so there ya have it, another job down the tube, lol;) Just to catch anyone up, that cares to know, I am moving in with my sis. She lives in Coos Bay, and has always told me I don't need to ever go back to a shelter, so she is good to her word:) I get a lovely room in a nice, big modular on the coast. Also, there should be pet-house/sitting right in the park she lives in. I imagine there are plenty of snowbirds that like to go but don't want to leave their houses empty, and watched over.

I loaded a lot yesterday, very slowly, plus I packed in little boxes so I wouldn't be tempted to carry too much at once;) The best part of packing, and walking up a flight of stairs many, many times, is the exercise, LOL! I feel out of shape, and it's good to get my strength back. I'll stay in touch, more so when I am settled in over there;) denise
 

It is good to be going to my sister's but it's very hard after all I've put into the roots I have here. I've been back here since 2010, and so wanted to make a go of it. Thank god for my sis because if it weren't for her, I'd be headed to a shelter.

thanks Ina
 

From what you`ve said about your sis,I think this will be a really good option for you-and yes,living in a community like that could really give you opportunities for house/pet sitting jobs. Wishing you the best on your new journey!
 
Just was yackin with my sis. We have a plan now, this is just until December, when my birthday is, and she isn't worried about how long I stay, but we both know we prefer our own place;) My sister is the most generous person I know, I am blessed, as she has little to get by on herself but we are pooling our resources;) Thank Mrs. R. and thank you too RR, always love seeing your avatar;) The more I think on the bright-side as Ina reminded me, the more I see all that is opening up to me, just a new start, and I can do it again:) denise PS sure blessed to have this forum. Get pissed sometimes but I am very attached to it;) Well, attached to all of you;)
 
Denise, I am so glad you have a sister to stay with until December.
Keep in touch with the forum and everyone here. I hope you will be able to take some
pictures to share with us. I always love to see the interesting things you photograph and
post for us. Best of luck to you.
 
I will for sure Raven, there is so much up and down our coast, but I won't be traveling much. Luckily, there is plenty just around the area;) I still love macro photography, so if nothing else, those tiny things you can miss so easily, are there if I just look;)

By the way,I meant to mention that I didn`t realize exactly where you live.Stalked your Facebook lol. My sisters used to have a winery in Roseburg-right on the highway between Roseburg and Winston. It was called La Garza-it`s still there but they sold it some years ago and it`s been renamed. And a very close friend left California around 1990 and,starting from scratch,developed an RV Park in Winston,right on the highway. It`s still there as well,but she divorced her husband several years ago and gave it to him. She lives in Roseburg now. But her kids went to Douglas High School-sound familiar lol?
 
Sure:) I grew up here, most of my childhood, graduated from Douglas:) There is a nice, RV park on the way between Winston and Myrtle Creek. That's probably the one, although I am sure there are others I'm not yet familiar with:) There are so many wineries up here, and they seem to be doing very well;)

Denise
 
NO, LOL! But thanks for the try;) Yes, December could be the start of a new life, a regular income, plus what I can supplement with house-sitting or any other job I can do:)

thanks again Ina;)
 
I`m pretty sure my sisters` winery was the first one up there-they bought it over 20 years ago and I remember it being the only one around when we went there back in the early 90s. We had very few vineyards here where I live at the time too-now they have pulled up all the pear and walnut orchards here (for which we have been known for many,many years) and put in all grapes. It`s crazy how this year alone,there have been acres and acres and acres of them put in-and we are in the midst of a horrific drought. Don`t know how they are getting away with it-money talks,I suppose. That probably is my friend`s RV park you`re talking about-it`s on the left hand side when you`re heading West?
 
Everything happens for a reason, hon - even though we might never find out what that reason is. It's great that you have family there - it's the ultimate back-stop.

Coos Bay ... I've been watching a series of YouTube videos called "Redneck Restorations", where this self-professed hillbilly restores old trucks. He mentioned the other day "going all the way to Coos Bay" to pick up a new project truck, so if you ever need a 1954 Ford pickup truck to get to your jobs, give him a call. ;)
 
Ah thanks Pappy:) The more I am letting go of the idea of being able to stay here, for now at least, the better I am feeling, kind of like a new adventure;) hugs, denise;)
 
Glad you're sister is there for you when you need her, kudos to her and best wishes for you...maybe things will look up for you next year! :)

We do have a lot of classic cars here, and restored, most I see. Lots of "cruise ins" to got too;) I'll have to google that guy;) he sounds really cool! Thanks for your input about my move Phil. It is good to have my sis. I'd love to be working enough jobs that I won't have to draw my SS til later, but we'll see:) I guess no one knows anything for sure about the future. We make our plans, and than fate or destiny give us what we actually have for a future;) denise

I think they will, at the very least, I will have an actual income, regular. I am hoping, like I mentioned to Phil, that I can get enough work to not have to draw it yet, but it's there, thank god;) Yes, my sister is a trooper, and has always been there for me. I hope I will always be for her as well;)
 
I've just tuned in and I'm so glad that you have your sister. I love mine to death even though we are far apart geographically. As Phil said, everything happens for a reason and perhaps the reason is that your sister needs you too. If not now, then later. I wish both of you happy days.
