CASINO CRUISE

Yesterday we went on the Texas Treasure cruise. The bus picked us up at 9:30 at the park, and brought us back at 6:30. It was a long and bad day. We both lost. At one time I was ahead $50, but that didn't last. In fact I cashed out - but there is nothing to do and you can't leave - so I want back and lost $80.

Kidneys

I went to see Dr. Gonzalez this morning.to get a lupron shot. My creatinine was up to 2.16 . But she said ther was nothing to worry about. It would fluctuate, up and down a little. The red blood count is still low also. My PSA was 0.2.

Fixing tires

Yesterday I was fixing tires on the bikes. Patsys needed a tube and tire on the back, and mine needed a tube on the front. After I had them done, I thought I'd see if I could ride. I've been afraid to try because I have so much trouble walking. I tend to drift to the right, and correcting tires me out . So I pushed off carefully - and yahoo -- I can ride. I can't walk but I can ride. So now Patsy can have the car more. I was useing it to go to exercuse in the morning and pool in the afternoon. The weather has been great this year - sunny and warm. Today Dec 7 it's 82,. Last night it got down to 70-( no covers, windows open). I talked to Less and Doris this morning , and they are going to Mexico with us. That makes eight of us.

We have signed up to go to copper canyon on Feb. 15 for a 9 day trip.So far Jim & Shirley, Peter & Lyn, and maybe Les & Doris are going with us.

Trailer problems

Last week on friday pat could smell sewer behind the trailer . Upon checking I could see it dripping underneath. I callled rv repair and they came out monday. They had to take the underbelly off and replaced the black water valve. That seemed to work, but have not recieved a bill yet. The name of the service was cooper's mobile rv service. Shirley Barrett Recommeded them.

It turned cold today -Thanksgiving- .Yesterday it was 87 and today it only got to 57. The bill for the black water tank was $307.97.

THANKSGIVING

Today we stuffed ourselves with turkey and dressing. It was good, but we both ate to much.

We got to Kivelas Sat. afternoon, spent Sunday going to church and just loofing. We left monday, went to Springfield and down 65. That was a mistake, 65 thru Arkanasas is all curves to Little Rock. By noon when we wanted to eat we were at Marshall. We pulled into a resterant parking lot only to find it closed. Next door was a livestock aucton barn and a hole in the wall that served food- they said.We ate what they a\had and moved on. Then we stopped in Hope for the nite. Checked out the motel room, and it looked ok. Went out to eat and when we got back the bath tub had dirty water in it.They opened the bathroom next door for us. By morning out tub was nearly full. So much for Arknasas.
We arrived in Rockport - Wed. Oct 31. With the help of our neighbor Jim, we got set up. The next day the ground fault in the bath room tripped. That cut of thej plugs in the kitchen and the refg. I used the air drier ever day untill tuesday.The fog lifted and they died out and worked. I think it was the outside plug. Other than that the biggest problem has been the live oak trees. The acorns have been bombing our trailer bed room.
Nov. 15. I saw Dr. Gonzalez Tue., she took blood and the news is good. My creatinine is down to 1.84 and my PSA is 0.3 Saw Dr. Bowen and he approved my taking chelation. Will start withLilly tue. Nov. 20.
