What we're doing...
Wednesday, 10/3/2018 – Since our last update almost three weeks ago we have stayed quite busy. Unfortunately a lot of that time has been dealing with flood conditions all around us. Luckily, our park is finally showing signs of drying out and the forecast is finally looking like more seasonable and dry conditions. Many of our neighbors have received a lot of damage to their property while we have come close a few times but have been fortunate enough to escape any real damage. Our biggest concern is always our Texas Room that sits on ground level while the mobile is a couple of feet higher. We’ve come within an inch of receiving water on three occasions now but as I said, we’ve escaped any damage and only our yard and driveway have been flooded.
Even with the flooding going on, we’ve had plenty of other things to keep us busy. We’ve planned some improvements to the mobile and have been busy with that. We now have some new furniture for our living room and Texas Room as well as a new desk for the office. We’ve converted our guest room to a sewing room for Claudia and have ordered new carpeting for both the office and the sewing room. We are also planning to update our master bedroom and bathroom so we’ve been preparing for that. As I said, lots to keep us busy.
Stella is finally doing great after some necessary surgery. She had some lumps that were growing inside of her, one of them that was fairly large and needed to be removed before it started causing her real issues. She ended up with two major incisions on her side that they stapled and another on her neck that ended up in stiches. Those have all been removed now and she’s back to her old self. It was heartbreaking to watch her for the first couple of days after the surgery. We were having doubts about our decision to have the surgery performed but now we’re glad it’s done and behind us. By the way, the lumps were all benign so we were able to rule out cancer.
Next week we make our annual trip to San Antonio with the RV to drop it off for maintenance. We still have a slide out with broken cables and we still have only one windshield wiper so those will be our top priorities this year. While it’s in there we’ll also get some routine and preventative maintenance done.
It’s still quiet around here as far as the number of people goes. Many of our friends will start arriving by the end of the month while many more will begin arriving in November. It’ll be good to get back into the music, tennis and some regular happy hours.
That’s it for now. We’ll post again once the season gets into full swing!!
