Have You Heard?

 Some of you already know because I've told some folks when I've sent  them a card.  But, we're going to Florida the end of October.  It's a done deal.

Over the Labor Day Holiday Sonsearae and Chris drove over to visit and help make plans.  They want us in Tallahassee as does Christy, Jim's daughter.  Pretty sure Rik wants us there too!  He's Christy's husband.  Sure hope so as we're going to be their neighbors.  Our plans were to drive over in October or November taking our time because...well, we're old!  Neither one of us wanted to actually do the drive and all the work that is necessary to pull our home on wheels.  Physical work of packing up and breaking down for each stop just not appeal to me anymore and I guess Jim agrees.  

So we've hired a company to drive our rig over.  This will be stressful because it's our home!  But they do this a lot so we'll just have to trust our rig can handle a new driver.  We will follow and stay at motels.  Not sure how long the trip will take but I'm sure we'll get sick of sleeping in a different bed and eating fast food.  With Boo along it should be a long trip emotionally.  We'll take a cooler with stuff.  

So we're working on eating everything from the fridge and freezer as it will be unplugged the trip over.  Sonsearae has keys and will take delivery so I hope between her, Christy and Rik they get it plugged in so it will be cold when we arrive.  If not we'll deal with it when we get there.  The exact date of departure hasn't been determined, but the last week of October is when all of this will take place.

Yesterday we had a fun outing.  Jim took me to World Market which is on the other side of town, so to speak.  It's over by the La Cantera Mall.  The Mall is an outdoor one so we hadn't been in awhile, to hot during the summer and then there was the covid thing...

Didn't buy anything but it was fun walking through the store and seeing all the kitchen ware and exotic items for sale.  Afterwards we had lunch at Whiskey Cake.  Had never eaten there and they have a pretty neat menu.  Of course we each had a draft beer.

               My goal again this year is to make 500 cards.

This time of year is for Autumn cards.  

All is right in our world

did I tell you we're going to Florida?

Yay

Same old stuff

 

How the heck are ya?  We're good and pretty much the same as last week and the week before...no, that's not true.  Pretty sure I passed a small gallstone a few days ago.  Same symptoms as before just not the excruciating pain.  I did bring it upon myself.  I've been eating more and more fatty type foods...Testing myself?  no self control?  who knows....

But I am watching myself now.  We'll see how long that lasts!

This picture is but one of the beds being spruced up here at Spring Branch RV Park.  When you come in the main entrance to the park (there are three) this is what will greet you on the right.  Liz, one of our campers has been doing a lot of hard work in keeping the beds weeded, spiffed up and making fresh.  Matter of fact there are a lot of improvements happening here.

 

This driftwood (is it still driftwood if found in a dry climate?) is to the left of the bed above.

A New Month, I wonder what's in store?

            Here we are into another month of self isolation.  Though we are venturing out more it isn't a whole lot of fun just sitting here day after day.  I suppose Covid has turned us into elderly people faster.  We just sit and now I know why older folks are so frail.  Day after day we just sit and deteriorate.  Then, when we do something that requires movement we tire and it takes a day or two to recover....so we just sit and avoid strenuous projects.

I did a foolish thing, I ate some fat laden foods that did me in.  I don't think I passed a gallstone but I sure had some discomfort that reminded me I have to watch my diet.  I spent yesterday just trying to be comfortable.  This too shall pass.  I sure don't like getting up at zero dark thirty in pain.  And no matter what, I always seem to be hungry and that's another pain to add to the list.  

Jim putzed around outside yesterday working on a weather station and general tidying up.  Meanwhile I slept and lounged.  He also did the dishes.  Lunch was fried rice from a box...Still to hot to plan meals and prepare them.

                  My goal again this year is to make 500 cards.

Using up supplies, these are very simple cards all Stampim' Up! supplies

I like the way these two cards turned out.  Maybe it's the green (my favorite color).  You can barely tell but the white panel on both have been dry embossed.  All Stampin' Up! products
