Dentist Checkups

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 48 degrees, high 60 degrees, clear skies, windy

A cold front came through the area late last night, dropping the temperatures to cooler levels. It feels good to have less humidity, but that wind sure is cold!

We have used the same dentist in Bay City for more than 15 years. We will miss our association with him and his staff, especially his hygienist. We haven't told them that we have purchased a new home base in Alabama, in the event that we don't find another dentist that we like. We can always come back here when it's time for our checkups as long as Lori and her family live here. Anyway, today was the day we had our six month checkups. We had good checkups again, and were told to keep doing what we're doing.

Since we've been back down here, both of us are starting to get stuffy noses with a little cough. I guess the dreaded South Texas crud is starting to work on us. When we lived here, it seemed we were always fighting some type of respiratory ailment. While we were out of the area over the last six months, everything cleared up. It was great to not be sniffling and sneezing. Another week, and we'll be heading back to north Alabama, where we should get cleared up. I'm watching myself closely, as is Carolyn, because of having pneumonia back in the summer. I don't want to go through that again.

When our dentist appointments were finished, we took a short drive around town to see what changes had taken place since our last visit back in May. A few more businesses have closed, and a few more have opened. One thing we noted was that a new RV park is being built on Texas 60 on the north side of town. It appears that more than 100 spaces will be available in a fairly nice park. Once it opens, if the prices are reasonable, we think it will take a lot of business away from the older parks in town.

We went to Lori's house for a short visit late in the afternoon. While we were there, we picked up a set of dishes that they have keeping for us since we've been RVing. This set of dishes was one thing that Carolyn couldn't bear to get rid of, and now she will get to use them in the new home base. The nest is getting more feathers all the time.

More later, be safe.
