MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE
BORNKAMPS’ 2015
In January we spent several months in Yuma….we went to a really
fun party for New Years at the Paradise Casino, there was a lot of food, great
music and favors….we danced the night away, it was all free…… We also had our
Country coach painted at a very reasonable price in Yuma by Top of the Line…we
highly recommend them.
February we spent time in Quartzsite,
Arizona, we then came home to Pahrump, Nevada and in
March we flew to Florida to be with
my sister, Lola while she made funeral plans for her husband Tony. They were married over 52 years….very sad….
We joined Armed Forces Vacation Club
in April (AFVC) and stayed in a condo in Las Vegas with friends, Dorothy and Chuck……anyone who has been
in the service can join AFVC, it’s free. It was really nice.
May was full of many doctors
appointments for Gordon….his left leg was not working right and he is proned to
falling…he now has a cane he must use.
Gordon went through so many blood test, MRI’s and nerve conduction test
and a spinal tap and they cannot find what is going on with his leg. Very
frustrating.
Garrick bought Gordon a wonderful
juicer to hopefully help in having a more nutritious diet. We juice everyday
now.
June was a fun month, we got an
Airbnb room and spent three nights in Long Beach close to where my nephews,
Steven and Stevie were and my sister Lola …we had a good time together. Steven
and Stevie took us to a fabulous dinner.
July and August was the most fun…..being
in Show Low, Arizona in the White Mountains at 6K feet.
We rented a really nice RV lot and
spent two months of great weather, golfing, dancing, games, bike riding, cards
and I did some pottery. Cannot wait to
go back…not to mention that we met so many people that were so awesome…hope to
visit some of them in February most of them are in the Phoenix area.
September we headed for the Pacifica
Fog Fest and a reunion with some of high school
friends in Pacifica, CA. We rented a house for
three days….it was so fun….Got to see family in the bay area. We stayed with
son, Garrick for a week.
October we headed for the Reno
Italian Fest, another great few days with long time friends, Dorothy and Chuck…we
met a lot of our family there….really enjoyed our time.
November was really GREAT, a new park
model, we are so happy in our new place…
We got to see Rand Paul and Dr. Ben
Carson, what a surprise that they came to our small town.
I could not believe the our nephew
Joseph would volunteer to come to Pahrump for 3 days and build us a patio, he
worked so hard, he brought his big truck and
lots of tools and worked his butt off….we are extremely grateful.
We had a wonderful visit from Gordon’s youngest son, Garrick, when he
visited us in Pahrump, he taught us a few things about our Smart TV
which Gordon got last week….a 65 inch curve….oh yeah it’s awesome.
With the purchase of a park model we
will be part time travelers instead of full time travelers. We will not stop
traveling we will be selling our Country Coach and maybe downsizing or
traveling by car or air…
We are taking a cruise for our birthdays in January.
