2023-09-18 Monday, Oregon Trip to Visit Family and Friends


Ryan and Amanda’s
Steps – 2,390

We woke up to a smokey sky. Somewhat better today, but not much. Ryan was off to work early this morning; the kids had school, cleaned up the RV, and Barry cleaned up his BBQ today. I was on a few calls today and going through email. I played ball with the dogs. They wore me out!

Before Ryan got home from work, Amanda took Tucker to the pump track to ride his new bike. He said it took a little time to get used to it, but it felt great. From the photos Amanda took, he looked like he was enjoying himself. 

Addison spent part of the afternoon riding Josey. No barrel practicing, just for a ride. 

Ryan BBQed chicken on his Traeger, and it was delicious. We had everyone taste Aunt Reba’s BBQ sauce (see previous blogs).  They all agreed it was the best BBQ sauce they had. They couldn’t get enough. I informed him if they came to our Annual Griffin Christmas Dinner again, they would get some, but we did leave them some of ours. 

The sunset was beautiful tonight due to the smoke. Amanda and I sat on the porch to watch it. We also had a little green visitor on the front door. It was only about 1.5 inches, a tiny little guy. He was staying high to hide from the one chicken Amanda let out to roam for a bit. They love frogs; at least Amanda’s chickens do.

Another rousing game of Sequence, and this time, Ryan and Tucker lost...YEA. Barry and I won. I do not think Amanda was very happy. She is still trying to maintain her composure. Addison was very vocal about losing again. We couldn’t let Tucker and Ryan win again. 

BTW-Barry hates mosquitos, and they are eating him alive.

2023-03-29 Wednesday Pismo Beach Oceano Campground




Today was another property search day with K & J, Santa Maria, Nipomo, and Orcutt. We drove through a few gated communities but nothing with room for RV and boat storage. We did see a few lovely older homes with large lots, but the houses need a lot of work. 

We ate in Orcutt at Blast 825 Brewery, Brussels sprouts, super tater-tots, steak bites, and onion rings. Don't worry; we did order a basket of fries. We love this place. Great looking brewery. Unfortunately, there were only a few homes to see in this area after lunch. 











Long-Billed Curlew

We were home by 4 PM. We decided to walk the campground to stretch our legs. Then we had a last-minute decision and walked to the beach. It was cool and windy, but a great time to be on the beach. Only a few people and lots of birds. Just to hear the ocean and birds was worth dealing with the cool air. 

Most of the clam shells were complete

While we went on our walk. Jan put the lasagne in the oven and prepared a Caesar salad for dinner. 

We played Sequence after dinner. Barry and I won 3 out of 5 games. The first time we have played in a long time. I love this game. Check it out if you have never played. Sequence Board Game

We left their motorhome around 9:30 PM, just before the rain hit, and it was one heck of a good storm. 
I love drifting off to sleep listening to the rain.
