CAMPING AT FLORENCE

We just returned yesterday. We spent five nights in Florence. We spent four of those nights camped at the Hecta Head KOA campground. It was a quick ten minute walk to the beach, then we walked on the beach for hours so lots of walking, it felt great!
We left Tuesday morning our excitement rushing out the door with us. As it is only a hour drive at most we certainly do not need to hurry. The first night we spent in the Three Rivers Casino parking area for RV's. It was a sunny day so we sat up our chairs and enjoyed watching folks come and go.
Late in the afternoon we went into the casino for about an hour and returned to trailer no richer, but did not spend much. We are so tight when it comes to gambling, hate to spend a cent. No wonder we do not win! We gamble a small amount about once a year. We used to really enjoy it but we have changed I guess or it could be it seems that one does not win like in days past. Regardless we look at it as entertainment and nothing more.
Back at the trailer we had a dinner of grilled cheese sammies dunked into tomato soup.

The next morning we off to the KOA. Our days there were so nice the campground itself has private spots we like that. We walked to the beach everyday but one as that day it was gray and cloudy with wind unlike the other sunny mild and windless days. What a treat to be on the beach with no wind,the sun in your face or on your back. We took a lunch or snack with us and our drinks. In the evening we gathered around the campfire.
In Zo's trailer kitchen I prepared simple but yummy meals. We had juicy meaty ribeye steaks grilled to perfection on our Smokey joe with a green artichoke salad with italian dressing. The steaks were large so they filled sourdough bread the following day for steak sandwiches at the beach.

Now the reality of cleaning the trailer and doing a mound of sandy laundry. I needed to grocery shop this morning so I have just returned and the washer is sloshing away. So my day today is one of cleaning and laundry.
At this moment I am hungry so must fix a little something to nibble on.
Tonight in our kitchen I making terrakyi chicken in rice bowls with red pepper, broccoli and leeks. I have made this before it is a good tasty asian dish.

So off I go to fold a load of clothes.
See you tomorrow.
