MEDICAL, MOVIE, THANKSGIVING AND CARPET CLEANING

Currently in Kerrville TX (Low 51 Partly Sunny; Breezy High 63) 

This past week Jo had the MRI of her back and continued physical therapy on her foot. It wasn't all medical as we saw 'Instant Family'.


Inspired by a true story the movie simultaneously tugged at your heart strings while being comedic. Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne were wonderful but the grandmas (Margo Martindale and Julie Hagerty) were terrific. A very good movie that we wholeheartedly recommend although there is some adult language, but like some movies it wasn't over the top.

We had a Thanksgiving meal with just the two of us so we could have leftovers which we finished off yesterday.

When you live fulltime in an RV you still have household chores and on Black Friday instead of shopping we cleaned the carpet with our Rug Doctor Portable Spot Cleaner. Believe us, crawling around on the floor with the spot cleaner is much better than being jostled by the Black Friday shoppers. 

Till next time,

Bob and Jo

FOOD, DIFFERENT VET, PHYSICAL THERAPY, MRI AND SPORTS

Currently in Kerrville TX (Low 41 Cloudy High 58) 

We ate at one of our favorites this last week, Rio Ranch Cafe.


We had a scare with Tiger and had to take her to her vet. We caught an infection real early and she has one more shot next week so she seems to be OK. Jo is still dealing with her back pain so the pain center scheduled a MRI to get a better look at her current condition. They plan to do a steroid shot series to help with her pain so we are hoping that works. She is also getting physical therapy for her foot sprain.

This time of the year is one of the best times of the year sports wise. College football is winding down and college basketball is starting. This last weekend had Iowa State in a meaningful game in November with Big 12 title implications. Although it did not turn out like Bob wanted it still has been a great year for the Cyclones with a couple more games to play and then a bowl game. On Sunday the Iowa State women won the Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT) by handily beating the 24th ranked Miami. Tonight the Iowa State men are playing Arizona in the Maui Invitational and set a record for the most tickets bought by any school for the Maui Invitational.

It is a great time for sports for sure, second only to March Madness in Bob's opinion. 

We would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Till next time,

DOCTORS, VET AND EATING OH MY

Currently in Kerrville TX (Low 44 Considerable Cloudiness High 58) 

We have been in Kerrville for a little over a week and our time has been spent catching up with our doctors, a visit to the vet for one of our cats and of course eating at some of our favorite places.


 
We still have a few favorites to visit.


The next week will involve some more medical stuff and probably a steak at Mamacita's.
 
Till next time,

ON THE ROAD AGAIN - TO KERRVILLE TEXAS

Currently in Kerrville TX (Low 36 Sunny: Pleasant and Warmer High 72) 

After a couple nights in Llano Texas we departed yesterday and made it back to our winter location in Kerrville, also in Texas. For the first month of our stay we will be at the campground in Kerrville-Schreiner Park.


It was approximately 65 miles, this is the route we took.



We will be in Kerrville for a few months getting squared away with all of our doctors and vets, eating at our favorite places and finding some more, and exploring of the area.

Till next time,
