Merry Christmas 2018


Merry Christmas 2018 from Laura and Gordon. Happy New Year.
I hope that 2018 was a good year for all.  We have many things to be grateful for.
Last year this time (December) we were visiting Gordon’s son Dwayne and his family in Waianae. It was great seeing Gordon’s great granddaughter, Ariel.  After our month in Oahu we went to Hilo to visit Laura’s son Kimo and family for a month also. It was a great visit with them all.  Gordon and I both spent our birthdays in Hawaii and that was fun being spoiled by our sons. It was so cool that Junior (Laura’s grandson) came to visit and so did my great niece Lauren with her so cute Hawaiian boyfriend… We were there for the “THIS IS NOT A DRILL,” IMMINANT NUCLEAR MISSLE ATTACK”. Since we were on the 5th floor and unable to run to the elevator I told Gordon there is no place for us to go ‘’SO GET TH E ICE CREAM.’’
February, March, April and May we hung out in Pahrump just resting thinking aboutwhat adventures we want to do next while the weather was really nice. Two of our wonderful neighbors, Lynn and Harry build Gordon a fabulous ramp. Elton was a great help too. We are so grateful and cherish their friendships with these dear men.
 June, July and August were excellent. The ten day cruise to Alaska was really nice. We attended our son Kevin and Amar’s 25th wedding anniversary party, it was spectacular.  Then we spent a week in Lincoln, CA with good friends Genie and Fred.  We then traveled to the Oregon Coast that we love so much.  Then we got to visit with some other special friends in Ryderwood, Washington. Molly and Al they were super hosts….but when we see them 2019 they will not have to give their bed up.
Finally we got to Spokane and spent a fabulous week with our daughter, Chryisa…..got to meet our two great grandsons, they are so adorable.
Off to Billings, Montana where we visited friends, Gretchen and Frank, we have been RV friends with them for many years. We are making plans to go to a few country concerts with them and maybe some cowboy poetry which I love.
We got a real surprise when Kimo wanted us to meet some friends of his in Fairview, Montana. Nancy and Mario we both drove 200 miles to meet up.   We really loved our several hour visit with them and we are planning to visit them again in 2019 but we will go to their ranch near the North Dakota border.  Having a hard time waiting for summer to get here.
We then somehow ended up in Buffalo, Wyoming and what a surprise to learn that Longmere was filmed here and just missed the Longmire Days in early August by a couple of weeks. I told Gordon we must be there next year and that is the plan, sure hope it happens. We also met another unique person in the local casino while having lunch. He built some Sheep Sheds and will be putting them on Air BnB in 2019. You can see him online here’s his address www.307sheepwagons.com. We also spent several days in Moab, Utah visiting the National Parks.                        
We spent September and one week in October in Show Low, Arizona before the snow sent us home.  The weather was perfect  until then. We were happy that Garrick came to visit us there, that was so nice we really enjoyed our visit with him. We visited Meteor Crater, Petrified Forest and Windsor, Arizona.  We were surprised to learn that our friend Gail was close by so we arranged to have lunch with her in Windsor.
We got back to Pahrump and we started looking for a new RV, something small and easy for me to handle. We found a 24 foot, class C motorhome with a full slide on the driver’s side. As I write this we have been on a couple of trips and we found that it is perfect for us. We are in Yuma, Arizona and will be here and around the area until late March, then return to the beautiful spring months in Pahrump.
We are thankful for our lives and our adventures we have been able to experience. In January we will have been retired for 24 years and 21 years of fulltiming RVing and two years of car traveling. (it was ok but we love the rv life style where we can sleep in our own beds and we can cook and know what we are eating.
 Thank you, Lord for all our blessings.
