FALL AT OUR HOUSE

I know it has been awhile since I posted anything. I felt like I really didn't have alot to say. David came last Monday but we decided I would stay at the house for several reasons.

Of course..if it's not one thing it's another. The company that is supposed to be putting in our new jacks on the 5th wheel have so far screwed up everything they could. The guy that was doing it got into an accident, some of the bolts were not delivered and one of the jacks was not the right one. Now, those of you that know David, know how well he took all of this. He called, told the owner off who in turn said he would sue David for slander, etc. So, we still do not have the jacks fixed and I'm sure if it were a cafe, they would spit in our food.

Then David got a speeding ticket on the Arizona side. He said the guy was a real jerk, of course.

Next while I was gone the laptop went to blue screen and shut off. The only place we could take it was to Best Buy because it is still under warranty. There is no Best Buy anywhere around Laughlin and the closest is in Las Vegas. Anyway, David brought it home and took it to San Luis who found out it was a hard drive problem. At least it is on them to fix it. However, that means I lost everything in it. It should be ready to pick up some time next week. David will be finishing up his job at the end of the month so there is no point for him to come back and pick me up for just a couple of days.

We will be going to a town called Meridian. It is in Northern California. It is on the delta and about 1 hour from my Moms. We are going to stay there the month of December. After that in January, we are going to Quartzsite, AZ to the biggest flea market ever. We are spending a week there.

We got another job offer from a hot springs resort and spa in Death Valley and are considering that until we move on. There are so many places we want to see but need to wait until spring and summer.

So, I will be spending Thanksgiving here with the kids. I am sure they are probably real tired of me at this point but parents are here just to irritate their children, I know I am.

Fall has come to Lake Nacimiento. It is beautiful right now. We have a little coastal fog every morning and then it heats up in the afternoon. Can't complain about the weather. The Grandkids are all fine and growing, I'm always happy to see them.

Best Wishes to all. I hope you have lots to be thankful for this year, I know we do.

Happy Thanksgiving

David and Carol

OUR HOUSE

I thought maybe I'd just show the house...don't ask why. I've been here almost 2 weeks. In that time, I went to Sacramento to see my Mom. Allison (my oldest Grand daughter) came with me and helped me clean house. We also went to dinner and helped Mom figure out her address book. After I came back home, I had a couple of Dr. appointments and then David will pick me up next Monday. The weather has been nice since I've been here.

Last night my friend Anna took me out to dinner. We had a good time talking and we even got to have a margarita. I do miss my friends.

It has been nice getting to be around 3 of our Grandsons during this time. When they are small they grow so fast, I'm afraid I'll miss something. Nick is doing good in his new school, smartest kid in class, Logan has learned to use the toilet, and Wyatt is continuing to practice his insane screaming...he is quite good at it.

David is not happy at his new job. They changed his hours to evenings so I guess this job will be short lived. We are now looking for a new place we want to go to. We're not sure if we want to go north or south. Molly was happy to get home but I can tell she is ready to get back on the road. Every time I get my purse she is at the door waiting. She also misses her Daddy David.

It has been nice to be able to drive my car for awhile and do some things I wanted to do but David and I miss each other and are anxious to be together again.

EASY ON THE EYES

These are all pictures outside our back window. It is really nice to wake up to something this beautiful. Who knows, I may be able to get out the art supplies and paint one of these views.

It seems that the people over on this side of the RV park are more friendly than on the other side. I think the ones over here are more long time people. Yesterday when we moved in (which is always a chore), one of our next door neighbors came over. It turns out that he is from Bakersfield, CA and is here so his wife can go to some school around here. I met the ones on the other side this morning. They are in a big bus. You can just about see it all here when it comes to RV's. For some people it's like driving a semi truck with all your household belongings. Some of them have 40 ft. buses towing a 25 ft. trailer filled with motorcycles, golf carts and junk. I saw one 35 ft. 5th wheel pullin a double decker trailer. On the bottom was an ATV and on the top was a boat. I guess they kind of think 'just in case I need it'. There are some really old ones that look like they've seen better days too but I guess it really doesn't matter what you travel in, just as long as you can travel.

After David gets off of work today, we will be driving to Paso Robles. It will take about 7 hours. Neither one of us like that trip but at least it's close enough to do in one day.

As the pictures show, anywhere that pleases the eye can be a Paradise. So, I'm signing off from our little bit of Paradise.

ON THE SHORT ROAD

Davids New Workplace

Retro RV

Today we will be moving again from one space to another. Employees of the casino are given more permenant accomadations. So we will be moving about 3 rows over. I think our new space will be better. It backs up to the golf course so it's more private and nice to look at. Moving entails packing everything up no matter how far you are moving, so today is all about packing and cleaning.

Tomorrow after David gets off work we will be driving home to Paso Robles. David will drive back here for work and I will be staying in Paso for a few days. I'll be able to enjoy Nicky's birthday and be able to go to Sacramento to see my Mom. There are always those things to do like going to a yearly appt. to the DR. I'm exited to go home and check on everything. David will come back and pick me up in a week or two.

The motorhomes above are real vintage looking. They had a little rally here and there were about 6 of them. The orange one has a corvair engine. We thought they were all really cute. It looks pretty overcast this morning, like it is going to rain. The weather has been wonderful. It has been about 93 degrees this past week. Love the summer weather.

That's all from this little piece of Nevada Paradise.
