Falling Down on the Bloggin’

They line the sides of the dirt roads and highways, flourish in the farmers fields and even grown amongst the weeds around our coach that need to be eliminated very badly!

Roadrunner, Birds, Deer And Cows In The Distance
Thursday 4/2 A fairly quiet day spent making various appointments. We each have an appointment to have our teeth cleaned here in Kenedy. We went to this dental clinic last year and both liked it there so figured we’d go back. I also made myself an appointment to see our doctor in San Antonio to … Continue reading

The class was supposed to educate the group (about 100 per Michael) about the cause of sleep apnea and the possible fixes. Unfortunately, Michael’s class being at … Continue reading
