I returned to Ohio on the 19th to stay with 2 of our grandchildren while our daughter and son-in-law went on a private cruise. It has been a chilly visit. O degrees this AM, but went up to 27 by afternoon. Tonight we have a winter weather advisory with snow followed by freezing rain possible tomorrow AM. I nee to be back where it is warm. Too bad I can't just pack the kids up and take them with me. School might be upset with that. Besides it being cold here, I was ill when I came. I went to see the nurse practitioner the day after I arrived, am now on Levaquin and Prednisone, feeling better but had nearly lost my voice today. Maybe I was talking too much. Tomorrow I am staying here at the house, doing laundry and cleaning and hopefully a nap. The kids might have a snow day, so I will have help with cleaning.
I have taken advantage of being home, the taxes are done and I can pick them up next week. I hope to talk with some high school classmates to see what is on the agenda for this years class reunion. I won't say how many years, but since I am retired you can probably guess pretty close.
No pictures today, I left my camera in Texas, I will borrow Elle's camera, hopefully I will be able to work it.

Illness
Valentine's Day night was not much fun. I started feeling ill about 8PM then diarrhea and vomiting ensued. I have not been this sick since I had food poisoning a long time ago. I was sick all night, remember RVs have tiny bathrooms. I even had a fever, I never get fevers. Good thing H was here, I certainly needed help.
Now H is getting sick, he has a sore throat and cough. I started him on Zicam, Vitamin C and rest.
We had a good day on Valentine'Day, we went to New Braunfels and had a late luch at The Gristmill, a very old building that was originally a gristmill, then a cotton gin until it burned in 1925. It was rebuilt in another area. This building has a lot of the old features. The brick and old wood they have added it makes it a really nice place. We ate outside overlooking the river. Then we walked around the town a little bit.
It rained a little yesterday, a lot during the night, and possibility of thunderstorms this afternoon. Then I hope it clears up. It is chilly today.

Long Trip.
We are now in San Marcos, TX, just north of San Antonio. We drove 1100 miles over 3 days and 2 nights from Yuma, AZ to Texas. It was hard for us and the cat. Hobbes hates being in the truck, but I let him roam around in the truck with the leach on, which made him less agitated. He slept most of the time on the back seat or on my lap. Cat hair everywhere. Well tomorrow we get to clean up the truck and get groceries.
It is warm here today, don't know what the forecast is for the next week, but since this is Texas, it should be warm. The campground is small compared to the one in Yuma, but seems pleasant, plus it has a river running thru it where one can fish. We have a few things to set up, yet, so tomorrow will be busy.
