The Journal

Tuesday - 7/24/07 - Getting family members together for a breakfast or dinner was a little harder this year, but we made dinner at our favorite place, the Tequila Mexican Restaurant. My sister, Peggy, would be envious. We visited with lots of family and friends. I felt very fortunate that I was able to schedule lunches with both Peggy LaRocque and Marisa Ploog, but was sad I couldn't meet up with you Cecilia since you were out and about up in Seattle, Washington!! :(

Saturday - 7/21/07 - Made it back to Merced and staying at the Castle RV Park. The sunsets are pretty out here. Weather sure is different from the cool 70 degrees in Santa Cruz that we just left. We will be meeting up with as many friends and family as we can during the next few days as we will be leaving Thursday night late so we can get through Sacramento after the heavy traffic time. We have reservations for three weeks at Thousand Trails (TT) Pacific City Preserve in Oregon. After that, we will head on up to the TT Seaside Preserve also in Oregon for two weeks. These links are to the two preserves that we are going to stay at again. I really like staying in these places since it doesn't cost us anything and they all have pools. :) Rebecca and family are on the road returning back from Las Vegas as I post. The movers loaded all their furniture yesterday and will be delivering it up to Spokane WA at some point in time. I received a call from Rebecca today and they were in Dillon, Montana. We're not sure where we are going to live at this time, but Rebecca would love for us to settle up where she is going to live. Who knows???? - Shirley

Tuesday - 7/17/07 -We have been at Seacliff for four days and it is so nice. The sound of the ocean 24/7 is wonderful! The weather has been in the 60's and 70's, sun shining and not much wind. It's really nice. It's going to be tough coming to the hot weather in Merced when we leave Friday!! The stairs in the pictures are a tough one. I think Lester and I had to stop several times before we got to the top. Yesterday, I think it was only once for Lester and twice for me. As soon as I finish getting these pages posted, we're going for our walk. Lester said he thinks he can go the entire 150 steps without stopping?? We'll see. I may have to stop at least once?? - Shirley

Saturday - 7/7/07 - We are headed back down to California and are currently in Eugene, Oregon. The 13th of July thru the 19th of July, we will be at Seacliff State Beach right on the ocean. Since Mike and Rebecca are up in Spokane, WA checking on a rental and planning on getting their furniture moved up from Las Vegas, they are unable to use their Seacliff reservation, so we are going to use it for them...JJ July 20 to July 27, we will be in Merced. - Shirley

Monday - 7/2/07 - Well, we've left the Alderwood RV and are staying at the Spokane RV Resort for a week. Mike, Rebecca and kids will probably be here for a month. I celebrated my 61st birthday here. While I now try to forget these 60's birthdays, my grandkids don't see it that way. Carly made me a birthday card from everyone, Kyle made these awesome brownies and Rebecca made my favorite tacos. What a great day. - Shirley
