TYING UP LOOSE ENDS; Ocean Park-WA

Since we came back to WA State, Holland has been tending to things that need to be done with Betsy, & Independence, before we hit the road again. He only has a few more loose ends to tie up 👌

I have a few loose ends to tend to, too; and they are getting done 😊

Drinking my morning joy juice, and musing over morning contemplations (FOCUS ON THE BLESSEDNESS: (https://roadgypsiesvalandholland.blogspot.com/2025/07/focus-on-blessedness-ocean-park-wa.html); I saw that my Sloppy Joes Recipe was featured on Paula's Sweet Tea & Friends Linkup …

… and I posted a FB prayer petition.

I don't need to replace my glasses this year, praise the Lord 👏 … but I do need to have a tooth taken care of; and I started that process this afternoon 👍

I would normally go to the dentist I have been seeing for the past 3 decades - but, Kelso is a good 2 hours away: and Seaview is mere minutes down the peninsula highway. So, I chose to visit a new dentist 🤞, this afternoon.

An interesting lounge décor piece at the dentist Office, this afternoon.

Willapa Dental is listed online at #205 12th St S, Long Beach, WA - but it's actually closer to Seaview than Long Beach.

My friends covered me in prayers 🙏

The dentist & his staff are very friendly 🤝😊

I got relatively good news concerning the tooth that concerns me: it does need attention, but there is a good chance it can be satisfactorily salvaged 😁 without a pricey cap that will eventually fall off … and without months of in-&-out office visits 👏

I have a scheduled appointment on the 22nd, to get that loose end tied up.

Exiting the dental building, and climbing into Betsy, Holland pointed across the street and said, "Look at that interesting VW Camper: I've never seen anything like it, before." We both thought it was pretty cool, as well as interesting; so, we got closer to it for a picture - and I researched it online when we got home 🧐💻

Holland spotted this interesting VW Van Camper; he thought the winged decals may have been stickers. Seaview-WA

What I learned while tying up that loose end, was interesting:

This very interesting thing was featured on-line: on Redditt. This 1976 VW Jurgens Autovilla, was made in South Africa & imported to America in 1978 - it is believed to be the only 1 of it's kind in the USA. And here it is, in Seaview-WA where we got a first hand look at the only 1-of-a-kind traveling around America. WOW

Then, I thanked my friends who had prayed me through my dental visit (I really hate dental visits, but I'm learning to relax while in the torture chair - prayer definitely helps) ❤️🙏😘

And I wrapped up the evening by relaxing while watching a black & white noir movie - and continuing my knitting project: I should have it completed in a few days.

My knitting WIP project is getting so long, it wanted to drag the floor; so I placed the edge in a large Lawn Bag to keep it clean & corralled.

Slowly but surely, things are getting done ✅ and loose ends are being tied up.
