FALL 2021 While our new magical patio lights will be our major touch of color for all seasons and holidays, I decided to decorate lightly inside for fall. We are not going crazy with a bunch of stuff to store in the off season. Barry and I agree that LESS is More! Hobby Lobby has… Continue reading Decorating for Fall & Christmas!

Back Home from Summer Travels!
September 29, we made it back to Yuma to our home-sweet-home base. Wow! It felt good to come “home”. We were very pleased with how little dust made it inside! Covering all the furniture may have been overkill since the blinds were all closed and there were the sunshade screens attached on the outside of… Continue reading Back Home from Summer Travels!
Time with Isaac and Mona – September 2021
We were able to start and end our September stay in the Chula Vista area by having Isaac and Mona for three days! There’s nothing better than extended time with these two! Using the 2-inch latex topper from our bed for a bed on the floor for the kids worked great again. There is just… Continue reading Time with Isaac and Mona – September 2021
A Day At the New Children’s Museum
On September 20, Barry and I picked up Isaac and Mona for a 3-day/3-night stay with us in the motorhome out at Pio Pico in Jamul, CA. We decided to surprise the kids by going to the New Children’s Museum in San Diego. We haven’t been there since our visit back in May when the… Continue reading A Day At the New Children’s Museum
Back to Pio Pico for 4 Weeks
September 1 we returned to Pio Pio Thousand Trails in Jamul, California. We visit here fairly regularly to have quality time with our grandkids. I also get a lot of good pickleball in at Mackenzie Creek Park since it is only about 10 minutes away–and close to the kids. This post is mainly about the… Continue reading Back to Pio Pico for 4 Weeks
Chillin’ on Rincon Parkway
Barry made our reservation for two nights on the Rincon Parkway months ago. We’ve had a nice, leisure trip down the coast, but this stop was allowing us to be right at the beach and hear the waves all day and night. We both love the water. Luckily, a couple days ago he saw that… Continue reading Chillin’ on Rincon Parkway
Santa Barbara: Elks RV, Pickleball and Oysters
Santa Barbara was not a major stop, but it turned out to be the one that made August the month of oysters for us! August 26, we arrived at the Santa Barbara Elks. It was a little confusing as we pulled in. Pulling in from the street, and being about 56 feet long with the… Continue reading Santa Barbara: Elks RV, Pickleball and Oysters
Pismo Beach-Another Elks, Another Beach Town
We made it to Oceano Elks on Aug 23 to camp in the “RV Rest Area”. That’s what they call the area for RV’s to stay. It was nice that we were able to make a reservation in advance for our three night stay. Pulling in was quick and easy. Sites were pretty level with… Continue reading Pismo Beach-Another Elks, Another Beach Town
Carmel By the Sea & the Pebble Beach 17-Mile Drive
A DAY in CARMEL BY THE SEA – August 22, 2021Carmel is a lovely quaint, but expensive little town. There was one shop, “Carmel Classics”, that had the perfect shirts and super soft cross between a long sleeve shirt and a sweatshirt that I got. They were nice quality and reasonably priced. We saw the… Continue reading Carmel By the Sea & the Pebble Beach 17-Mile Drive
A Whale of a Time in Monterey!
MONTEREY BAY WHALE WATCH TOUR AUG 20, 2021 This totally topped off our summer travels!! We saw several bottlenose dolphins while we were still in the bay near the wall of sea lions. Evidently, they haven’t been in the area for a few months. As we headed out into the ocean we found so many… Continue reading A Whale of a Time in Monterey!
