Off to Kerrville, TX

Tuesday, November 1, 2016

I am healing well from my fall though I do still have to wear a cervical collar full time for at least two more weeks.  I hope that is all since I feel like I am in a straight jacket.   Will see the spinal surgeon on Nov. 18 to learn my fate.  No surgery necessary, just healing. 

I had my nose repaired in a closed nasal reduction procedure in mid October that set the bones straight with a splint up the nostril (gross) as well as packing.  Both have been removed and I have seen the plastic surgeon on this with the result that all packing is nowgone but there is still a bit of swelling that will continue for a while yet.  No further visits to the doc required.  

We have left the Kyle, TX area where my daughter lives after spending a month not doing much other than recovering from my fall and visiting with the family, attending a football game where our granddaughter, Kaylee played in the marching band, a regional marching band competition in which Kaylee’s school participated but unfortunately did not make the finals and a mid school band concert involving our grandson, Garrett who plays percussion instruments.  Fun to watch the kids play.  They have grown up so much.   We also spent some time looking at housing in the area as this may be where we will eventually buy another sticks and brick house when we are ready to either hang up the keys to the RV or travel less.  Our visit to the south of Texas to explore more of the state will have to wait for another year. 

Today we arrived in Kerrville at the Buckhorn RV Resort where we will spend the month of November.  We elected to stay in the Executive Area which is farther from I-10 and all adults.  You also park facing the river rather than backing in so you have a nice view out the front.  As you will see by the picture of the RV below, we have a large site and patio area with a table and chairs.  Looking forward to using this if the rain clears up this next week.  Hope to get acquainted with some other RVillage people while here as there are quite a few here at present.  Below are pictures of our campsite here at Buckhorn.  What a lovely place.

Notice the fancy Prevost next to us.  Pretty classy.

 We really like this area and will do some town exploring and hopefully will have some interesting pictures and places we have visited to share with our readers.  Stay tuned for the continuation of the Ballard Adventures.
