What we're doing...
Friday, 10/9/2020 – Hi everybody!! Yes, it’s been over six months since our last update. And yes, we remain in the Rio Grande Valley.
As you may recall, we decided to skip traveling this past summer due to the virus. At that time, the Rio Grande Valley was one of the safest places in the country. That all changed this summer when the virus began spreading like wildfire down here. Claudia and I have continued to practice our social distancing and wearing our face masks whenever we leave the resort and have remained virus free.
We spent the spring and summer trying to stay busy. I began playing online games on a PlayStation 4 while Claudia began making puzzles. In addition, we started making improvements to our home. We now have an outdoor shower that was very nice to have during our summer temperatures of over 100 degrees. We’ve also finished up some indoor painting, built ourselves a new back porch and performed a lot of necessary maintenance. It was a lot easier to justify spending our time on that stuff when there wasn’t really much else to do.
We did plan on taking a short trip in the motor home for about a week last month but unfortunately I began feeling ill. We took a trip to the ER just in case and found out what it wasn’t. It wasn’t Covid. We still don’t know what it was, maybe just a bug or allergies but I’m feeling better at this point. We’ll probably plan another short trip later this year to someplace here in Texas. It has to be somewhere that it doesn’t snow.
Now that our winter season is approaching, some people will begin to return. Many regulars won’t be returning this year, either because they can’t (Canadians for example), or they may just prefer to stay isolated. Until there is a vaccine that works, life cannot go on as usual around here. There are some that will attend dances, play games and socialize indoors. Claudia and I both agree that we will wait it out and pass on those activities this season. It’s sad but that happens to be our personal opinion and we’ll err on the side of caution. It’s going to be a long winter.
We’re hoping that by spring a vaccine will become available and we can travel once again. No matter what, we need to see our families again. Since we’re over 65 we should be able to get a vaccine sooner rather than later. Once that happens, we’ll pack up the motor home and be off to see them.
Claudia and I hope you are all being careful out there. I know we’ve probably lost a few followers due to my lack of updates but we will be back. Travelling will once again be part of our lives and no one is more anxious for that than we are. Take care and stay tuned for future travelling adventures.
