What we're doing...
Wednesday, 9/11/2019 – As expected, we’ve been quite busy since arriving at my sister’s home in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. In addition to spending time with my sister and her family we spent a good part of our first week going to various appointments that we had set up for our visit.
Over the weekend we headed off in the RV for a stay at a campground just down the street from my mom on Cape Cod. Our timing wasn’t the greatest but it could have been worse. Hurricane Dorian was coming up the coast and although it was being downgraded to a tropical storm, the Nantucket Sound area of the Cape was expected to get some heavy rain and gusty winds. We arrived at our campground on the beach of Nantucket Sound on Friday, as the storm was approaching but still a few hours away. After a brief visit with my mom we headed back to the RV and hunkered down. Once the winds got bad we brought the slides in and rode out the storm with lots of rain and some pretty good gusts but nothing that ever concerned us too much.
On Saturday we spent the day with my mom. Unfortunately, as I was making some repairs on her garage door, my mom fell on her driveway and we spent the next three hours visiting the ER where we found out for sure that she did indeed break her arm. For the remainder of our stay we did what we could to make her comfortable and enjoy our visit as much as possible. On Sunday night I joined her as we watched the Patriot’s game together. It was a great game to begin their season as they won in a big way.
On Monday morning we needed to head back to my sister’s house in Uxbridge. It turns out I’ve been enjoying the sun just a little too much so I required some Mohs Surgery to remove some cells from my neck. It wasn’t a pleasant experience but as far as I know, it was successful. I think it’s time to take the regular application of sun screen more seriously. Tonight I get to remove the bandage and take my first shower in 48 hours. I sure am looking forward to that. I’m also looking forward to hearing back from the doctor that the biopsy results are all negative.
We have a couple of quiet days coming up with no specific plans other than to relax and in my case recuperate. On Saturday, we’re having a last get together here at Camp Sawash with everyone before we head off on Monday and we’re looking forward to that. The weather forecast is looking good on Saturday with sunny skies and temps in the mid 70’s. Can’t wait!!
On Monday we head south with overnight stops in Matamoros, Pennsylvania and Winchester, Virginia before arriving at the NC State Fairgrounds Campground in Raleigh, North Carolina for a twelve night stay to visit my daughter, husband and three of our grandkids. At least that’s where we hope to stay. It’s a first come first served campground and there’s a music festival going on that weekend but it’s a Wednesday and we expect to beat the crowd. We’re anxious for our visit since this will be our first trip to their new home and first chance to see them all since over a year ago.

Following our visit here in Massachusetts with family we'll head south to North Carolina for a visit with our daughter and her family who have just moved from Massachusetts and into their new home in Fuquay-Varina. From there we'll begin heading back to our winter home in Texas with stops currently planned in Savannah, Georgia, Florida and Galveston Island. If all goes as planned, we’ll be arriving back in Edinburg mid-October.
