Pacific Ocean/Mendocino Feb 2016
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..

Anniversary trip to Monterey/Carmel/Seaside

Ev and I decided to go to Monterey/Carmel/Seaside for our anniversary. Our 12th anniversary..
We stayed with a delightful couple that we rented a room from them via AIRBNB.. The house was 2 bedroom, 1 bath (we shared) worked out great. We had Kitchen privileges.. So we had breakfast in and had dinners out. They are pet friendly, so we brought our dogs Ripley and Kaylee. We had a nice time..
We visited Monterey wharf.. We took a sailboat ride for a couple of hours one day.. We had a Mom and 4 kids with us.. Oldest was 9 then 7 then 3 and then 1.. That's a long time to keep kids confined!! Trip was ok.. Kids were pretty good overall..
On Tuesday we walked the beach at Carmel by the sea... Took some photos of Pebble Beach.. :)
We walked up to a Aw Shucks that serve a great bloody mary!! They also serve some oysters.. 

We did dinners out.. First night was Phil's Fish Market at Moss Landing..Oh Yum!! We shared a plate of Halibut Fish & Chips!! It was wonderful!! The atmosphere is very casual.. They had a country music band that was incredible! They were amazing.. Loved it!
We had dinner at Monterey Fish House.. What a wonderful dinner we both had!! Incredibly wonderful! A must if you are ever in this area!!
Wednesday we did the sail boat ride. Ev and I got to be the "crew" taking in the sails and letting them out! Fun..
After sailing went back to our room and freshen up.. We then went to the Monterey Elks Lodge .. Beautiful lodge.. There is RV parking a swimming pool. The lodge is very nice.. Tables had white table cloths on them.. :)

Then went to the Mission Ranch where we had a couple of drinks and some very good shrimp cocktail.. The grounds were beautiful..
From here we went to the Moose lodge in Del Rey Oaks Had a drink and a couple bits of pizza that they shared with us..
From here we were tired.. stopped at Mickey "D's" for dinner and then back to our room.. Early night..
We took off for home Thursday morning.. fun time..

Eureka Crab Feed Jan 2017

Crab feed in Eureka Jan 2017
We had quite a group as always, Phil Toni, Mike, Maryann, Jim, Shirley, Jim, Jan, Lee, Laura, Rudy and Faith.
This year again rained and stormed most of the 5 days we were there.. So we did a lot of trailer hopping.. hopping from one trailer to another stay dry.. Also spent time in the lodge..
I got that nasty cold second day we were there.. YUCK!
Followed by Shirley and Everett. They got it the last day we were there.. Every years seems like I am sick.. Not sure why?

In spite of the sickness we all managed to enjoy each others company..
Got caught up in a traffic jam on the way home.. 101 was shut down in both directions for about 2 1/2 hours!  Long drive home..

Good time by one and all.. click on the link below to view all the pics..
