Happy Thanksgiving to all our family and friends!
I guess it is time to update our adventures. After leaving Little Rock, we stopped
overnight at a campground in Carthage, Texas.
The Carthage RV Park was easily accessible, has nice level pull-through
sites, and exceptionally clean restrooms.
This is an excellent place to stop for the night and I am sure many
RVers do stop here on their way to Southern Texas.
We pulled in to Thousand Trails on Lake Conroe on October 30
and found a site to use for our three day unloading period.. Because we own a
cottage, we are allowed to camp for three days to either unload or load the RV
without the time being counted as part of our annual allotment. We actually unloaded in only two days and
were moved back into the cottage on November 1 with the camper in storage. While it is certainly nice to be back “home”,
we do miss our sleep number bed. I don’t
think either of us has slept good since returning to our Hidden Cove cottage
(the bed is an off brand memory foam—I think you either love them or hate
them). As a result, we ordered a sleep
number bed which will be delivered next Tuesday—yea rah!!
Another project upon our return was to have a golf cart
parking pad put in-it is to the right of the front landscaping. One of neighbors was
extending their pad to accommodate a motorcycle so it made sense to have ours
done at the same time to save on the cost of the concrete truck. That job was completed about a week ago and
is a great improvement over trying to park the golf cart and the big truck on
the driveway.
Pat did a lot of the site preparation work and as a result,
he came down with a bad cold/sinusitis.
Starting the day of the concrete pour and for three days, he was in
bed. We were originally going to host a
surprise farewell party for our neighbor, Karen, who has decided to move to Massachusetts. Since Pat was so sick, we had to move the
party to another house but all went well with Karen being very surprised. Our Thanksgiving plans also had to
change. We were going to go to McKinney,
Texas to visit Pat’s brother but decided it would be best to postpone our trip
so that he would not expose the grandkids.
Instead we ate dinner at the campground which was a nice fellowship
time.
Pat being sick made us try to find a doctor. What a joke that turned out to be. One would think that you could go to any
doctor regardless of the insurance coverage you happen to have. That is not the case. We tried one physician group but they have
their own Medicare supplement insurance and would not see Pat at all with
Medicare and an AARP supplement insurance.
We tried another doctor who does take his insurance but there were no
openings. We finally ended up going to a
nurse practitioner at CVS who probably was as good as any doctor. We will continue our quest for a local doctor
and do have a couple of suggestions from our neighbors.
I have found a church-Plymouth United Church-in Spring,
Texas. It is a United Church of Christ
and seems to be a growing congregation.
The adult Sunday school class meets prior to the service with a format
of reviewing the Lectionary for the week.
I am looking forward to taking my daughter to church when she comes to
stay with us in December.
That about does it for now!!
EASY LIVING!!
