Home Sweet Home

     Well we are back from our Month long excursion.  With the exception of spending time with Kyp and Sierra in CA our trip was very disappointing. Sierra is ready to have that baby boy Hunter! Her shower was a huge success and a lot of fun. She has a storage unit full of stuff for the baby and household to take to Kentucky.  She and Mathew will be going to Fort Campbell Ky. the second week of December, or as soon as she can travel with wee one.  Kyp (the daughter) will drive with her and the baby to Kentucky and help out then fly back. Andrew and I will go to Kentucky after she gets there and she and Mathew are settled in. I am working hard on stepping back and letting the grandma's have their glory. Those who know me understand the difficulty in ME taking a back seat! I must say I am doing very good at it so far (must be my older age now).  Baby Hunter is turned and ready to go for three weeks now, and this past week Sierra was 2 centimeters and 60% effaced. Dr. said she may see her next week if not sooner. It was so great to get to go to doctor with her and to just sit on couch and feel baby Hunter moving around. We are so excited to greet him! Sierra is going to be a great mom, she has become such an adult the last year, and her mind and thoughts have totally gone mommy mode. The car she picked out for her an Mathew is a family type car totally. It has been weird to see this side of her.  Also on the note of growing up, we had Chance all summer, and it had been only a month since we saw him.  He grew at least another foot and is taller than us, and his voice changed.  Both older grandkids grew up over night it seems.

      With our trouble in Vegas, to the cruise to Hawaii for 16 days. I am still very upset about the whole Vegas thing towards us, as there were several people that I wanted to see that I may not have another chance to (Ruthie, Frieda, Matilda, Betty) not to mention others. These gals are older and it was important to me to see them.  I'm still not sure what I am going to do about being treated that way.  My fight part for justice and wrong doing wants to do something, but my older and tired part says I am tired of fighting for what is right.  At any rate it is still a heart sore and brings me to tears when I think about it.  Guess living on a boat for 13 years and spending time in Bahamas and Florida Keys has spoiled us as far as Islands go.  Hawaii Islands were big but seemed very barren and the waters are not nearly as beautiful as Caribbean waters.  The cruise itself was not what we have previously experienced  with others over the years.  the entertainment was horrible and somewhat non existent, there was comedy show variety but the comedians were not that good and used the audience for their show for most part.  As always the food was great!  Activities were okay needed to be more for that many days at sea (4 days going and 4 days back)  At any rate we are glad to be back home again.  The weather has been great since we got home, we are back in routine walking everyday and drinking our nutra bullet drinks.  Working on some health issues trying to get back on track.  Andrew is doing very well and is staying stable.  WE are happy about that.  He goes in next week for his 6 month pulmonary function testing and to meet with his pulmonologist.  He will probably schedule his CT scan then, if Andrew will take it is another question.  He refused the  last one, I think he just doesn't want to know the progression.  I would like to know what is going on and if it is dormant again or progressing.  His attitude is when I die we will know.  I've been trying to convince him to have it done saying that he needs to as he still has a claim pending.  For right now life is good! 
     Below are a few pictures we took in Hawaii, Sierra baby shower,  Chance as he got his first deer this year, and a few I took after we got home of the sunrise in the morning out our porch looking at the river and mountain across from it.  The picture just doesn't capture the sunrise colors and reflection on the water.  We can sit out on porch as it is covered and we have a propane heater to warm us as we have our coffee.

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
