It’s been a week …

Let’s start with something pretty.

This bush has gotten so huge you can’t see our camper behind it! It sure is beautiful.

Last Saturday I experienced sudden extreme stomach pain right out of the blue. The ER quickly determined my problem and I was taken into surgery pretty fast. I had a 4.8 mm kidney stone that had torn a hole in my kidney – no wonder it hurt so bad! I spent the night in the hospital – you can imagine how fun that was. I got out Sunday and am recovering nicely at home.

Vic and I are busy tying up loose ends, stocking up on meds and other items so our trip will go smoothly.

We had disc brakes put on the camper to replace the crummy electric brakes. We also had a composting toilet installed. So far we love it and it’s going to make logistics a lot easier on the road.

I had a trip north planned to see my daughters and their families but the kidney stone episode ruined that plan.

We plan to leave by April 1. We are still working out the itinerary but a stop in Austin TX to see our friends Margo, Davey and Lilly is a definite part of the plan.
