California

I always thought that I would never place the California state sticker on our map of places we visited with our current motorhome. But unfortunately I'm going to be wrong. Barb got word a couple of nights ago that her godfather in the Modesto/Stockton, CA area had passed away. She has always been close to her godparents. We'll be leaving early on the morning of October 11th on a fast trip out there and back. Barb's sister and brother-in-law from Arkansas will be riding out and back with us.

Choctaw, OK

We have relocated to a friend's house in Choctaw, OK while Barb is waiting for her shoulder surgery in November. He doesn't have an electrical hookup for us, so, I installed a 50 amp service on the side of his house next to his meter. For sewer hookup, he has a sewer cleanout about 70 feet from our motorhome, so, using a SewerSolution and a 75' 3/4" hose, we have a dump.

BJ Bishop

We received word a couple of days ago that our friend B.J. Bishop of Marfa, TX passed away last Saturday. BJ was the owner of Loma Paloma RV Park & Golf Course in Presidio, TX where we stayed for 5 winters. BJ will surly be missed by all that knew him.

Surgery Update

After much deep thought of life-long restrictions and a support group meeting, Barb has cancelled her gastric bypass surgery that was scheduled for tomorrow. Her shoulder surgery is still on for sometime in November. Our other veteran friends who's surgeries we mentioned in earlier post were preformed with no complications.
