Moving On

Sunday, September 24, 2017

Our month in Albuquerque is up and tomorrow morning we leave here for Kerrville, TX where we will spend the next three months.  Hopefully, I can send out more blogs about our time there and some of the things we will be doing.    

Ron and I both got a good bill of health from our doctors here though Ron has a continuing dental issue that will be resolved when we return in April of next year.  We plan to continue our lifestyle of traveling in the RV and doing all the right things to keep us in good condition and enjoying life. 

We enjoyed our visits with family and friends as always.  Everyone we visited is also in good health and we enjoyed catching up on all their news and exchanging information about our travels.  We returned to Albuquerque in time to participate in a surprise 80th birthday party for my former husband.   My son Bill was here from Virginia for the event and spent part of the week with us as well.  It was great to see him since it has been 2 years since we were back in Virginia and will be another two before we are there again.  Wish his wife and girls could have been here as well.  Daughter Laurie could not attend as she was tied up with setting up an Emergency Operation Center in San Marcos, TX due to the hurricane and flooding in Houston.  Fortunately, they did not have to open the doors as people were sent into downtown Austin.  We missed her being with us but will see her in the next week or two in Texas.

We also spent some time with Ron’s son Kent helping him clear out his Mother’s house since she passed away in August.  Sad time for him (an only child) having to deal with all the details of settling an estate.  We are happy he has his finance with him to share the load and for support since we are so far away most of the time.

We will be on the road to Kerrville for the next three days arriving there on Wednesday.  Looking forward to our time there again this year and to meeting up with another couple we met there last year as well as another couple who reside there in fall and winter that we met in Washington this summer.  Plan to do a few day trips to other communities we have not visited before as well as several trips over to daughter Laurie’s house to watch our grandchildren play in the high school marching band and for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.  Hard to believe both kids are in high school already.  Kaylee graduates in June and Garrett just started his freshman year.


Signing off for now.
