Sea Ranch Homecoming

February 2, 2016 by Donna Martinez Leave a Comment

A Sea Ranch homecoming at Abalone Bay  is the perfect way to celebrate our return to the U.S.A from Chile.

It’s been 7 years since my husband’s work as a civil engineer took us to  Chile. We’ve had many exciting adventures there.

In fact, Chile has been a super home for our entire family.

Our daughter and her husband, also lived and worked there. Just last year they blessed us with the birth of our twin grand babies in Chile!

Twin grandchildren are a great memento to recall our life in Chile.They too have moved back to the USA. And now they’ll be running around enjoying all that Sea Ranch’s natural environment offers. Whether it is capturing wacky tree frogs or exploring tide pools, we can’t wait to enjoy it with them.

With our Chilean assignment completed we are thrilled to celebrate our  homecoming at Sea Ranch Abalone Bay. What’s even more exciting is to learn that Sea Ranch has a connection with Chile and one of good friends!

Chile California Council certainly knew what they were doing by gathering here in Northern California, especiallySonoma County.

We’ll be staying here awaiting our next assignment. Who knows where  in the world it could be!

To celebrate our Sea Ranch homecoming, we’ve been singing right along with Chuck Berry’s Back in the U.S.A.

However we sing a slightly different lyric:

Oh well, oh well, I feel so good today,
We touched ground on an international runway
Jet propelled back home, from over the seas to the U. S. A.

Atlanta, Dallas, – oh, how I yearned for you
Frisco, Bodedga, Jenner, Fort Ross too
Let alone just to be back at home enjoying The Sea Ranch view

Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeway?
From the coast of California to the shores of Abalone Bay
You can bet your life I did,
Till I got back in the U. S. A.

Of course we stopped in at Mill Valley’s  In-N-Out Burger upon landing in the Bay Area!

Looking hard for a drive-in, searching for a corner café
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and a juke-box jumping with records like in the USA

Well I’m going back
I’m livin’ in the USA.
Yes I’m going back
I’m livin’ in the USA
Anything you want
They got it right here in the USA!
