All about location







Hello everyone!!! Hope all is well. We are just peachy. Been busy with my grandsons haven't had any spare time. They have returned to Texas, Harry flew back with them Friday the 24 th. The boys are not old enough fly alone, and we just would not allow them to do it. So papa stayed overnight in Houston and flew back to Seattle Sat. 25 th.
We have moved further south Portland our first stop. Temp 95 Harry was just a huffing and puffing setting the trailer up. Complains it is hotter than Hell [we have been to Hell, located in the Cayman Islands],I did not think it was so hot. Completing the chores he got on the old web page looking for a cooler place. WA LA he found a place Devils Lake R V park in Lincoln City OR. So we packed up Monday morning and headed to the new park. It is all about LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. The temp is a nice
70 with nights in the 50's very pleasant for an old man. OOPS don't tell him I said that. he he he.
Now that he is a happy camper we will be here a week. We had dinner last night at the Chinook Casino {remember location} shared a 16 oz Rib eye
very tasty. A spectacular view of a sunset over the Pacific Ocean. After dinner we walked down to the beach front watching waves rolling in, the fresh sea mist, a chilly breeze. Ladies and Gentlemen you must put the Oregon west coast on your bucket list. The water a brilliant turquoise, white caps that sparkles.
We have taken a short drive of the coast highway.
Now to get the full pictures image driving a car with the oceans on one side, smelling the fresh sea air, watching the waves rolling toward the beach, the turquoise water glisten with the suns sparkle. The other side is vibrant green pine trees reaching toward the sky with soothing scent.
I shall soon have pictures to share.
Our friends Donna and Brenda are traveling the mid west. They bought fresh cherries. Their husbands wanted a cherry cobbler so the man pitted cherries. The women made the desert. My point Harry read their blog and I had to make him one.
Let's talk food!!!!! The west coast has great seafood. I know duh!! but remember I am from the gulf coast. Seafood is our main dish. Here you are able to get oysters year round. I love them fried, crispy and juicy hm
hm to die for. Then there's the dungeness crab with sweet white meat. As are the scallops. Oh my the claim chowder.
Fruit fresh from the fields you can pick them. Blueberries, strawberries, and cherries. OMG sweet sweet no need to add any sugar just pop into mouth and be satisfied.
I do have more to share but this be continued. Chatting about food I need to cook dinner.
Be safe and I will have another page turner tomorrow.

  2. Hi Judy, missed your blog for so long. I am sitting in Island Park, ID with the heat on! We are trying to take a float trip but it has been too cool. Maybe tomorrow. I made a cherry pie out of those cherries we picked too. It was quite good also! Now we have apricots and bing cherries from the region. Equally as good. Your pictures are great and your descriptions awesome. WA, OR, CA and NV are our agenda for next year. I'm taking notes!
