Establishing A Routine & A Birthday
Days are starting to become routine. We get up about 5:00 am and I get Michael’s lunch box (breakfast, lunch and snacks) together while he gets ready. He leaves about 5:40 am for his long strenuous 9 tenths of a mile drive. He gets back home anywhere from 5:50 to 6:05ish…just depending on when Jeremy … Continue reading

Back In The Saddle And A BIG Secret Revealed!
Wednesday 5/25 Michael still has several appointments with the VA…the first of which was today. Of course in order to make that appointment he had to take the day off. Which meant he had to find someone to work for him…a relief gate guard. He didn’t have to look any further than his original … Continue reading

Zombies, A Surprise, An Oops And Fred And Ginger
Friday 3/20 First day of spring and 58 days until vacation…65 til we be cruisin’! I had a quiet, stay in my jammies and do nothing much kinda day. Felt good but I also felt guilty. We’d been anticipating rain all day and it finally hit us about 3:00 pm…BIG thunder, lightening and fairly heavy … Continue reading

March Madness, Lunch(es), Ginger & Brahmas
Tuesday 3/17 Foggy, foggy morning….so foggy that the fog still hadn’t completed lifted until after 10:00 am! For the last couple of days I’ve had little to no internet access so I’ve been watching a lot of TV. This morning I watched Gladiator and really enjoyed it. Didn’t think I would but I was quite … Continue reading

New Neighbors, Drainage & Family Tradition
We woke up this morning to find that we had a new neighbor….so we now have 4 RVs in our itty bitty parking lot. There are 6 spots here but actually only 5 that are usable. After we parked in our spot and hooked up to the power we found that the power didn’t work. … Continue reading

Ship-Shape & Falling Into A Routine
Saturday 3/14 I had pretty much gotten Michael’s breakfast and lunch ready last night so all I had to do was put it in his cooler and send him on his way. Breakfast was a kolache and donuts (the remainder of what I purchased Friday morning). Lunch was leftover chicken fried steak, corn and cole … Continue reading

The Office
Today was Michael’s first full 12 hour day in the guard shack. I drove him over (1 mile!) at 6:00 this morning as I had errands to run later in the day. After I dropped him off I drove over to Yorktown (7 miles northwest) to pick up some ice and then made a stop … Continue reading

First Day In The Books
Our lights went out at 8:15ish last night and we were sound asleep soon after. I woke up about 5:00 am and finally gave up trying to go back to sleep about 5:30 am. I spent a nice quiet morning reading emails, sending emails, commenting on posts, making posts and watching it get lighter and … Continue reading

Taking Up Residence In Nordheim, Texas
Getting hitched up this morning was not the easiest task. With all the rain we had a couple of days ago the mud was in abundance and Michael did quite a bit of slippin’ and slidin’ but actually did much better than I thought he’d be able to. Rather than pull the coach forward through … Continue reading

Time To Share
Ok…I know the suspense is killing you so it’s time to share about the opportunity that was presented to us last Friday. While Kevin, our service tech, was here to give us water & fuel he said to Michael, “I have to ask you something”. It seems that one of the oil companies that contracts … Continue reading
