Seems like it been forever since i have been here to write.  Not much has changed.  We have taken the motor home out for a few weekend trips at local campgrounds but it just makes us want to keep driving and be full time rvers.  We have had a few email and phone calls on the store, but we never hear back from them.  We were hoping to sell the store and be on the road this year.  As the year gets closer to the end we think that we will be hear longer.  Jerry and i are ready to retire.  But it is not in our hands.  Someone like us that wants to own a little county store in beautiful southern Oregon will come to us someday.  We must be will to wait until that day.  We have been here 10 years now.  Just have to wait.

Had a Great time on the coast.

Jerry and I had a great time on the coast of Oregon in Brookings - Harbour this last weekend.  The  drive there and back, was a little hairy going through the Smith River Canyon, but we made it just fine.  There were a few close to the edge and close to the wall corners that Jerry had to drive on but luckily there wasn't any on-coming traffic.  It was silent going on those bad spots on the road.  About 20 miles of curvy, cliffy corners.  I thought he would have to stop and clean his shorts a time or two.  It was raining most of the trip there.  Our helper at the store worked the whole weekend for us.  It was a couple of days without working at the store.  But, every time we go out, we get more anxouis to sell the store and retire full time.

Buy the way the store is for sale.

On the beach in brooking oregon

We finally had another chance to go out for the weekend in the MH.  The girls are working and taking care of the house for us.  We are at an RV park in Harbor-Brookings Oregon.  It was raining when we left home and it is still raining, but we are not working at the store.  We are parked right off the beach and can watch the waves come in.  Lots of seagull poop on the MH already.  I guess they just aim at big silver things.

Time to go home...

Jerry and I had a nice time at the Riverpark RV Resort this week end.  We hope to go our more this year or it would be even better if we sold the store and could retire.  It time to pack up and go home now.  Bye for now,

A Chance to go

Jerry and I had a chance to take the MH out for a little camping trip for the weekend.  We have two gals taking care of the store and house.  We didn't go far from home but we are out of the store.  A nice little park on the Rouge River Just out side of Grants Pass.  Nice quiet park about 40 sites.  A little R&R for us this week end.

On their way home.

Janelle and the kids are on their way back to San Diego. The left yesterday morning and stopped at one of their friends in Redding, Ca. She is going to take her time going home.
We had a Wonderful visit with the O'hara clan. Weather Easter Sunday was nice for the egg hunt. Betsy our shepherd helped them find the eggs. The store was closed, so we had the chance to spend the day with them. I was a nice change to have company and a day off. When we sell the store we will have all the time in the world to spend with family and friends. We can't wait. But we must. Our retirement is in someone else hands.

Happy Easter!!!

The kids are up and have there Easter baskets. Jerry and Janelle are out hiding eggs. I don't remember hiding eggs as a kid but I'm sure we did. All I remember is the cold slushy snow and that I my pretty Easter dress with new black patent leather shoes were not warm and had to cover it all with a big ole coat going to church. Seam to remember that I always had an ear ache also. Until I had my tonsils out. This was in Michigan.

Jerry and Janelle just came in from hidding eggs and she wants do the hunt now, before the bear and all the wild animals and birds get the eggs. City girl. Lets wait till it warms up a tad.
Happy Easter

Need Propane

Jerry took the MH out to get propane in it yesterday. The weather has been colder than usual and we were running out. Janelle and the kids are in the house and we are out in the MH. There is only one direction he can bring the MH in the side yard so he stopped to pick up the kids to give them a little ride to go to his turn around place. When they got back they had real big eyes and gave PaPa big hugs for the 6 mile ride. Janelle said she could really get used to this, you can see forever. Got to love those big MH front picture windows. I my self haven't had only one opportunity to take a ride. Some day it will be FULL TIME!!!

Janelle and kidos are here...

Janelle and the kidos arrived yesterday afternoon for a visit from San Diego. They will be moving to Pensacola in July. It is fun having the grand-kids around. They are getting so big. Jaelyn will be 10 this year. Time flies quickly when you don't see them. We stayed in the MH so Janelle and the kids could sleep in the house. Just like camping. Can't wait to be in the MH full time.

I can't beleive that it is still rainning...

Well lets see... Well over 4 inches of rain. The creek is going over the edge and the yard is soaked. Janelle and the grand-kids are expected tomorrow night sometime. We had her wait a day because of the weather. Looks a little better tomorrow. She has to come through the Siskiyou pass in southern Oregon. It is the highest point on I5, and she has to come over it. It is a lot colder today so I hope she doesn't his any snow. We are excited to see her and the kids. We will be staying in the MH while she is here. Fun Fun.

Will it ever stop raining?

We have had well over 4" of rain in the last couple of days. Creek is roaring out back and there is a little lake on the side yard. Last year Jerry cut down the two oak trees that were right next to the MH. Oak trees are dirty trees for the roof of the MH. When he got the trees removed, bucked and split, we brought in a load of gravel for the MH to sit on. Looks nice, and the MH is now sitting on an island. It has a mote around it now. High and dry.
Janelle and the grand-kids are too come up from San Diego for Easter. Hope the weather clears up for them. Because kids being cooped up in side a small home is not good.

Just another rainy day...

We sure are getting tired of all these rainy days. And are getting anxious to get the MH de-winterized, so we can get out and use it once in a while. It's hard to see it setting in the back yard. It needs to get some miles on it. We havent got any offers on the store, but i hope that it will happen this year. We are coming up on our 1o years of owning the store and would like to retire soon. We would love to start our fulltime rving adventures soon. Just have to be patient and wait. Our retirement is in someone else hands. Just wish all this rain would stop and the sun comes out to warm things up. That would help our attitudes allot.

Happy New Year 2012

Happy New Year!!!
I haven't posted in a while, because, well, I just didn't have anything new to right about. We are still working a the store and waiting for someone to buy it so we can retire and enjoy the motor home. We are hoping this will be the year for us. We are ready to get on the open road and see this country of ours.
Hope all are well,
