Jerry's Back Home

After several weeks of physical fitness and rehab, Jerry finally got to come home. She still has to take things easy for a while and can't go back to work yet.

She has to go see the Doctor in a week to see just what she can and can't do. She still has the rod in her left arm and we guess she'll have in for quite some time.

She really enjoys going to the hot tub and exercise her arm in the hot water. She goes at least three times a day

There still isn't too much she can do around the motor home so I have to do the things she can't and after working for a full shift it really gets to be a little much for an old man.

Buckhorn is going to host the fourth annual Data Storm rally in October and from what I've heard they will have a full park of "blue lights". I've talked to Kathy the owners wife about it and she has made arrangements for me to be off during the rally. She knows I have a Data Storm Satellite and have never been able to attend a rally before. That was really nice of her to do this.

We've been keeping real busy with all the cleaning we've had to do. During the summer we have a lot of rallies and families with children that are here and that means more work for us. The families with children don't seem to supervise them and they make all sorts of messes. Oh well that's what we're here for.

Today, Jerry fell in the motor home and broke her left humorous bone. As it turned out it was a spiral fracture. The paramedic took her to the local hospital and the Dr. has her set for surgery tomorrow. He's going to install a metal rod in her left arm and she'll be in the hospital for about a week.

Jerry has been released from the hospital and has a weird type of pad under her arm. She will be sent to a "rehab" facility where she'll undergo an extensive physical fitness and rehab program. They expect she'll be there for about six or eight weeks.

Since she can't work, I've had to double up on the jobs and will be working five days per week now. It has really been hard on her cause she can't have her lap top computer and of course can't play Bridge. That hurts worse than the physical fitness she has to undergo twice a day.

This has really been hard on both of us, she is in a rehab facility that is not the nicest place in the world and I have to work from 8:00 am to around noon and then head up to be with her for a few hours. Hopefully with the help of God we'll get through all this and come out stronger.

I guess for the next several weeks all I've have time to do is work and be with Jerry so that means I won't be doing much if any work on the Blog. Please be patient.

Buckhorn Lake RV Park

We've been workamping since we got here and really haven't done too much else. Today the park is going to celebrate the fourth of July with a picnic and some fire works tonight. The nice part of it is that everything is free.

The picnic was held around the "Barn" and they had hamburgers, hot dogs, Texas baked beans, potatoe salad, chips and dip and a big assortment of cold drinks.

Jerry found a place where cactus is blooming and she wants some pictures taken and also wants me to share them with everyone. Here they are, enjoy.

This is not a cactus but it's pretty

We've been to a lot of places in the west and have seen many sunrises and sunsets, but I don't believe we've seen any more beautiful than those in the Texas Hill Country.

Here are some examples of the beautiful sunsets in the Texas Hill Country, I hope you enjoy them.

We have a real nice site, it's a large back-in with a large patio area. Behind us is a large open field that we can use to take Smokey for long walks, so far he seems to like it.

We have a large number of humming birds at out site and we had to increase the number of feeders to keep up. We have to fill them at least twice a week. It's a lot of fun to sit and watch them feed and see how territorial they are. I hope you like the pictures.

Buckhorn Lake RV Resort

After spending a couple of days in Las Cruces NM and driving half way across Texas we arrived at Buckhorn Lake RV Park .http://www.buckhornlake.com/ . We'll be here during the summer and maybe well into the fall. Our jobs will be cleaning the two rest rooms, laundry rooms, exercises room and the large "Barn" which is use for large rallies and special dinner parties.

Some sites along side Goat Creek

We'll be working for our site, laundry, propane and a discount at park store. We'll be working twenty hours each per week and we are to start at about 8:00 am and work for four hours each day. That is not too bad and we have plenty time to do some sight seeing or better yet enjoy the pool and hot tub.

Buckhorn Lake RV Resort is by far the best RV park in the entire hill country. The sites are long level concrete pads with a large patio and of course full hook ups. Also there is a "hot phone" at each site that allows calls to other sites and local calls at no charge. It can also serve as an answering service so if you get a call and are not at home you can retrieve it later by calling the office.

Everyone here is very friendly and helpful and that make being here nice.

We're a little tired from our trip since we had to fight a Texas head wind for over five hundred miles. We're going to rest and take a dip in the pool. More later...stay tuned.
