June 4th - headed to Iowa. Stopped at Orville’s to have my tires on the trailer checked on my way out of town. Sad to say, he has sold the place, but was there in the AM and introduced me to the new owner. Sure hope I get the same kinda service! I’ll miss Orville.
Just south of Fort Worth, a trucker pulled up next to me and rolled down his window hollering, "check your rear.” I just knew it was another wheel problem! And then when I walked around the back and saw the slide out, I was wondering how in the world I was going to get it in -- the motor requires electricity! Stupid me! I had 12 volt with the trailer plugged into the truck. Just takes a lot longer! And you know, after that, I was stopping every hour or so and checking - but it was OK -- just must have been that stupid peanut butter jar that tipped over against the switch -- why in the world did they put that switch for the slide out in the PANTRY!
Arrived at my routine stop, Pioneer Park, Guthrie OK, by supper time. As usual, plug in the electric and the water – don’t bother to unhitch – put the slide out – call it HOME! Fell asleep before the sun went down -- still had my clothes on! Woke up at 3 AM - got out of my clothes and didn't wake up until 6AM. Guess my ol' body just gets really pooped driving!
In no hurry to pull out in the AM – don’t even fix breakfast. I'm about 1 1/2 hr from the first service center on the Kansas Turnpike with a McDonalds! There are plenty of other places along the interstate to get something but the service centers are easy in and out!
I can't get into the park in Homewood KS until 3PM and it is only about 4-5 hrs from Guthrie; I make a lot of stops along the way! I do enjoy the short driving day after the 6 hr trip to Guthrie. I have decided that 6 hrs is about my limit for driving -- those long 10-12 hr days are GONE! But it sure is nice to be able to get out of the truck and walk around the trailer, checking tires - and now rear slide! -- and not getting out of breath! What a difference that one little piece of plastic made!
When I wake up Wednesday June 6 in Homewood KS, I’m only 5 slow and easy hrs from Shady Oaks. Watched the local highway reports prior to leaving that AM and made notes of the construction areas. This has been a fairly good trip as far as construction – not a lot of detour or delay.
There it is! Welcome to Iowa – pull over at the visitor’s center in Lamoni – they serve Made-Rite sandwiches (loose meat sandwiches if you watched the Roseanne Barr show on TV) Wish I hadn’t left my camera in the truck – I ordered a strawberry malt – comes in the metal container they mix it in – that’s a LOT of malt! Is this Heaven? No, it’s Iowa!
Arrived at Shady Oaks a little after 3PM – pulled up to my spot waiting for Randy to come from work to help be back in – creamed the side of the trailer with the extension on the dumpster! OOPS! Well, I was just trying to get over! No major damage – just going to need some fiberglass mending patches!
By the time my sister showed up from work, Randy and I had just about finished setting it up. Then it was catch my breath – apply a little more deodorant and head out for something to eat with my sister! I’m Here! Li'lBit and Holly are happy campers!

Headed North
Ron came by to help me hitch up the trailer and I headed out of Rockport before noon on Wednesday May 23. Arrived in Gatesville TX just in time for supper. Fred was there to help me get ‘level’ and unhitch. It’s a great feeling to be “home.” And it didn’t take me long to get out to Johnnie’s for coffee. Oh, how I miss our chats when I’m not in Gatesville!
After a night of tossing and turning, waking up with back pain and leg cramps, I realized it might take me some time to get back into that On The Road mode! Woke up Thursday AM knowing I hadn’t gone for enough north! 76 degrees at 7 AM! Headed out to Johnnie’s to do my laundry, visit and drink coffee!
In less than 24 hours I was coughing, spitting, sputtering, nose plugged, short of breath!! Hmmmm…must be back in Gatesville!
Had the truck out to Orville’s at 7:30 Thursday AM -- Planned on it taking awhile so had my book -- but he got me in right away -- oil changed -- brakes checked and OK - tires checked and OK -- got out of there for less than $100! Dog-gone diesel oil change isn’t cheap!
More coffee with Johnnie and lunch with Brenda. Brenda brought my mail – a huge sack of junk mail and advertising. Most of my “real” mail is now coming to Rockport. Stopped at the license plate place and got the trailer tags -- then went to WalMart to see if they can put my old glasses back together -- I sat on them! They are my spare pair!
Saturday 10:30 AM Li'lBit’s appointment at the vet. Saturday at 6PM Michael fixed me deer meat stew and corn bread last – good food – good friends! Even brought a bowl home!
Met his cousin while there – she was having a yard sale on Saturday so you know where I went Saturday! And – I found an indoor grill – I have regretted selling mine at the yard sale when I was moving into the RV – but just didn’t think I’d need it in the RV. WRONG!! I now have a new one!
Sunday lunch at Johnnie's -- chicken fried steak, "Toby tators" and all the trimmings! Ate way too much – and she even had one of her ‘famous’ chocolate birthday cakes for me! A really nice surprise.
Got some rain Monday nite - At least it cooled it off a little -- all the way down to 72 degrees!
Went to vote Tuesday AM - what a disaster -- no wonder folks don't go out and vote -- no one seemed to know what was going on and it was all in one place -- the county court house! All but one of the precincts voted there and the right hand still didn’t know what the left hand was doing!
Met Mary Jane for lunch at Andy's -- had a really good salad -- made the mistake of trying to bring what I couldn't eat home -- didn't last too long in the truck while I was drinking coffee with Johnnie!
The truck went into Dodge for its well baby check up – having some A/C problems and it needed some routine checks. Then lunch with Brenda -- then coffee with Johnnie -- then back home to rest! Do you see a pattern here?
Picked up the truck -- gave 'em $600!!! But I'm up to date with all service and it shouldn't give me any trouble -- and shouldn't have much of a bill in the fall! My A/C is OK -- but there is something with the computer board and when it idles, etc etc etc -- damned if I understand it. I really can't complain -- the last couple of times I've gotten out kinda cheap -- just minor stuff -- but I'm at that mileage point where everything needs to be done and since I'm "passing thru" we do it all at once.
Major part of the storms passed us by Wednesday nite -- didn't get much rain so I had to water my plants – one of these days I’m gonna stop carting all of this greenery back and forth! At least it was down to 68 degrees and only into the 80s for a couple of days.
Met Brenda and Samantha for lunch at Ranchers - like their onion straws and hamburgers on sour dough buns. Glad I got to see Samantha, never did get the time to get “Brenda and the girls” together at Dairy Queen this trip. Then to Johnnie's for coffee and to do a load of laundry.
Ran into Laurie and Cindy (used to work with them at home health) when I was at Ranchers. Stopped by home health one day before I left town to visit for awhile.
Johnnie’s grandson, Colton, graduated June 1 – didn’t go to graduation since it was outside at the football stadium in 90+ sticky, hot, humid degrees. But I did go to his party/dinner at The Feed Mill. I can’t believe he is graduating! Seems like just yesterday…
Gotta start packing up - hit the road Monday, June 4!

On The Road Again.....
Today is hitch-it-up-and-move-it-out day! Hope to be on the road before noon -- but it does take a bunch of last minute loading when you have critters!
First stop: Gatesville TX to catch up on gossip and coffee-drinkin' (and lunches)!
Then on to Iowa the first part of June.

Packin' Up, Tossin' Out, Closin' Up, Loadin' Up
Yee-Haw! Now that's Texan for YIPPEE! Had an appointment at cardiology today for follow-up of stent placement and I'm good to go! "Have a good summer and I'll see you when you get back." Those were the magic words! My new Super-Heros are Dr Toth and Dr Szalai of Cardiology Associates of Corpus Christi!
Now, to finish cleaning up the 5th wheel and packing up the things I will be taking with me -- then loading the travel trailer and I"ll be ready. Fortunately, I have accumulated duplicates of quite a bit of "stuff" and it is permanently in the trailer so I don't have to move it each time.
Hopefully on the road not later than NEXT Thursday! Can't wait to make it to Gatesville (TX) and get some of Johnnie Williams' coffee...oh, how I miss our visits!

Life is Good and Gonna Get Better!
Things I learned on Saturday: (1) When it is going to be 90 humid degrees, best to leave the A/C going if you are gone -- otherwise fleas invade your carpet; (2) All the food purchased to follow the pulmonary doc's diet is not applicable to a cardio-diet; (3) A crock pot must be plugged in to work; (4) It is nearly impossible to catch up on 5 days of email and Face book; (5) A cat, even an OLD one, can clear everything off of a desk, table or counter if left alone for any length of time!
Got home from the hospital on Friday – after going in for a procedure on Wednesday, ended up being sent directly to the hospital for placement of stent in coronary artery that was 95% blocked. Not the way I had planned on spending the end of the week! Fortunately, habit and previous experience has trained me to put out the auto-waterer and extra food for the critters. I left the bags of dog and cat food on the floor and open so they could get into them if needed! I’m such a thoughtful critter-mom! AND, put down several pee pads for Li’lBit and a fresh supply of kitty litter for Holly.
When I left Wednesday morning, I had full intentions of being home Wednesday evening, but after the cardiac catheterization, it was decided I needed immediate treatment so at 7AM the next morning I was having the groin poked and prodded again to get the angioplasty and stent placement completed. I think the worse part of that was the 8 hrs flat on my back after the procedure – that just plain sucks!
Thanks to Deryl and Elke, my friends here in Rockport, I had transportation when I needed it and they came by the RV and checked on the critters. Holly, 17 yrs old, had been quite lethargic; loosing weight, not eating, drinking…I was really worried about her. And, Li’lBit is up there in years, too, and being blind….I just hated being away from them.
But…I got ‘sprung’ on Friday; Deryl and Elke carted my lazy rear end back home – after we stopped for lunch at Sirloin Stockade! They even dropped off my RX and picked them up and delivered later that day.
This winter has not been a “good air” winter for me. Breathing had become increasingly more and more painful and more and more labored. I had just about given up going to any of the activities and functions offered…..just took too much air to move. The last couple of months have been a series of medical appointments – pulmonary specialist in Victoria TX, 50 miles north of Rockport, and cardio specialist in Corpus Christi, about 35 miles south. I’ve had just about all they offer – stress test, failed that twice, echocardiograms, sonograms, CAT scans, blood work until I’m not sure there is much left – I definitely cannot complain about the caliber of care offered – Thank you Blue Cross Blue Shield Texas and Medicare!
Now, as soon as I can get past this lack of activity period, no driving, etc etc etc (I do like the no vacuuming part, however!) I’m sure I’ll be rarin’ to go. Gotta get that trailer loaded to head north. 50th class reunion in Maquoketa (Iowa) this summer and you don’t think I’m gonna miss seeing all those old folks I went to school with, do you?

OOPS - I've Been a Bad Girl; Neglecting the Blog!
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!
