Tomorrow I’ll finally get the cast off my leg! The surgery went well, and while the doc put in a whole bunch of hardware (six screws and a plate), I’ve been recovering and getting around better every day. Instead of the crutches, which were really hard to use, the clinic gave me a walker, but [...]
This is where I broke my ankle/leg. See the steps on the right side of that tree? I managed to fall off my shoe on one of the rough rocks, tried to regain my footing, and fell hard down a couple of steps, twisting my right ankle, breaking the fibula (small stabilizing bone in the [...]
It’s difficult to believe we have been in New Braunfels for over a week now. Time is flying by! Another three weeks and we will be heading home to St. Joseph. A day or two after arriving, we met my cousin, Wayne, who has lived here for 30 years, and really knows his way around [...]
It’s hard to believe, but our stay on the outskirts of Dallas is nearly over. We move down the interstate to New Braunfels this Saturday. If it weren’t for wanting to get the monthly rate down there, and our “deadline” of getting home to St. Joe by the first of May, I’d like to stay [...]
We arrived at our favorite rural Dallas stopping place (actually about an hour from downtown, east of Plano), and have been getting settled. We’ll be here for a couple of weeks, then will head south to spend a month in New Braunfels. The reservations for our site there finally came through today, so that’s definite. [...]
We’ve waved good-bye to Niceville and Rocky Bayou, and we are on the way to Slidell, Louisiana tonight. It was a pleasant three-week stay but now the weather is starting to get a little warmer and we’re developing itchy feet. While we were there I got some great pictures at Puddenhead Lake on the state [...]
Click here for images captured during the Ranger School jump last Wednesday. The page is pretty tacky, and I’m planning to redo it, but for now at least the pictures are available. I was in a hurry because we had to go to an internet café to post the files, due to running out of [...]
A rainy day in (not Georgia)… Waiting for the rain to turn into snow, as promised by the weatherman, buttoned up in the cozy motorhome, we are parked for the next two weeks in one of my favorite RV parks, Rocky Bayou State Park in Niceville, Florida. Phil is catching up on DVDs and email, [...]
We have survived the week, and that’s grounds for celebration. I wasn’t sure we would get this far without some kind of major breakdown. However, our first week of physical therapy was not as stressful as feared, and the first week of grad school also went better than expected. That’s not to say there were [...]
We only have a week left on our month at Beaudry RV in Tucson, and while we may stay in this area, we are not going to be at this RV park because of their terrible WiFi. (It’s a great place otherwise, but that’s a very important amenity for us, and having to pay for [...]
