Getting ready to go back to Texas

Since the last post, we have had a pretty quiet month.  We have caught up with family and friends. We've had lunch with Boyd and Helen at Thornton Winery in Temecula, my Orange HS gang in San Clemente and next week we will have lunch with Ken and Mo in Laguna. Part of the time was spent here with workmen fixing our upper deck that had developed a lot of dry rot over the 30+ years since this place was built. They did a great job and we now feel safe out on the deck.  

Today we went to the San Diego Zoo for the first time this year.  I always enjoy that and it is so large that you can see something different each time you go. We spent about 3-4 hours until we got tired and came home.  Next week, we hope to get out to the Wild Animal Park, which is owned by the zoo, but gives a different experience, a little like seeing the animals in the wild.

We will be flying back to Sugar Land on October 1. I will be having an epidural steroid injection again and Val has several doctor and dental appointments set up.  She is also looking to purchase a house sometime this fall or winter.

We plan to go to Florida for a couple of weeks in October to check out the rental condo that is in Sally's Family Trust.  We will be driving and we will overlap with Jimmy and Teresa who will be coming to Florida at the end of the October.
