Desert Scenes And Grandpuppies

Thank Goodness

We moved today.  We are still in Tucson but in a different park.  It is less money, with cable and internet.  I might even jump in the pool.  It was cheaper to rent it by the week and that is what we did.  We are settled and happy.

Guess what I did today?  I ran over the sewer connection.  Why they put it in the middle of the lot I will never know but I back right over it.  First time I have ever did something like that.  :-)

I also miss my computer.  Mom was nice enough to loan me her computer while mine is missing it's cord.  I left it over at my son's house so no pictures and no stories but maybe tomorrow.   Life is good.

Fort Stockton Texas Sunset

We are in Tucson and not Fort Stockton.  I was going through my photographs this evening and thought I would post these pictures I took while in Fort Stockton.

 

I Am Still On The Road

We are in Texas, Fort Stockton to be exact.  I met up with a friend this evening and enjoyed a beautiful sunset and great conversation.  Tomorrow we are heading to New Mexico and we are hoping to be in Tucson on Friday.  If all goes well. 

We did spend a couple of nights in Oklahoma but left before the weather turned crazy.  Texas is so dry and so many parts of it is on fire.  It is truly a scary situation for those living here.  

We are alive and well and moving down the road.  More later.

I Am On The Road To Tucson

Right now we are turtling our way to Tucson.  I will be posting more this evening or tomorrow. 

Still In Missouri

The reason mom and I ended up in Missouri was to see a doctor for my yearly physical.  Once again my cholesterol level was brought up.  I have had this problem for years and I am on some pretty strong medication.  My weight was not a factor, it is hereditary.  I hear “you have to watch what you eat,” yet I am not sure what it is I am suppose to be eating.  Last night mom and I went out to eat and I was trying to figure out what I could eat.  It was a buffet so I concentrated on fish and a salad.  The couple sitting next to us heard us talking and a wonderful conversation started.  The gentleman was a Vietnam vet, been exposed to Agent Orange which of course caused a myriad of medical problems.  He also has diabetes.    He was a wealth of information.  He uses a book to keep track of everything he eats which I am checking into purchasing it.  There is a web page, Calorie King, which I am going to use.  It lets me know exactly what I am eating and what is in it.   I was given a George Forman grill and I am going to purchase a toaster oven.  Try to eat smarter.  I have started taking fish oil, 2 tablets 4 times a day.  Which is not a good thing when you live in an itty bitty van.   I have been told my body will adjust. 

Tomorrow we need to run back to my hometown to sign some papers and then back to Kansas City for the night.  Tuesday, knock on wood, we will be out of state.
