"Spring Break"

     Well we are just about through the season of spring break here at the Fort Stevens State Park.  Our spring break here lasts about two months since we cover several breaks from different States (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Canada).  We have been very busy and will stay that way till October now.  April brings the Astoria/Warrenton Crab & Seafood Festival on 22-25th.  We had our State wide beach clean up and made a real haul.  Andrew and I worked Sunset Beach in Warrenton and had well over 200 people on our section of beach and at least 2000 or more pounds of debris gathered (See photo below). 
     I brought in the month of April with a bang, when the Yurt cleaning supply golf cart caught fire and burnt to the ground  also taking out a second golf cart with it. It was an exciting afternoon in the park that day (see picture).  It could have been much worse than it was I was blessed that day.  We decided to stay put thru the summer and just be still.  We have had a rough year with health issues, injuries and overall struggles. We don't need to make any rash decisions but rather just wait, be patient and listen to our hearts as to what plans are ahead for us.  We have faith and trust that all will become clear if we just wait and be still.  We are just now getting our medical stuff straight, and I am just getting over injury.  We have been mobile for so long that it is hard to stay put.
     We are planning to make this area our home for health reasons, but the winters are a little wet for us and we would like to be able to go for a few months to warmer next year. It hard for Andrew to drive in the car on freeway as the car exhaust bothers him greatly as does going in to the city area like Portland or Seattle.  Even here at the park we are going to have to move to a area that there are not any camp fires, this spring break was a huge test on his lungs for that and it was awful for him.  The campfires bother his lungs and make him sick. Since winter was so wet it will be a camp fire summer here for sure.  We may work over at the historic area at the guard house for the spring and summer doing tours there.  Would like to go to Bradley Wayside but some folks just committed to that this month already. 
     Some other news is we have two new additions to the family who will be arriving this next week. They are Sugar Bear Babies "Smokey" & "Boogie" (possibly to be re-named later).  They are 8-10 weeks old and absolutely adorable little pocket pals!  Once they arrive home I will post lots of pictures.  I'm excited to get them, they are very smart adorable little creatures.  (see pictures of what one looks like below.  Well that's about it we feel blessed and grateful for where we are and what's going on for us right now, we are staying positive.

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
