Long Time

OK so it has been a long time sense I have posted. Not sure where to begin so I won't even try. We are now home owners in California AGAIN. Yes we came back Tennessee was awesome and the people were even better. We both miss them and the state tremendously and plan on visiting many times. But family and friends and the fact that California is "Home" drew us back.

We are all doing well and I hope to add more to this in the future with more Escapade's..

Plus I need to learn how to work this crazy thing (the blog) again.....  

49er Saturday 3-26-11

We are at 49er Camp in Plymouth Ca. came up here Thursday and OH MY did in Rain and 50 mile wind. The drive was OK as long as we had the wind at our rear as soon as I turned on to Highway 88 and the wind hit the side and blew us all over. We are with Butch and Karla and a few FaceBook friends. We are camped next to a small creek and the water rose all day Thursday, good thing right after the rain quit the water went down...... Whew....... Shelia and I did some site seeing and we took a few pictures and I will take some more of the camp ground as soon as I get down with this post.

Sunday March 6 2011

Not much going on just waiting and trying to decide where we are going to hang our hat. I have given it much thought over the past week and I really do not want to live in the Valley with all the oppressive heat in the summer and the COLD COLD FOG in the winter. I know we moved back to California to be closer to family and friends and if we land in the foothills we will be a lot closer. Like 2 hours instead of 5 days. Moving to Tennessee was a GREAT experience and I would not change that. But the opportunity that await Brianna here in California are tremendous even with all the goings on with the State of the State. 

Az....... NM...... in November

Trip To SAL 10-11

Here is a small snippet of our San Antonino Lake camping trip. We had a great time with friends here in California. It rained HARD off and on for the whole time we were there. The nice thing is we have the use of a room large enough for all of us to gather out of the elements. Sunday the weather broke and it was a nice day to watch the Daytona 500 we had a pool going for $2 a car. We put $10 bucks in and got 5 cars, the winning went as follows. First car out of the race wins $10 and the winner of the race wins $45... WE WON BOTH ch ching... hahaha

Thursday 2-17-11

Waaaa Hoooo today we leave to go camping/Parking as Alex puts it. Right now it is windy and rain is on the way. But what the heck we will be with friends and we will be in our Motor Home relaxing. This being retired is hard to do but some has to do it and it may as well be ME.... Make it a Great Day....

Love This Car....

Tuesday 2-15-2011

Not much going on again. I did get the Motor Home all un-winterized. I tested everything propane, water, and electrical stuff. All we need to do is pack our "Stuff" in and go. The weather was beautiful today but it will be changing in the next few days just in time for our camp out at San Antonio Lake in Monterrey County. 

Thursday we will hook up with our friends Sam and Linda and convoy to SAL, should be fun times.

We still have not decided 100% on where we are going to hang our hat. Jackson is LQQKING good but there are a lot of what if's. Still working on what we are going to do with Brianna. She is still falling through the cracks as far as getting help with living. Here is a random picture....

Saturday 2-12-11

Had a good day yesterday. Worked on a leak in the Motor Home (sure hope I got it) and talked to a very dear friend in New Hampshire for over a hour. So nice catching up with him and he catching up with us. I guess it's true that absent makes the heart grow stronger. Sure do miss Terry and Carol. 

Not much going on here today we are about to head out to church in Ceres and then go by the storage yard and gather a few necessary items. This coming week we are going with our California group camping. We have not been camping/parking (as Alex calls it) sense October when we were here last. I am going to add a random photo just because I can.

There were some really neat things we liked about Nashville and the "Bat" building was one of them
 

We are in California

OK so let me explain. My laptop broke and it was in for repair in Tennessee. Well it was not repaired before we left for California. They said they would ship it to meas soon as it came in. Well it came in and got buried on a shelf. Shelia called them last week and they had just shipped it out. It should be here next week. It has all my information on it and I have been using Shelia's Laptop. So that is why I have not been posting. 

We are now in California all settled in living temperately at Mark and Pam's. All of our stuff is in storage and our lives are on hold until we get some personal things done. 

Packers WON....... LoL

Home from Florida

Well Florida was nice but I would not want to live there, all I could think about was hurricanes and a WHOLE bunch of rain. We went to Disney World, we had 4 day tickets without park hoppers. So we went to the Magic Kingdom which was a lot like Disneyland, a few rides were the same and a few different, but to Disney feel was there and we love that part. We spent 2 days at Epcot and fell in love with Epcot that's why we spent 2 days there. Our last day we went to the Animal Kingdom and really enjoyed that. Over all it was very expensive and I doubt we will ever go back unless some one pays our way or we win the LOTTERY... We also spent one day at Universal and it SUCKED.... If you want details call me......   

Suday January 2nd Take 2

I think you can click on the picture and make it bigger...

Sunday January 2nd

Today we start our trek to Disney World. We are excited and apprehensive at the same time. It is unbelievable how expense it is and that's just buying the tickets and the Hotel. This could be the one and only time we go. The common man could not afford to go very often. It better be a heck of a lot of fun is all I can say. 

Woke up to 12 degrees and it darn well be a heck of a lot warmer tomorrow. .

Parthenon close to downtown Nashville

Took this picture last year. Has nothing to do with Disney World but I thought I would add it to here because I could.

New Years Day 2011

Hustle and bustle around here getting ready for our trip to Disney World tomorrow. This is the first day of the new year and the first day of the rest of our life. Should be a GREAT YEAR 2011 it was the original year I was going to re-tire from the city....
