I have to say, I LOVE Santee, CA.  Love being super close to San Diego and the Ocean.  Such a great place!  Meghan and Ryan are loving going to the park daily, lots of kids to play with.  Since my last post in January we have been blessed with having family visit us!  We have seen Kim (Clive's sister) and her wife Jennifer Dawkins.  They enjoyed the break from the horrible weather on the East Coast.  It was wonderful getting caught up with them~long overdue:-)  As well my Aunt Debbie and Uncle Andy left Ontario just after Christmas and we had a week here with them too!!!  They have their own trailer and after our visit they headed off to Huntington Beach for a few weeks.  My Mom has been down as well since the middle of January!!!!  It has been great to have her here.  Then Aunt Debbie and Uncle Andy came back to Santee for a week.  My Mom got to spend time with her sister and we got to spend more time with them again too!!!!
So we basically spent a month in Santee then had to leave for a few days in which we went to Lake Elsinore.  That was an experience let me tell you!  We arrived on the Thursday.  That afternoon Clive and I needed to run to Target quickly.  Mom stayed at the camp with the kids.  Clive and I witnessed a horrible car accident!  We were the 3rd car behind.  A car hit a large rig/truck and she went under the transport and literally blew its back axel off in its entirety!  I watched the truck jackknife in the air and land.  It was a family of 5 in the car.  Mom and Dad were hurt.  3 kids in the back.  The youngest thankfully was in a car seat.  The 2 older ones did NOT have their seat belts on but thankfully were not hurt bad!  Horrible thing to happen:(  Then 4 days later when we were to leave, Clive was walking Calvin and Hobbes.  A pit bull that was on a leash broke the leash and attacked a woman's little dog then attacked the woman!  A worker tried to help and as well he was bitten.  Was happy to see the back end of that place.  We returned to Santee and are SO happy!  I also recently got to spend a few hours with Elissa who was at a Nursing Conference.  Elissa is a former co worker from OHSU.  Was great to get caught up with her and share some laughs!
The days are flying by!  Meghan is doing some school work daily.  I haven't done much with Ryan yet.  Still trying to get myself in a grove.

January 27th 2014!

Wow, time is flying and as I have said previously, I'm lousy at this!  Blogging isn't my thing for sure.  Since I last posted in mid December, we spent a wonderful Christmas with Shaun and Jennifer Dawkins in Bakersfield.  Meghan and Ryan were spoiled for sure and we had a wonderful meal!  Clive got to get out on a motorcycle with his brother and loved it:)  We stated to head out on December 26th for Santee, CA...but we had some issues.  The coolant hose was cut into by the frame of the RV.  We made it only to Tehachapi, CA.  So needless to say, after hours of talking to Newmar etc, we had a tow back to Bakersfield:(  The RV spent some time at Freightliner while we stayed at a hotel.  3 days later we were on the road to Santee.  Still some issues we are trying to get resolved....like our Microwave oven that kicks on for 1 minute intervals spontaneously and a pocket door that is warped.  All in all though, we seriously LOVE our small mobile home!!!
