Kathi and I spent Friday night in the Happy Oaks RV Park in
Alleyton, TX. I had a head cold and it seemed to be getting worse in the below
freezing temperatures around the weekend evenings. I hooked our water hose back
up about 10 am, so we had running water inside the rest of the day. Kathi got a
call from Green Caye RV Park in Dickinson, TX on Saturday afternoon to let her
know they found a space for us in their park. We were glad, since the only
other option we could think of was staying a few more days at Happy Oaks.
Neither of us were looking forward to that option, because
Kathi’s broken veneer was causing her some discomfort. We got to Dickinson
about 3 pm Sunday afternoon. I got our electricity hooked up and our satellite
TV signal in tune and we went to Luby’s Cafeteria for lunch. Kathi found some
soft, bland foods that would not hurt her tooth and I had cheese steak and mac
and cheese, topped off with pecan pie. I was still feeling poorly and when we
got back home, so I hooked up the water and took a nap.

Kathi called our dentist on Monday morning and the earliest
appointment she could get was Tuesday at 9 am. We decide it made sense for me
to go see our family doctor for some antibiotics to help clear up my head
congestion and rid myself of the achiness. We picked up the medicine and I
spent most of the rest of the day napping in my chair.
After another sleepless night, because of the head
congestion and difficulty getting enough air into my lungs, we awoke early to
get Kathi to the dentist. I drove her over and sat in the car and read Robert
B. Parker’s “Ceremony.” It is a Spenser detective story featuring Spenser, Hawk
and Susan. No plans for the afternoon, but I suspect some more napping will
take place.
We are both glad at our house that the temperature is above
freezing for a little while. We always manage to get by, but not with the
comfort which we are accustomed to having.
We are looking forward to hearing Obama’s farewell speech
this evening. I hope he remembers me when he brags about his competency and his
legacy.

Thanks for taking the time to write your travel blog today. I know how sick you are this week. I am glad you went to the doctor. I am also glad you and Mom worked in a trip to the casino before this infection and flu hit so hard. It will be nice when you are able to travel through Utah and hopefully go back to the area that is my adoptive home and your summer home, the Pacific Northwest. What a day it would be if we could all go see the giant redwoods and sequoia s together again. I know there is a place on the Oregon coast wondering when you will be back. I will always think about San Francisco and Betsy. It is a great place. I would also like to see the National and State parks in the Sierra Nevada and central California mountains. For now I will be happy enough just for everyone to feel better. Get well soon.
