Nice day here in South Texas. Woke up to cool temps (low 50s), but sunshine. Bob had to go take care of the "check engine" light issue with the truck. It ended up not being covered by warranty, so he was able to get in to a local garage and get it taken care of first thing. He was back in time for lunch.
My morning was once again spent on the phone with the prescription insurance company asking why I still did not have (and would not have) my medication today. UGH!!! They say, it will be delivered tomorrow - heard this for a week now, so we'll see.
He also put in a very full day of work for the travel agency. Being busy is a good thing (for several reasons).
Since I was feeling pretty good today and the sun was out (warmed up to low 70s), we spent the afternoon outside visiting with our friends. Soaking up the sun while I'm still allowed to do so.
One of our friends from the rv.net Kerrville rally stopped by to see us today. Was a short, nice visit with txbobcat.
Our friends are cooking dinner tonight. Nice change of pace for us both. Right now, just watching what looks like to be another awesome sunset over Salt Lake.
Tomorrow will be the visit to the cardiologist.
Thanks again for all the prayers. They are much appreciated!
Life is all about "the stories".
This is ours from our RV somewhere in the U.S.

Wow? Two Weeks to catch up........
We've really got to applaud those that can keep a regular blog going. Putting it off a day, then another day turns into a week, etc.
The second thought is that we've been so busy, we just don't take the time necessary to sit and record what's gone on.
We said our goodbye's to Sea Breeze RV Resort. There are some great people there. Capped the festivities off Tuesday night with some "Apple Pie" moonshine. Hooch with apples and cinnamon sticks. Really good. Really powerful.
Didn't leave without Sloopy leaving her mark.....literally. She took a snip at Daisy, a beautiful bloodhound, that required a run to the vet to close up the gash at her nose. Instant reputation, word got around instantly. Felt horrible.
We finally got to Fajitaville with the Heartland Owners Group of the Coastal Bend on Friday the 8th. Food is still terrific, view is still spectacular.
The 13th was a travel day to the Sweetheart Rally put on by RV.net in Kerrville, TX. Buckhorn Lake Resort is wonderful, a hidden jewel. Finally got to put faces to names from the Heartland Owners Group forum, learned how to play Mexican Train, and ate. Very. Well. The king was a 32 oz Porthouse for two dinner. Terrific. It was cold, though. A real downer. Like lows in the 20's cold.
Our friends Fred and Vickie made the trip down from Dallas, but, unfortunately, had a friend pass away that they had to turn around and roll right back to Fort Worth. It was good seeing them, if only for a night.
Had to cut things back a day because Connie had a doctor's appointment on Monday. Both of us are worried about Uncle Charlie returning. She'll have tests Friday and another appointment on Monday.
We settled at Copano Bay RV Resort on Sunday. Love it. Tremendously friendly Winter Texans abound. Concrete everywhere. Some would whine that there are no trees, not us. More sunshine the better. We actually at Kerrville decided to flip sides as the girls were freezing with the sun on the driver's side in the evening. Great choice. We've got an "obstructed bay view" out the back and the passenger's side windows. Getting to know the shortcuts into Rockport and Fulton, activities are abundant. The last two nights we've huddled with different neighbors for Happy Hour. Very happy.

Another trip around the sun......
Today's ends Bob's 51st trip around the sun. ALWAYS get the "you're so young" phrase whenever we're out amongst snow birds and full timers. If we don't get that phrase, there's "the look" wondering "OK, how are they doing this?" Funny.
Spent a great morning Monday meeting with the Heartland Owners Group of the Coastal Bend. Great group of folks. Found out two of them, Michael & Kelly Barnett will be traveling to the Sweetheart Rally in Kerrville, TX next February. Will be nice to see familiar faces there.
We seldom eat out on our own, but this group eats out twice a week. The Bakery Cafe was the site Monday. Connie's biscuits and gravy were very good, Bob's ham and cheese omelet was huge. Great brunch.
Speaking of familiar, we're both Mac people. Bob's had a Mac since they came out in 1983. We finally made the decision to abandon our AppleWorks and upgrade our system to the new OSX. We both hate, I mean HATE, software changes. Spent the last few days migrating everything over to Microsoft Word and Excel, checking on all the software that will have to be updated to keep up with the new OSX. <sigh> Once we get that going, the tax season will be upon us.
While all this is going on, the business has been incredibly busy! (Thank you!) New Disney and cruise bookings have tested out the new Word/Excel system quite nicely (except for the time something happened and all the booking numbers got assigned to the wrong clients.) Will be dropping the hammer today or tomorrow and downloading the new operating system.
Sunday reminded us of one of those days we fondly remember back in Ohio. Mid to late February and all of a sudden a mid 50's day pops out of nowhere and EVERYONE is outside washing cars, walking, etc. After the (for here) miserable days last week, we saw more people in the park out than since we arrived. Now, we're looking at thunderstorms for a few days, a few nice days, then back to the 50's to start our rise again.
Last night ended another College Football season. It all goes too fast (just like Alabama's players vs. the Domers). We'll humor ourselves with college basketball, pro golf, then the new baseball season. But it's just a ruse because we're waiting for next August to get here.
