Back in Texas, Yeah!!!!!

On Monday we drove from Kinder, LA to just west of Houston, TX. It was great to be back in our home state after a four month absence. The drive through and around Houston wasn't fun but we made it okay and found our way to the Houston West RV park in Brookshire, TX. On Tuesday we continued our way west to Boerne, Tx which is north and west of San Antonio. There are twenty rigs here for our rally and we hope to have a great time. I played golf at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch on Wednesday and had a wonderful time on a great golf course! This is a jack Nicklaus Signature course and is one of the best I have seen from him. I am not usually a Nicklaus fan but this course has changed my mind. The conditioning was great, even though the area has been in a severe drought for many months, and the layout very challenging. There was a great mixture of holes and many wonderful vistas from the tops of hills. On Thursday five of the guys from the rally played golf at The Buckhorn Golf Course in nearby Comfort, TX. We had a great time on a course that showed much more damage from the drought than I saw yesterday. They had managed to keep the greens in good condition but the tees and fairways were definitely lacking in grass and sure played hard and fast. Our first get together for the rally was Thursday evening with a happy hour and then sandwiches for dinner. On Friday evening the group went out to Po Po's restaurant, a local favorite, for dinner but we were not able to go as Tippy was having difficulty with the meds she was taking for her tooth problem. It started to bother her again when we got to Boerne so she went to see a dentist and was told she has a cavity under a crown. The dentist gave her a prescription for some antibiotics and some pain medicine. She didn't take the pain pills but she was having a reaction to the antibiotics. She contacted the dentist and was given a different prescription which she is now trying. We had our business meeting this morning, Saturday, and there will be an Ice Cream Social this afternoon. This evening we will have another happy hour followed by a catered dinner of barbecued brisket, sausage, beans, potato salad, and a dessert. We should be full again! Tomorrow we will be off to Marble Falls, TX, only about 75 miles, where we will stay two nights before heading home on Tuesday. We got some rain here last evening and today but I don't know about home. Hopefully they will also get some rain this weekend. Enjoy the pica and be safe.
