North to South

 There is nothing like putting a nip in the air to have our minds switch directions. If you want to get technical we have been going to Texas for 33 years! Doesn't seem possible. The very first year was a vacation and could not have been for more than two weeks because that was about all we had for vacation in those days. And the month would have been February because the weather was balmy. After finding a place where we could have summer in the winter there was nothing holding us back.

Golfing was big for us in those years and we did plenty of it wherever we could. I dropped out of golf after 20 years of overload but Butch has carried on with it. He likes it best when his boys can join him. Rich was here yesterday and they played 18. I always did like it when all the boys went out to play.

So back to being southward bound. Our Motorhome has been gone through from stem to stern with lots of adjustments here and there. When things get some age just as people it is one patch after another. As much tender attention the Moho has had this summer, we feel we can trust it to be as ready as we are for the trip.

Our next step will be moving into the motorhome after the 4th or 5th of October. We have found through experience that living in it before we take off, cuts way down on items that get forgotten. We will live in it until we take off so I would guess a couple of weeks.

So until the next time!

Happy Day!

The doctor called to tell me that the normal reading of my blood indicates that the condition is not an emergency. She still thinks I should see a GI doc but if I can't do that in a timely manner in Iowa, I should get in touch with one in South Texas. I plan to do that. So there you have it. I am a happy woman.

I have lined up our itinerary for our trip south. I have made the reservations in the two places we will need them. I will put it in an email for those who may need or want it. I am a happy woman.

We had a good group of trivia players last night and a good time was had by all. The questions were not easy, however, laughter was abundant. I am a happy woman.

I have been diligently working on a slide show, 2 actually, for my Class of '61 reunion on October 1st and 2nd. These are pictures I have taken or gathered over the past reunions. It has been a long time since I have done a slide show so I had to work hard on the old tired brain cells to get it done. I have it completed. Updates on it should be fairly easy. So anyone from the class of '61 who would like to send me photos can still do so. Having this done makes me a VERY happy woman! And thanks Mickey for helping me test it.

Butch is at the golf course so I assume he is a very happy man!

Blood work???

 Had a blood test yesterday to see if my elevated numbers were still the same. Just saw the results. The good news is they are all completely normal. The other news is WHY? Will tell you what I know when I know it.

Tuesday...

 Tuesday is garbage day. The day we gather up our contributions to the landfill and place them at the curb for pick up tomorrow morning. I imagine that you can surmise I have a bit of a writing block since I have stooped to writing about garbage.

There is no news on the health issue. I have not had another attack. They came up with an appt. for me in Ames on November 9th. So I asked them just how serious is this thing. Didn't get an answer but they and I are now working on getting an earlier appt. Last I knew they were working on a referral to Des Moines Digestive Services. That was yesterday.

I have been working diligently on a slide show for my class reunion. I thought I had it done but then tried it on another computer and it would not work. So I found a workaround by using Google Slides App. It is a great app by the way as I was able to export the one I had done in Libre, another wonderful program, and it was nearly seamless. But still, I want a slide show that will work on anyone's computer with as little fiddling as possible. So now I have a slide show that works on my HP computer and one that works on my Chromebook. As soon as I do a bit more investigating I will be looking for a volunteer to test them for me. Butch is not a candidate. 

Speaking of Butch he has been keeping up with his yard work. It has been cut in half since he sold the extra lot. He has been getting his walks in by golfing and playing pool. We are adjusting to the larger table. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is not. I think that is true for any sport, however.😏
