Moving On

Well it's time to get a move on.  As winter sets in here in Oregon we are ready for warmer weather.  We spent last winter here and it was rough on the body, so we will not stay again this year.  We took on management of the Wilson River RV Resort in Tillamook back the last week in May.  It was a real challenge. It was under new ownership along with us new management.  The park itself sits along the Wilson River in a beautiful location with prime fishing and hunting.  From June till September we cleaned up the park, added a playground. remodeled the men showers, built two cabins, two yurts, got all the equipment running  (tractor, mowers, golf carts, week eater etc..) nothing worked.  We enforced rules that were already there but hadn't been applied to guests, created files, organized the office and management operations implementing rules and guidelines of the park. Completed maintenance of all the sites and power poles (70 plus sites) and kicked out the non- compliant and trouble makers that were negative effect on the park.  Now the park is restored back to the RV Destination place it was.  People who had quit coming started to come again and the summer was one of the busiest the park has had in a few years.  The park went from 25% capacity to 100% capacity. The all year round guests went from 12-15 to 43 currently. 

We neglected ourselves the last few months and now need to get back to our own life again.  We feel blessed to have stayed at the park and will miss most of the people there currently.  We were put there for a reason and we stayed as long as we were needed and now we are being called to leave.  We all know God has a plan  we are not aware of what it is just need to follow where it takes us.  We need to re-coop for the next chapter in our life.

Where are we going? We are going to Arizona to a 55+ RV Resort West Wind RV Golf Resort, with lots of activities, sun and fun!  Don't know how well Andrew will do there but we are going to give it a try and he will try using his machine at night now.  Here in Oregon or in Florida he doesn't have to use his machine, but in dry desert environment he will.  If he has a flare up we will have to go back to humidity climate probably Florida. Its hard to be in Oregon and not see or be with our family, it weighs on my heart daily and I think Drew's to but he handles it better.  So we need to just focus on ourselves and live our own life.  So now you are all caught up on our goings on.

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
