Update: March 6th, 2016.
After a very very long year of learning to live a new life with my most recent handicap. I am getting movement in my arm!! :) It started the end of August and has been progressing, slowly. My issues with paranioia and depression are also getting better. I am confident that things will continue to progress. However, loosing a whole YEAR of my life is devastating to say the least. However, keeping a positive attitude for the most part has been a huge challenge, but I do it. I am grateful to all my family and friends that have been so encouraging and helpful. Thank you..

Easter at Salt Point on the Coast


Lindsy and I made reservations about 6 week ago at Salt Point state park for 3 nights camping.
We arrived at the campsite late that afternoon. The weather was crisp and windy, no fog..
We got our camps set up, chit chatted, had dinner late.
Friday was a busy day..Lindsy & Chris cooked breakfast, Had breakfast burritos.. yum..
Jamie and the girls came up to visit us for the day. We colored Easter Eggs, did Easter baskets.. Kids had fun..

Our day on Friday was pretty eventful. We took a drive down to Stump Beach, of course we all missed the turn.. Finally all got there, did a little walk and then headed back to camp. Our our way back there was an accident just as we turned into park. A guy on a motorcycle rear-ended a women and slide his bike under her car.. He seemed to be ok, however looks can be deceiving. From there we drove down to the waters edge through the park. We were all hiking around looking at the seals and just enjoying our surroundings. When all of sudden we saw the reach helicopter coming in for a landing.

The guy from the motorcycle wasn't doing as well as they had thought, so they decided to take him by REACH to memorial in Santa Rosa. Hope he will be ok..
After waiting an hour or so before the helicopter could take off, we could then drive back up to our camp.
It was a really fun day with all kids.. Ev and I really enjoyed it.. :)
Soon after we got back to camp, Jamie and the kids packed up and left for home.

2016-3-25 Good Friday
Friday night Lindsy & Chris made a lovely dinner.. ummm tri tip..
We were early to bed that evening.
Saturday I made breakfast and we all ate inside. It was still very crisp and windy. We had our breakfast and soon Kim & John showed up. Shocked that my brother-in-law John was actually staying over night with us in the trailer!! :) He isn't really the camping type. But? He did great! A real trooper! He even took walks with us! Overall I do believe he enjoyed hisself!!
After Kim & John arrived we got them all settled in, and then all got in the truck and headed to Stump Beach once again.. This time we hiked down onto the beach..




From here we drove up to Gualala to check out other camping options for future camping trips.. While we were there we had a bit to eat in the little town.. Did a little shopping and then back to camp.
My night to cook, we were having ham. Kim & John headed up the homemade scallopped potatoes.. Lindsy did salad and bread.. so we were good to go..Again we ate inside, too windy and cold outside..
Really had another great day..

Sunday/Easter morning we all were up and at'im.. Got the trailer put back together, all of met up and did a nice long walk down to the ocean. John stayed back to watch over camp.. :) We probably walked a good mile 1/2 or so.. It was low tide.. This time we saw some grey Whales spouting. Pretty cool.. Kim and I walked back to camp so we could get our breakfast going. We had meats from tri-tip/ham/sausage to cook. Along with fruit/eggs/etc.. Really a feast!
Sunday/Easter was the only day we ate at the picnic table.
We got it all cleaned up and were ready to leave by about 1230ish to head home. It was a really fun weekend!! :)

Changes

I have been having quite a time trying to update my blog. Seems Live Writer (editor program) I was using to write and post my blog is no longer doing updates to their website and thus? I am unable to use the program to post on to this blog.. Its confusing.. So am I these days, confused. Now the new system I am using seems to be a big challenge to me. I am getting it. However, there are many steps that I need to take before it all gets here.. Don't want to bore you with the details..
I am hoping with in the next month or so that I will have caught up most of what "YOU" have been missing about Ev and I. I am using the blogger dashboard to post with.. It doesn't have the options that I would like. For instance the "font" is very limited, the size of the "font" is small, med, large, largest.. Pretty basic..
Being that I am creative, I like to be creative here too. As I said, very challenging. Hopefully after sometime of use, I will be able to master this new and simple format. :) LOL
