Terry here!
Our winter in south Texas is coming to
an end. We leave Sunday for Indiana, with Dale's mom traveling with
us. I haven't determined our route yet as we are keeping an eye on
the weather north of us. If our regular route looks iffy, we'll head
east along the gulf before heading north. Our destination is the
Indianapolis East KOA, west of Greenfield IN. Dale has pre-surgery
appointments on March 20th before back surgery on the 24th
@ St. Vincent's Hospital on the north side of Indy. We plan to be at
the KOA for at least month or possibly two, post-surgery.
This winter season has been great,
we've spent much the time with Dale's mom, Alice, having her over for
meals, attending street dinners, taking in the sun and shopping. The weather has been
great most of the time with temps from the mid 70's to a high a
couple of weeks ago of 96. We have had little rain, with most days
starting cloudy and breaking into bright sun by 10AM, great for our
morning 2.5 mile walks.
February saw a two week visit by good
friends Jim & Luanne Cripe of Syracuse IN, Luanne was matron of
honor in our wedding 45+ years ago. We try to get together several
times each summer. Luanne retired from nursing in January, with Jim
retiring from the parks department in July so they were getting their
feet wet in the world of “slow motion” after the working life.
We saw full timing friends Dave and
Sandy Gibson twice over the season. They were in the area for doctors
appointments on concerns of Sandy's continued back problems. Nice to
see them again after a few years.
We've started putting stuff away and
getting ready to close up the two properties, since the weather
forecast was rain Tuesday through Saturday. So far very little has
fallen Tuesday and today, which is fine, won't be any rushing to get
it all done.
Until next time?
