We returned to Oregon just in time for the arctic blast of snow and freezing rain! 🥶Thank goodness it thawed in time to celebrate Christmas with the family.
Marcia, Randy and I hosted our annual Christmas Eve Dinner, a southern feast of ribs, corn pudding, mac and cheese and collard greens with Dave's famous carrot cake and Marcia's cookies for dessert. Uncle Dan provided his home for the festivities which his daughters, Sally, Diana and Michele, had beautifully decorated.
Sharon and Larry hosted a delicious Christmas brunch.
We had a wonderful morning visiting, opening gifts and checking out the telescope Braden constructed.
We headed back to Uncle Dan's for a seafood dinner, prepared by Marcia, followed by some rousing games of 5 Crowns with the cousins.
We are returning to our home in Arizona today. Many thanks to Uncle Kay for allowing us to be his guests for the past six nights.
Randy and I hope our friends and family had a very merry Christmas and wish you all a healthy, happy New Year! 🎉Läs mer

We had a good three weeks at our home in Arizona. We spent time making it our own with some additional pieces of furniture and household decor, refurbishing/painting guest room furniture and setting up the patio.
We have wonderful, welcoming neighbors who included us in their happy hour and dinner parties.
After two days of heavy rain we had water views from our home.
Last week we headed up to Chandler and Scottsdale to see their holiday decorations and for some Christmas shopping.
Pickleball and bike riding have been keeping us active.
Yesterday we began the journey back to Oregon for Christmas and after two long days of driving made it to Uncle Kay's in Milwaukie, OR for a week's stay.Läs mer

We started our southerly journey with a stop at Speedco in Aurora, Oregon, for our motorhome's annual oil change, lube and change of filters. We'd planned on spending our first night in Canyonville, OR but decided to take advantage of an excellent weather window and pushed through to Corning, CA. The sunset was gorgeous crossing over the Siskiyous into California.
Night two was spent boondocking at Harris Ranch Inn in Coalinga, CA. The Inn was beautiful, fully decorated for Christmas. We took a long walk through the almond grove behind Harris Ranch while munching on almonds leftover from the harvest.
Sunday night we boondocked at Spotlight 29 Casino in Indio, CA where we enjoyed a delicious meal at the Taproom and a poor night's sleep next to the hwy and trucks in their parking lot.
We got an early start yesterday and arrived at our home after an easy five hour drive. We kept very busy yesterday and today transferring a remarkable amount of stuff from the motorhome to our winter home. It's amazing how much our tiny home holds!Läs mer

We've spent the last two weeks getting our home on wheels ready for it's southerly migration, shopping for Christmas gifts and catching up with friends and family.
I shared an excellent lunch with Jan at Nicholas Lebanese restaurant in Gresham. https://www.nicholasrestaurant.com/
Sharon, Larry, Randy and I enjoyed a yummy rum cake and visit at our neighbor's, Kathy and Rick. We took a feast of Japanese food over to Kelly and Kyle's. I treated my sister, Marcia, to a delicious dinner at Murata for her birthday before heading to Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall for an Evening with David Sedaris, her birthday present to me! I've read or listened to all of David's books so it was great seeing him live. https://www.muratarestaurant.com/
Yesterday Marcia, Randy and I hosted Thanksgiving dinner at Uncle Kay's. It was delicious, though we did miss our kids, Uncle Dan and Sally due to illness.
Today we begin the journey to our winter home in Arizona.
We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. 🍁🦃Läs mer

We've spent the last couple of weeks catching up with friends and family and playing pickleball indoors at a church in Estacada.
Sunday we celebrated Larry, Marcia and Braden's November birthday's at Kyle and Kelly's.
Although we've been enjoying the colors of autumn and appreciate the much needed rain we are looking forward to heading south for warmer weather.
Today we had the sad task of saying goodbye to our dog, Kuma. He brought us 16 years of companionship and joy and will be sorely missed.Läs mer

We transitioned from late summer into autumn during our two week stay in Seaside. The first week was sunny and warm. We were happy to be away from the smokey skies in the Portland Metro area.
Our days were spent playing pickleball and meeting new friends on the courts at the RV Resort and taking long bike rides on the Promenade and neighborhoods in Seaside.
We had our friends, Kathy & Renee, over for pickleball and happy hour. We met them several years ago in California and have kept in touch during our travels.
Carl and Val had us over for dinner and a tour of their beautiful new beach home.
During week two we spent an afternoon at Cannon Beach and, last Thursday, in Astoria where we dined on seafood at South Bay Wild Fish House
http://www.southbaywild.com/ then baked goods at Table 360 Bakery and Bistro https://table360bakery.com/
Both were excellent.
As the weather became wetter and colder we sought indoor pickleball courts at Camp Rilea, the Sunset Empire Parks and Recs gym and the Lighthouse Resort Tennis Club. We found competitive play with friendly people at all three venues.Läs mer

We've been enjoying the warm weather with al fresco dining followed by games of 10,000 and Rummicub with Sharon and Larry, playing pickleball at local courts, enjoying Uncle Kay's delicious tomatoes and going to an excellent production of Hello Dolly, with Sharon, at the Nutz n Boltz Theater. http://nnbtheater.com/theater/september-23rd-oc…
To day we headed back to the Oregon coast for a ten night stay at the Seaside RV Resort.Läs mer

Last Tuesday we had lunch with my cousin Sharon and her husband Steve before they went home to Texas.
Friday we headed to Oceanside, Oregon where we were joined by Sharon & Larry, Kelsie & Braden, Kyle & Kelly and Marcia for a family vacation. We had an epic weekend of eating, drinking, strolling the town & beach, hiking, playing board games & cards, star & ocean gazing, seeing the local sights and celebrating my birthday.
Today Randy and I stopped at the Tillamook Creamery for some ice cream, on our way home.Läs mer

We've had a busy two and a half weeks. We celebrated Sharon, Kyle and Kuma's birthdays, lunched with friends and had a birthday celebration for Uncle Kay which was attended by our Texas relatives Auntie Toku, cousin Sharon and Steve.
Today I took my MIL Sharon, Toku and Kay to the Swan Island Dahlia Festival in Canby, OR. A perfect day for viewing gorgeous flowers.

We spent five days cleaning the motorhome outside and in, catching up with doctor and dental appointments, housekeeping at Uncle Kay's with Kelsie, Pegs and Jokers with Sharon & Larry and harvesting blackberries before traveling north to visit our friends, Gary and Carrie, at their home on Brown Island. Gary and Randy have been friends since childhood and I met Gary when I met Randy, over fifty years ago!
As always G & C were fantastic hosts. They kept us busy playing pickleball and board games, crabbing, driving around San Juan Island, dining on Gary's Greek and Mexican cuisine, and at Westcott Bay, relaxing in and out of their spa and watching the U S Open Tennis Match and Top Gun Maverick.
We head back to our home base in Boring today.Läs mer
