Family My grandmother had 13 siblings - most of whom raised their families in Southern California (where I grew up). My mother has 58 first cousins. First cousins! Family events, holidays, etc in SoCal were always jam packed with lots of people, good food, great music, and canasta! It was not uncommon to have 200+…
2 months to the day since we arrived in Florida, we left to head home. I’ll be back in a couple of months for more treatment, for now, we’ve been gone from home longer than we’d like and we want to get back. One of our daughters and our grandson came to visit for a…
10 years ago today, we stood in front of family & friends overlooking the river and became husband and wife. Oh how life has changed since then! We have been challenged in ways we could never have considered. Less than a year after our vows, I became bedridden and our journey to find help was…
Yeah I’ve lost track of what day it is. Today was the first day I’ve been able to really be up and out of the RV since the prolotherapy last Thursday. The afternoon storms are pretty cool - but one of the dogs doesn’t agree, so we went to get him a thunder shirt and…
Had a lazy morning - not feeling great today, but we did make it down to Fort Myers Beach for lunch and to drop our feet in the water. This is the warmest ocean water I’ve ever felt. I plan to be back down here to get totally wet at some point! PelicansHow’s this for…
This is the last day of travel for a month or so. My first doctor appointment is Tuesday and I think my first treatment is Wednesday. So we have a day to dial in life at our temporary home in Fort Myers. We hope to do a little sightseeing in Florida, but the primary purpose…
We got an early start this morning to try to reduce the hours in the heat without a/c. Came across 2 dead alligators on I-10 near Irish Bayou. Other dead things: wild boar, turtle. Toto, we are not in California anymore! Driving across the bridge between lakes Ponchetrain and Borgne, it feels like we are…
If you missed yesterday’s post, we went out on the town in the French Quarter last night. What a blast! This morning we’ve been taking it a little slow, cleaning a bit, laundry, fixing a few small issues and resting. The Garden District Well, I did it again - took a bunch of photos on…
We have run our generator pretty much non-stop to power the A/C. This tin can cooks us if we don’t. It’s a trick we learned when we first got the RV - skeptical at first, but boy does it make a difference when it’s 100° outside! We thought it was cool enough last night to…
Ozark David’s parents moved here in 1999. They loved it here. Dayles Bridge - over Dayles River This is Dayles bridge over Dayles River. The birds did not like the drone - they were swarming it like crazy! I don’t know what I thought Arkansas looked like but it’s really much prettier than I thought…
