictures of where Andrew works at Ecola State Park which is one of the most visited parks in Oregon.  You will see why, and the drive the 1 mile up the mountain to it is indescribably beautiful.  When a host comes with their rig they have to close the road down, and daily the cars are backed up to enter the park.  Hope this finds all well with all our buddies out there.  We sure miss most of our Meadows family.  We are looking forward to friends coming in August.  Oh in June they have a sand art contest in Cannon Beach where people come from all over to make art

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
