Our lives have changed so much since January 7th, 2023 ... New Marriage/New Life: the blending of two into one, gets dicey at times - daily life on the road adds more dicey complications. This is our story of our life in our 5th wheel RV Home. I post about anything & everything, and if what I post can help someone else, I'm glad for the experience. But from sunrise to sunset, we live our Life for US.

TAKING A BITE OUT OF CRIME~Alligator Alcatraz, FL
SUNDAY DRIVE EXPLORATION~Black Lake, Ilwaco-WA
Last night Holland suggested a Sunday drive … and this morning, David called to say he was in Naselle-WA & on his way to his beach place, in Long Beach-WA.
So - we enjoyed a nice Sunday drive, did a little exploration, and spent time with a friend before coming back home to Ocean Park-WA.
First off, we had wanted to spend some time watching waves in Seaview; but the ocean wind was blowing briskly across the beach, kicking dusty sandy grit into the atmosphere … and causing creepy appearances on the beach that looked like ghostly fingers inching forward. It was weirdly unsettling as I watched the shifting sand out the passenger window: I was glad when Holland turned around & got us out of there.
Oddities & Curiosities … between Long Beach & Seaview-WA
Then, we drove into Ilwaco, and made a loop around the marina:
On the way back to Ocean Park, I pointed out what looked like a small fishing Park across the Black Lake water; and asked Holland if we could try to find a way to get there. We tried 2 side roads, but they dead-ended … so, when I saw a guy dinking around with his car, I said, "Let's pull over there, and I'll ask if he knows what that place is … and how we could get there." So, that's what we did.
He did know - and we followed his directions down Sandridge Road, to get there.
After that little exploration, we drove to David's place; we enjoyed a lengthy chatty visit … and came home with canned fish & canned clams 😊: these we tucked away for our upcoming Road Gypsy forays.
And I made up a couple bacon & cheese Breakfast Burrito's to put in the freezer for satisfying and healthy quick grabs 👌
Today was a fun 😊 & busy 😉 Day.
I have been blessed abundantly ❤️

STILL VALID~June 21, 1788 Forward
STILL "worth the read" …
America's downfall started on the 1950's, rose to overthrow tactics in the 1960's … and was firmly set in place by 2009 with the obama coups that continued with biden and harris, where the overthrow is pretty much completed.
Chinatowns - cities within cities, across America; should not exist in America.
dearborn, the muslim enclave in Michigan, should not even exist in America. And now … obama's muslims are establishing another foothold in Texas.
mehico has completely taken over california … and is quickly taking over the lower States of southren America (I am specifically talking about the USA, not countries south of mehico). IN california, ILLEGALS are running the government offices, as well as civil offices. And they are hiding out on American Indian Reservations since the 1970's.
And we have foreign terrorist sympathizers sitting in our Congress … obama managed to make it all the way to the White House just by flashing the Race Card and running on sexual perversion! He was not qualified. He is NOT an American Citizen (despite where he he has lived & despite his mother's citizenship: he IS a kenyan prince). NO FORIEGN DIGNITARIES should govern America - THAT is IN our American Constitution, which obama tried to a abolish during al THREE of his black brotherhood coup reigns of terror.
Chinatowns, muslim enclaves, and FOREIGN (this includes mechico) governments SHOULD NOT BE FUNCTIONING IN America 🤬
ALL of this ANTI-American activity, is blatant treason by AMERICAN governing officials to allow such a thing that is clearly SPOKEN AGAINST IN OUR CONSTITUTION.

SOBERING: WORTH THE READ
Saturday, June 29, 2019: Wherever you stand, please take the time to read this; it ought to scare the beejeebers out of you!
We know Dick Lamm as Governor of Colorado .. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many of America's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the name of Victor Davis Hanson talked about his latest book, 'Mexifornia,' explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the entire state of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America.
The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States. He said, 'If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.''
'Here is how they do it,' Lamm said: 'First, to destroy America, turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country ... History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: 'The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.' Canada , Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy , if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, Corsicans and Muslims.'
Lamm went on: 'Second, to destroy America, invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences. Make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.
'Third, we could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricy and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.' Lamm said, 'I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities.'
'Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school.
'My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology ...' I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority.'
'My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precept. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshiped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia, threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. 'E. Pluribus Unum' -- From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will 'Balkanize' America as surely as Kosovo.'
'Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits. Make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-cultum, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America , it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them.'
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. Finally he said, 'Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hanson's book 'Mexifornia.' His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book.'
There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America Take note of California and other states. To date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book '1984..' In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: 'War is peace,' 'Freedom is slavery,' and 'Ignorance is strength.'
Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.
If you care for and love our country as I do, take the time to pass this on just as I did for you.
VAL'S HUNGRY JACK BREAKFAST BURRITOS Recipe; Ocean Park-WA

VAL'S FANCY BLT SANDWICH; Ocean Park-WA
My husband loves his bacon - he can eat it morning, noon & night 😉
So, for Supper tonight, I made him a man-size BLT: a little different than what he's used to 😘
I precook my bacon, keeping some in the 'fridge for snacking - and freezing the rest in 2-piece portions, wrapped in wax paper & stored in a freezer Ziploc in the freezer for morning quick bites.
Last night when I cooked the bacon, I kept out enough for today's sandwiched in the 'fridge, last night; and it did just fine reheated for tonight's Supper fare 😊
This sandwich is a meal by itself; but I did add some Bread & Butter pickles alongside.
#Note: Read the recipe all the way through before beginning the making of sandwiches.
VAL'S FANCY BLT SANDWICH ~serves 2
10 slices Bacon, precooked & cut in half * 1 med. White Onion * 3 lrg. Iceberg Lettuce leaves, sliced * 2 med. Tomatoes, sliced thin * 1-1/2 in. chunk block Cheddar Cheese, shredded * Mayonnaise (to preference) * Dijon Mustard (to preference) * 1 tsp. grnd. Black Pepper * 2 tsp. Paprika * 8 slices Lrg. Homestyle Bread * Butter-flavor Cooking Spray * Lrg. Skillet w-lid
1) Prepare your sandwich ingredients to keep the process flowing smoothly while making the sandwiches …
2) Blend together the mayo, mustard, and 1 tsp. of the Paprika:
3) In a large skillet, sauté the onions over med-low heat until tender; sprinkle with the pepper & remaining paprika - gently stir to blend thoroughly.
Reduce heat to low:
4) Add bacon - cover skillet with lid, and continue cooking until bacon is heated all the way through:
5) As the bacon warms & onions deliciously soften; lay the bread slices out on the counter, spreading with the mayo-mustard blend … or either mayo or mustard (whatever you and your spouse prefer: I like the mix, Holland likes just mustard).
When the bacon is completely heated through, begin building the sandwich, as listed below the picture featured here (if you are building a triple decker sandwich for your husband, spread both sides of the center bread slice, and begin the bacon-onion layer as with the previous slice of bread) - spread last slice of bread and place it atop the bacon-onion mix:
6) Slice at an angle, and enjoy! 😊
