It has been a couple of months since I updated this blog. Much has happened. I am now almost 9 weeks from my hip replacement surgery and am doing very well.
Last week, Janice and I took a road trip to Beeville, Texas to visit our new Grandson, Gavin Mitchell Hough (Chris and Falenes new son). We first stopped in Casa Grande and stayed with Jean and Don overnight. Janice hadn't seen Jean and Kari's new homes. We had a really nice visit with everyone and then left on Sunday for Texas.
We had a pretty uneventful trip to San Antonio. We did pass by these rather unusual rock formations just east of Tuscan. Sharon had mentioned them to me, but no one else seemed to know what they were.
We made it to San Antonio about 12 hours after we left Casa Grande. We stopped for gas and dinner and then headed back to the freeway. Just before we got to the freeway, our car died in the middle of the street and Janice had to push us into a MacDonalds parking lot. After trying several things, Chris came up and jump started the car and it seemed to be working again. We drove down to Beeville and everything seemed to be working. I went to Wal-Mart the next morning to pick some stuff up and when I got in the car afterward, it died again. I got a new battery and hoped that it would be fine. Janice and I went to San Antonio on Wednesday to see the Alamo and the Riverwalk. After doing that, we started back to Beeville and 20 miles south of San Antonio, the car died again. Fortunately, we were able to glide into a picnic area and get under some shade. We had it towed 75 miles to Beeville where a garage changed the alternator and the car has worked ever since.
Here are some pictures of our trip to San Antonio and the Riverwalk and the Alamo.
