Morro Dunes, CA



Howdy all,

Haven't blogged for quite a while. We have had a very sick nobbiecat and I just couldn't get my Christmas and New years videos and pictures together to post. Just too overwhelmed and upset. I will get them together at a later date. Nobbie seems to be getting better, has a funny voice, but eating well and wanting to go outside for walks as usual. I am still keeping a close watch on him. So rather than getting way behind, I will try to show where we are now and what we are doing.
.
We are now in Morro Bay at Morro Dunes Rv park.


We arrived on Monday. The weather was windy when we arrived, then turned nice and warm in the 70s...but we are now have a cool front...so it will be in the mid fifties for a few days before getting warmer.

We can walk out of Homey and to the beach, I have been told we can walk nine miles of beach to the north of us. Jeff and I had a nice two and a half hour walk on the beach yesterday. I collected more sand dollars...these are smaller than the ones i collected on the east coast. Anyone want them? I don't know whether to keep them or not. I also collected some cute little shells. Nothing big like in Florida. But some sweet ones. I was thinking of making something out of them. When our friends Geno and Patti arrived yesterday she said she is decorating bird houses with shells...so maybe I will do that.

Our Friends Dick and Judy arrived a few days ago, they will be joining us for the Bird Festival here. That is what brought us to this area, Geno and Patti told us about this festival and here we are. Very pretty area. I will post pictures in a bit.

I really haven't been online much as you know, mom and Adele, we've been socializing.
I think the schedule might change and we will have some free nights and I will join you all online in the evening. That might happen after the Bird Festival, which starts tomorrow and ends Monday night.
I am also online in the Morning.

More to come...bird festival videos and pics....

On the road again....Happy Holidays

Finally, ahh, finally we made it out of Junction City, Oregon.....where our Homey was born. What a long trying time it was waiting for parts...getting things done and updated on Homey. But alas and hooray...we are done for now.

I will have some pictures of our new addition in a future post.....
We are currently in Florence, Oregon....on the coast....picked up our dining chairs that were reupholstered and now as I type a carpet is being put in our bedroom. Jeff ran off to the casino...so I stayed behind to run the slide room in and out for Jose who is installing.
We will leave here late tonight or very very early tomorrow to make it to Sebastopol, Ca. to spend Christmas with friends. It will be a long 10 hour drive.

In the meantime I am very happy to be on the road again and enjoy our new addition. I watch it all the time. And listen to the nice sounds it makes. Every now and then I Change it.
Anyway stay tuned for pictures of the new addition
can you guess what the new addition is?
the correct answer gets a prize..
.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah

Still Here..........

Darn,
We are still here In Junction City, Oregon. The New 32 inch HDTV..is almost installed... I will include some pictures of the TV when it is done.

We have lots of loose ends to tie up before we head south. I am getting frustrated..., I could be at the coast picking juicy boletes instead of hanging out here in the smog. boo hoo... well enough of my crying....

We went to a fun Light parade in town ...below is the video....

I forget the name of the artist of this picture...darn....he is the same artist that did the picture of the two cats and me on the bottom left of my blog page....ha...well I like to think it is me......anyway, when i know i will post it...that is me sleeping in the leaves...did you see Ballie there?
The artist is Jean-Paul Avisse.

Hanging out in and around Eugene Oregon, Thanksgiving Dinner with new friends and Coach owners

Wow has it been a whole month without blogging... what the heck have we been doing?


Well we have been hanging out in this part of Oregon for over a month now.(Maybe too long..Jeff is looking kind of fishy) Having various things done to fix Homey and all the normal check up type appointments that Homey needs.... nothing major....just all these things take time...

We are out of the homey most days when it goes into service....so our lives are a bit disrupted...we leave and the cats leave with us...they stay in the car all day. Sometimes we hang out with others in service...sometimes we go out and about. Picked some mushrooms to replenish my stock.

I am ready to move on, but we cant just yet.
we love hanging out with our friends here, but we are tired of living out of our homey all day...and tired of living in disarray.... . Next week we will have the TV put in...then after that we go to the coast to pick up our chairs and to have new carpet installed.

I am now sitting with Jeff in a Coffee shop, just had a maple nut latte. Christmas music playing, Nutcrackers sitting on display on the upper level, Christmas tree in the corner, Icicle lights in the front window. LOVEY
Just finished watching, on the computer, the last episode of Survivor that i missed, great episode.
Jeff is working on his crossword puzzle..and occasionally interrupts me and asks me too look up something on the Internet to help him with the puzzle....LIFE IS GOOD..

Jeff with fish head above...went to a McGraths fish restaurant and that is what they would put on your head if it was your birthday ..so Jeff decided it was his birthday....he got ice cream too.
I couldn't help taking the picture below...the kitties all cuddled up in that small bed. The little girl


liked that too.



Below are two videos....one is our thanksgiving dinner..Tammy and Mom wanted pictures of Jeff's plates ....so they got them...
sorry guys about no videos lately...but i see no one is complaining too much...Ha
Hopefully i will do more in the future....

Yachats Mushroom Festival Day 2


This was the second day of the mushroom festival we attended last week. We had a great time, but felt the festival lacked the excitement that the previous festivals had.

Check out the Mt. Pisgah mushroom festival that i will Blog soon. That festival is held in Eugene and is one day and allot of fun.
