Thursday

It was raining for 24 hours straight, all through Tuesday night and even a little into today. We had planned to move our campsite from East Forks Forest to the KOA in Eureka. Well, here I am in Motel 6 in Eureka writing this quip, We woke up early today and packed all our sopping wet items into Spencer's car and shove ourselves in around it all afterwards. We took twists and turns through the mountains for about two hours ( I always get carsick when the windows are up on roads like that and it was still raining) only to reach KOA and be told we couldn't check in until 2;00 pm. So we decided to head to the redwoods where there is a sweet little park nestled between hundreds of beautiful, massive trees. We chilled there for about 3 hours then headed into town and got chicken sandwiches at Carl's Jr's . We then headed to the beach where we walked along the shore for a long time. The sand here is so soft, and the periwinkles are the size of my fist !!! We saw a beached sea lion who had the numbers 893 burned in letters longer than my arm which made me cringe when I stood there looking at it with all the boys. They talked about it for a while kind of amazed and I wandered into the dunes and picked a lovely bouquet of flowers which I placed inside this huge seashell I found earlier along the shore. I walked over to the sea lion silently apologized for the way humanity had treated the world he lived in and laid the shell near him. On the way back to the KOA we passed some cows that had big brands AH burned into their butts, It made me feel bad. The lady at KOA wouldn't let us pay with cash even though we had done so before. So I called my mom and she payed for a motel room for us. I am so grateful for my family. I love my momma !! Also my dad sent me money a couple days ago to hold us over till I start work on Saturday, Thanks dad ! Love you. So far I have bought a lot of yummy food. Sunday night I made stuffed bell peppers. I first made the rice, beans, tomatoes, and onions. Second, I gutted the peppers and set their tops aside. I stuffed the rice and vegetables in the peppers with a huge glob of ricotta cheese in the middle. I then placed the tops back on them, wrapped them in aluminum foil, and through them in the fire ! They were absolutely delicious! The next day I made potatoes, onion, and tomatoes for breakfast. Everyone loved it ! We ate Mac N Cheese with fried tomato pita bread for lunch and Pita Pizza's for dinner ! The next day the old man in charge of watching over the campground stopped us on our way to the store for that nights dinner, he gave me a huge bag of apples. The apples were organic right off someones tree right down the road from the campgrounds, they were ugly as hell but damn were they sweet ! Yummy! I made sweet ginger chicken and sweet honey veggies with fried apple panini's ! It was so good ! That was Tuesday night; it started pouring after dinner and didn't stop until about 1;00 pm Thursday. Wednesday I chopped up the remaining apples and Veggie's. We dipped the apples in peanut butter and used the left over sweet sauce for the vegetables. On Wednesday we sat in the tent all day and played cards. We played cards for such a long time I dreamt of them that night when I fell asleep in our sopping wet tent. It rained so hard the tent started leaking a bit. Some of our stuff got wet but that's okay we are now having laundry done and we all are taking showers then snuggling into a bed (for the first time in a week)  tonight. Yay! I am super excited for the upcoming week ! I will be working and living on a farm in the mountains. I will have no service but I am told there is Wifi inside the main house so I will work on getting some use of that to write this blog. 

Love and Light to all.
