Kerrville to Lorado

Mariachi players on the roof.Fire trucks ready for anything; we didn't see smoke or flame.Today is a good day to drive! Tree lined street; the live oaks must be sick; they all seem to be dieting. Just to let you know where we are.Water is running pretty good.Black vultures enjoying a little roadkill deer.Bandera is a great town to explore.It is the Cowboy Capital of the World.Tall boots anyone?!We stopped by the Media River to feed the ducks.They liked all the cookie crumbs.The water was so greenthat it looked like glacier water.Great roads!We stopped at the overlook here at the Edwards Plateau.Now down we go.This would make a great….something; it was the old feed store.We found a school bus sale yard.It is always good to see them keeping the roads in good condition.TRAIN!We made it to Larado; this is the bridge above leading to Mexico.We are now turning east on route 83 and traffic to Mexico is thick.Check out the rates.Every building, even homes have bars over all entrances down here.Rails above and road below. Traffic on 83 has thinned out.

Houston Fest Galax, VA

We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose mission is to hon

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Hospital Stay to Camping Out

Update: morning started early with vitals checked every four hours, bloodwork ( interesting side note: you are given an IV port in the emergency room, but that port is not used to retrieve blood for any of the various tests once you are admitted. Instead someone comes and draws blood through a new prick hole each time. ).    I started taking a new pill, Imdur, that helps keep the arteries open. It gave me a terrible headache so I won’t be taking that again!    Went for a CT angio of the chest. Then I waited       It is now 3:00 and they are going to discharge me!!    Yippie. That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I remember doing in days gone by, but we are just ma
