Due to the milder winter weather in the midwest, folks started packing up and moving north earlier than usual, some in early April. By the end of March, the park had taken on it's "summer empty" appearance; all of the "see you next winter" good-byes had been said.
It's almost time for me to head north - better update y'all on my exciting activities for the last couple of months. How many doctor's waiting rooms can you set in within a couple of months -- the answer: LOTS! I'm rapidly getting used to my Kindle e-Reader!
My local doc sent me for some cardiology and respiratory work-ups; we weren't getting anywhere with simple (and not so simple) medication changes. So...it has been off to the specialists. I have a great cardio guy in Corpus Christi (about 40 miles to the south) and a great respiratory guy in Victoria (about 50 miles to the north.) Believe me, I've been burning up the highway and the diesel fuel. But, I'm just about finished (I think.) One more cardio appointment and one more GP appointment before I can set a definite date to head north.
Hopefully by the end of May, before Memorial Day weekend, I'll be setting in Gatesville, drinking coffee with Johnnie and having lunch with Brenda. By the way, Brenda and Samantha came down and spend several days with me. We set up my little trailer for them here in the park and it was really great having them here.
I have to be in Iowa for eye doc appointment June 11. Want to get there about June 6 so I don't have to rush getting settled in. Can't wait to get to Iowa to ride out a few tornadoes and wind storms.
Got a little practice with that here in Rockport yesterday. Previous evening winds picked up, rain was blowing sideways! I had to be in Corpus Christi for a cardio appointment by 11AM that same morning, so off I went like I had good sense! Couldn't see the road, but followed the tail lights of the truck ahead of me. If he had gone over the edge, I'd have been right behind him...he obviously knew where he was going 'cuz I arrived at the clinic safe and sound. On the way back, I realized just what the weatherman means when he says 'coastal flooding." The bay had blown in and with all the rain we had (up to 16") the water was kissing the edges of the roadway. Reportedly 4 tornadoes touched down in the area. No damage from hail or winds at my place...except the WiFi and Cable TV are OUT!
High and dry today!
