NAS Corpus Christi

We got up Friday morning and drove to NAS Corpus Christi. The FamCamp there is located on a peninsula so it is always pretty windy. There is all kinds of wildlife around. Here is a heron standing by a tree looking out toward the bay side of the peninsula.

Here are two of the dozen or so jack rabbits that live in the RV Park.

This is really a beautiful setting. Standing in our site we can see the water in the bay close to where the fishing pier is. Note the four jack rabbits.

This is the view looking toward the munitions depot and the Laguna Madre.

And here is a view of one of Corpus Christi's beautiful sunsets.

Saturday night we went to the Texas Exes Corpus Christi game watch for the UT/OU game watch. We got to see many of our friends and meet some new ones. The game was nerve wracking but we won.

Tuesday Wayne had an appointment with his cardiologist. He did an echocardiogram and said that yes Wayne's heart had decreased in function some but not as dramatically as the doctor in Missoula had thought. His functioning is not bad enough to put a three lead pace maker in nor for a heart transplant. For now there is nothing to do but to go on with life as it is.

Wednesday morning I left for Houston for a week to be with my daughter whose husband has decided that he doesn't want to be married any more. Please pray for her.

Wayne and Trouble are being bachelors for the week and Wayne will work on potty training. Also one of his close fishing buddies was banished from his house for his wife's all girl reunion so he brought his motorhome out to the base as well. Last I heard they were planning on being on the beach fishing this morning.

We left Georgetown this morning to go to San Antonio, TX. When we are in San Antonio we always stay at Fort Sam Houston Army Base in their FamCamp. To get to the RV park you have to drive past the on-base cemetery. It is a somber reminder every time of the multitude of young men and women who gave their lives that you and I might live the lives we do today. We followed a military funeral into the cemetery.

Wayne had an appointment with his dermatologist this afternoon. He checked the area where he had cut out a cancer last spring and froze a few more places today. We got to eat at one of our favorite restaurants, Sea Island, while we were there. They used to have a restaurant in Corpus Christi but it closed so we always try to eat there when we are in town.

Trouble before and after

Here are two pictures of Trouble after we got him home.

His beautiful long hair was appropriate for the show ring but not for living in a motorhome. He kept getting stickers and grass, etc. stuck in it so off to the groomer's he went. Here are two after the grooming pictures.

It really shows off how tiny he really is. He loves to be outside in his play area. Of course he prefers to have one of us sitting right there as well but he will stay and play while we are doing other things outside.

Trouble

We went to Corpus Christi on Monday and saw Wayne's cardiologist. He scheduled him for an echocardiogram for October 20th. Hopefully we will know more then.

Meet "Trouble." He is a Maltese and is 11 months old. We have had him for a week now. We were told he was 90 percent housebroken. Wayne says he is 90 percent trained to go in the house and not on the piddle pad.


The week has been taken up with shopping for Trouble and taking him to the vet for a well check.

No game last weekend. This weekend we play Colorado here. We are highly favored to win.
