Lovin’ retirement, but haven’t found time to keep up my blog. So I am going to sum up some of our adventures and happenings from 2018 and 2019 and hopefully will stay in touch better this year. In May/June of 2018, my husband and I packed up our doggie Izzi and took our RV for a three week long trip to the Grand Canyon, side trip to visit a friend in Chandler, AZ, then to Bryce Canyon and then on to Boise to visit my two sisters. It was such a nice trip and the views we experienced along the way were breathtaking.
Last year was a bit more calm, as I ended up having troubles with my right knee that prevented me from doing a lot of traveling, etc. It turned out that I needed to get a full knee replacement. Due to several complications with scheduling the surgery, I had to deal with my knee until I could finally get my surgery this January. At one point last year, my husband and I decided we HAD to go on at least one camping trip, so we found a site in Lincoln City that was available in August and we had a great time just being outdoors and enjoying a nice break. Izzi loves the beach like us so it was nice to give her some extra fun too.
I’m five weeks out now from my surgery, feeling good, and for Valentines Day my husband Steve gave me a trip to the beach, this time in Depoe Bay for two nights. The weather was absolutely gorgeous all the days we were there, what a treat!!
For my birthday last year, my sweet kids gave me contributions to a trip to Switzerland!!!! All my life I have dreamed of going to Switzerland where my paternal grandparents were from. We hopefully are planning on going this year in late summer, so I will keep you posted.
Here are some photos from our Grand Canyon and points beyond from 2018 and some favorites from 2019 and my Valentine beach trip this week.
