Going To Texas - Maybe

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 33 degrees, high 52 degrees, clear skies

It looks like this area is in for some colder weather over the next few days. As I write this post at 2130 hours, the temperature is already down to 33 degrees, and will probably be in the high 20s in the morning. Brrrr!

Tomorrow, Carolyn has a followup visit with the doctor that is treating the nodules on the calves of her legs. She will have some stitches taken out, receive some injections in the area of the nodules that should help shrink or remove them, and get a report on all the lab work that has been done. If there are no complications and the doctor okays it, we will be leaving here after the doctor's visit on our way to Texas to see our family doctor for our yearly physicals. In addition, we will visit our dentist for our periodic dental checkups. The doctor is in Glen Rose, and we will visit friends while there. The dentist is in Bay City, and we will visit our daughter Lori and her family, as well as my brother and his wife, and other friends.

We're looking forward to the chance to do a little traveling and see family and friends. The doctor and dentist? Nice folks, but we could bear missing them. Oh, well, it is that time of the year for all that stuff to be done, so we might as well get it done.

Since we knew that we might be leaving tomorrow, we spent part of the day doing the few things we could in preparation for leaving. I dumped the holding tanks and moved some stuff around in the basement so it will travel better. After finishing those little tasks, I went out to the house and checked things there, with no problems found. It would be nice if it sold while we are gone. Later in the day, we went to Birmingham and picked up Thomas from his visit with his dad over the weekend. By the time we got home, ate supper, and took care of a few more things, it was time to relax and get ready for bed. It should be a good night for staying warm.

More later, be safe.
