Wow, it’s been quite some time since I’ve updated this blog — over a month, in fact, ever since we got back to Saint Joseph. Do I need to say that we’ve been pretty busy? The majority of that busy-ness has been, and continues to be, getting the house ready to put on the market. [...]
We are finally on the way back to Missouri, only two months later than originally intended. This entire year has been a study in flexibility and unintended consequences. But one broken ankle and one land acquisition later, we are headed home. Or at least, we’re heading for our Missouri house, to get it ready to [...]
Wow, I just realized my last post was written just before the flash flood that innundated the Guadalupe River basin below the dam, as the rain was coming down! It was pretty awful, although not as many people were lost here as there were the following week in Arkansas. One man drowned, but that’s one [...]
We are still in New Braunfels. My ankle is healing nicely, but next week I have another visit to the surgeon, then we have to decide whether to head straight home to St. Joseph or stay down here, perhaps out at the lake, for another week or so. We are leaning toward staying. A lot [...]
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 [...]
OK! We finally got all the paperwork straigtened out and new tags on the RV, so we’re on the way south at last. It’s really frustrating to sit around two weeks after getting into the RV, burning through our travel budget while we’re still in town, all because of some bureaucratic screw-up, but that’s what [...]
Yep, we’re still in St. Joe. It’s a long story, but to avoid tedium I’ll just mention the high (low) spots. When we took the RV out of storage, we noticed that the tag had expired, so we stayed over till Monday (which was a good idea anyway since I wasn’t finished cleaning out the [...]
Oops, ignore that map I posted the other day. Plans have changed. Instead, we will be taking the eastern route this year: With possible spontaneous variations, the dates and destinations are now posted on our travel calendar. We had thought about leaving earlier, but between grad school demands, doctor appointments and just plain not being [...]
This will be a very short post, since I’m just snatching a few moments away from studying, but I wanted to update our Fall travel plans here. We hope to get started on our snowbird migration by November 1st or so. This is our proposed route:
This weekend we got the RV out of storage and headed off on a short trip to Columbia, Missouri, home of the Univ. of Missouri’s School of Journalism. One of the required courses for my Master’s program is to attend a one-hour, weekend-long seminar on campus, and this was the time I chose to do [...]
