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.

Happy 12th Birthday

Our granddaughter, Ellery, is 12 today. Happy Birthday and Valentine's Day!

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.

Rodeo

Calf roping, this one got away.

Hummingbird

She is sitting on her nest, this area is in the wash just across the road from our campground.
Another angle of the nest.
Can just barely see her.
A view from below.

I tried to get a shot of the egg she was sitting on, but I couldn't get it down low enough to be able to look thru the lens and see the egg. Just click on the picture to enlarge so you can see the bird better.
