A New Adventure and Chapter in Our Life

June 2020

Well we are off again to another adventure!  Can't seem to stay in one place too long and we get itchy feet.  We sold our home here in Yuma (see pictures below), and bought a 40 foot diesel motor home (also see pictures below). June was a month of many unforeseen situations.  I found out through my cousin Linda in Eugene that I have a brother Ben.  I called him right away as he had been searching for me awhile and my cousins helped him locate me.  We had a great conversation that first day and I met his beautiful family.  Since then we have been getting to know each other via chat and phone.  We will be going there in September to meet in person then going to Eugene for a family reunion.  Kyp has also met him via messages and chat.  It is amazing how much he and our son Preston are alike, and they both look like our dad in stature and build and in the face.  When I talk to Ben I see same mannerisms as Preston.  It's really weird but very exciting.  I can't wait to meet in person and get to know him better.

So we leave the 1st of July, and will stay in Yuma for most of July until new owner gets here from Texas.  Then it's to California for our great grand baby birth in August.  Then we head to Utah to meet Ben and family.  From there we will go to Eugene for family reunion which is exciting haven't seen my family there for over 20 years.  We hope to go see our son and grandchildren in Damascus after that and some friends Larry and Polly.

I should be real practiced at driving this motor home by then.  We don't really have plans after that yet, possibly come back south towards Yuma for the winter.  We still have our medical here and appointments.  Drew will be following up for the next two years after his stroke.  He is doing real well and getting better all the time.  Below are some pictures of the house we just sold, new house and some of my brother and his family.

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
