Hot! Hot! Hot!

We have reached that time here in Yuma of hottest part of the summer July and August.  We have been staying cool indoors and at the pool.  Went to California the last week of May and first week of June as Kyp and chance went to see Shawn in Okinawa.  Helped take care of the dogs and house with Sierra and Hunter.  Drew stayed home with our animals for the 10 days.  It was a long 10 days apart, no more of that.  Did have fun with Sierra and Hunter.  Took Hunter (great grandson) to the San Diego Safari Park, we had a great time. See photos below:  The day I returned to Yuma we had a summer pot luck that Drew and I hosted for the park.  Got home that night and next day was summer party so had to go early to club house to decorate and get everything ready, and go buy the rest of the food we needed.  Drew cooked the hamburgers and hot dogs and most people brought a side dish to share.  Had everything decorated in summer beach theme, and had some summer type games to play as well.  Had a huge turn out over 100 people. Drew has been working hard in the park two days a week, residents say in the 13 years or how ever many they have been here, they have never seen it look so good. He hears compliments like that from everyone.  They just love him and his work.  He did the floors in the club house which took him two days and they were absolutely glowing and beautiful. Most of his work is outside with landscaping and irrigation stuff.  He dug wells all around the tree's for water.  He also does a lot of extra stuff for the widows in the park who don't have a husband to do the chores.  He enjoys helping them out.  As for me I stay busy with my sewing and crafting projects, plus I am doing bible journaling now which I just love. Some of my pages are listed on the web page.  Check them out!!  I have also gotten back into stampin up as a demonstrator and will do some stamp camps this season.  I am also the head of the craft fairs here in the park once a month so have been working on that and what vendors we have and table we need ect... Plus I will do a line dance class starting in October thru till March.
The VA came and evaluated our home for things to upgrade to make it more accessible for me with my disabilities, as they are progressively getting worse.  My balance is an issue and I am a fall risk, can't get up and down good.  So things like handles by the toilet and showers, walk in tub, ramp outside. Those are just some things they have a whole list of stuff.  We go to Tuscon on 23rd of this month to go over the plans they have.  Our park model hasn't sold yet. Guess we will be renting it again this season.  Not much else to tell we don't see our family much so its just the two of us and we hang out with all our fellow resident pals here in our community.  We are going on a raft trip next Friday about 15 of us. We have water volleyball three times a week and play cards and have sun downers at the pool three times a week.  We don't play pickleball any more to much a risk for falling. Just do water aerobics and water volleyball.  Well that's about it for this month will see what August brings.

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
