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

Washington Visit Part 3: Quality Time with a Few Friends
KEEPING MY VISIT LOW KEY:All states have basically opened up from the pandemic, but the world is still dealing with Covid-19 (and new variants). Most people are not wearing masks anymore whether vaccinated or not. I am not vaccinated due to personal concerns of immediate and long term effects, therefore, I need to be careful.… Continue reading Washington Visit Part 3: Quality Time with a Few Friends
Washington Visit Part 2: Treasured Time with Abby & Richard
I rode home with Abby after the BBQ and was able to spend about two weeks with her in Shoreline. While she worked from home during the day, I spent most of her work hours playing pickleball at Yost Park (which was only 4 miles away), and running errands. Before or after dinner we often… Continue reading Washington Visit Part 2: Treasured Time with Abby & Richard
Washington Visit Part 1: Arrival and Arlie’s 2021 BBQ
We took the scenic drive from Seaside to Tacoma/Lakewood…of course. LOL It was actually a very pleasant drive. Although there was one point when I noticed a deer at the edge of the road that was a bit unnerving. I tapped the break to slow down and Barry said he braced for impact, but she… Continue reading Washington Visit Part 1: Arrival and Arlie’s 2021 BBQ

Multnomah Falls and 115 Degree Temp w/Best Friends

A few years later when we retired and became full-time RVers, they were our first planned stop in Lewistown, Montana, which… Continue reading Multnomah Falls and 115 Degree Temp w/Best Friends
Unexpected Set Backs
A couple of medical issues provided a bit of drama, not to mention a bit of a scare as we were starting our summer adventures… Sorry–no real pictures to accompany most of this blog entry. I think you’ll understand why. This is also why it has been so important to us that we BOTH are… Continue reading Unexpected Set Backs
Beach Time with Nana & Papa
We ended our time in Southern California with a full week at Silver Strand State Beach, June 6-June 13. This timeframe worked out great since Justin was off work for most of the week. He was able to bring Isaac and Mona out to us on Tuesday to stay for 3 days/2 nights. This was… Continue reading Beach Time with Nana & Papa
