I don’t know if it’s a rainy night in Georgia (well, actually, afternoon), but it sure is here in Texas. From the looks of the weather map we might as well get used to it today. There is a flash flood watch for this general area, even though it isn’t raining hard here. The Texas [...]
A lot has been happening. Today, after spending a week at an RV park between Sattler and Canyon Lake (both unincorporated communities on the east and south sides of the lake respectively), we moved to a different RV park on the north side, closer to the land we’re buying, and with better phone and WiFi [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
I’m posting this from my iPhone. Yes, we have a mobile broadband modem & router, but we’ve used all our allowance for the month — a paltry 5 GigaBytes — and have unplugged it until the 20th, when the account is reset. Thank goodness for smartphones with unlimited data accounts! This is another reason for [...]
It finally happened. Phil bent over to pick something up in the kitchen (which has a very unforgiving ceramic tile floor), and his iPhone slipped out of his pocket. This was the result: He’s been almost as broken up over it as the phone’s screen itself. All is not lost, though. We were planning to [...]
Happy summertime, everyone. We’re still alive, if a bit wilted from all the heat. The temperatures and humidity have been fierce here for the past week or two, with heat indices over 100°F. Thank goodness for air conditioning, but I shudder to think what our electric bill will be this month. School is going reasonably [...]
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 [...]
Has it really been a month since I updated this blog? My apologies! It has been a busy time, but still… So, what we’ve been doing, besides moving from the RV to the house, includes good things and not so good ones. On the good side, my application to start working on an online Masters [...]
We left Albuquerque today, stopping for the night at the Flying J truckstop in Amarillo instead of an RV park. Not only is parking here free, but thanks to a card I got at The Rally last weekend, we can have a free breakfast in the morning, and what we paid for our supper tonight [...]
