In Texas

We are in Texas, about 200 miles from El Paso. Last night we were in Boerne, TX. We were going to stop about 2PM yesterday, but as were turned from 1604 onto I-10 north of San Antonio, the road was completely closed. They routed everyone off onto a frontage road , one lane. It took about an hour to go a little over 2 miles. They are doing road construction. This AM as were about to get on I-10, 2 very large, slow moving, oversized trucks with 3 patrol cars with them, were getting off I-10. They needed to make a turn which took a long time. Oh well, I guess that is why we are retired, so we don't have to hurry anywhere.

We are definitely moving slower than last year, Hobbes and I both don't like being in the truck too long. He has improved this year, though. He now knows that he needs to use the litter box at some time during the day, and lets me know by meowing continuously until we stop and let him in Moose(the 5th wheel). But he doesn't want to eat cat food while we are traveling, he thinks people food is his right.

Tomorrow we will be in New Mexico.

Last day in Biloxi.

Some pictures from the beach area, we ate lunch while reading at the beach on Sunday.
The rest of these pictures are sculptures that have been carved from the dead trees post Hurricane Katrina.




This one they are just starting, not sure what it will be. These are all along Highway 90, Beach Blvd.

Family! again.

My last entry published before I was done. These pictures indicate why we keep family hidden. Just kidding. The pictures are of Todd and his family, Jen (wife), Sam (daughter), Doug and Matt (sons). Can you guess which ones are the boys?

Family!

Bethel Free Health Clinic

This week has been different at the clinic. We did not have a doctor on Monday or today, only had doctor 1/2 day on Tuesday. So yesterday afternoon and today I have been doing data entry of visits. I am picking up speed. But sitting a t a computer for 8 hours is not something I am used to. Tomorrow we have a doctor all day.
Saturday we leave for Yuma, AZ. Will probably take about 4 days. H always enjoys the stay in Biloxi, so I think we are leaving on Saturday, but you never know.

Prayer Shawls

A group from Oakland County, Michigan, brought several boxes of lap robes and prayer shawls down to Mississippi. They presented them to Judy, second from right, who runs the free clinic.
I have been working in the free health clinic this week and will work there next week, also. H has been working out in houses, he has done gutting of houses and is now doing flooring and door framing. He keeps busy.
The weather has been great, warm in the high 70s, and sunny. Today we had rain and it is only 64. But, unlike Ohio, it will warm back up here. We will be in MS until the 15th when we leave for Yuma, AZ for the winter.

In Biloxi

Rest stop on way to Biloxi, Hobbes taking a walk.
Apparently Hobbes didn't want to pose.
H did a really good job parking the Moose between 2 other campers at Camp Biloxi. Not much space left.
Hobbes taking a nap while we were out working a our Biloxi jobs.

H is working tearing a house apart and I am working at the free clinic again. The clinic has been moved to a different temporary location to give the church back their space. Another site is under renovation and will be open sometime this winter.
