Better Days in Paradise

     We are having a much better week this week than last.  We are rested up, spent the weekend riding the bus and exploring the city of Honolulu. Got some stuff for the apartment and ordered our furniture which will arrive tomorrow. Starting to look up. We are missing two packages we mailed here but post office is tracking them down. Hopefully they will find them. We have been to the VA and the doctors are on the ball here, getting our medical stuff all done and people are very nice.  My doctor called me the next day after my labs came back and went over them with me and I have been scheduled for all the stuff I need as well as Andrew. This part has been great.
     So far we like living in the City and being in the center of things. Its actually pretty quiet, there was some fireworks and loud party stuff on Friday nights. During the week it is quiet. Its a little odd to see Walmart and major stores as skyscrapers. Our car arrives the 16th which will be good. Then we can get to the base and check out things around the Island better. Here are a few pictures around our hood, the canal is half block and we walk dogs there, and beach is two blocks the other direction.  The Zoo is at end of the street above us.
Pictures below are the canal 1/2 block up, Walmart (4 story bldg.) and this weird soft grass that grows up the tree's. Going to the beach today will get more pictures.

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
