May 6-11 Mackenna"s Graduation

 On Wednesday we met Kenna for brunch in College Station. After that she drove us around so we would know where to go and park for her Nursing Ceremony at Rudd Auditorium and then later at Reed Arena.  That evening we just chilled around camp. Thursday morning we got to Kennas condo at 8:30 am. We took her car to the nursing ceremony because its much easier to park than my truck. There were 150 in the school of nursing.  Mackenna received the " Daisy Award" for the nursing school. She was very surprised as no one knew. After that we went and had lunch on campus. After lunch I drove all the old people to Reed Arena. Kenna and the rest of the family walked. We had Susans Handicap placard so we were able to park very close and get right in.  It was a full house and took about 3 hours.  After that we all went back to Kennas condo for a family supper. Mike/Kristi had Rudys Bbq catered in.  It was a great day. Lots of pictures but I'm only going to put a few on here. Friday we were pretty tired and didn't move much all day. For some reason my left heel started hurting and I was hobbling around.  Saturday was not much better, I pretty much stayed in my chair all day. I was somewhat better Sunday morning.  We decided to load up and go home.  There was supposed to be bad weather that night . Thought I would get loaded up while it was still dry.  It was an easy drive home. My foot was too bad to unload anything but I did unhook the truck. When we got up Monday morning we had about 2 inches of rain. Somerville had received about 5 inches I was glad we missed that.

May 4-5 On The Road Again Lake Somerville

 It"s been a rough year so far. Susan has had health issues with two hospital stays and our house AC finally died after 26 years.  We put a complete new AC/furnace and duct work in. Susan is improving steadily so we are making our first trip in awhile.  Our oldest granddaughter is graduating from Texas A/M so we are staying on Lake Somerville and then going to graduation from there. We got on the road Monday morning. It was an easy drive. We stopped in Chapell Hill and had lunch. It"s one of our favorite places to stop as the little cafe is good and I can pick up a little sausage for the trip. There is also plenty of room to park the truck and trailer. We pulled into the park about 2:00.  We got in site 15 which is nice and long, shaded with a great view of the lake. It was overcast with a nice breeze. I didn't have to cook supper as we had plenty of leftovers from lunch. Tuesday was another nice day.  Cooper and I took several walks. We saw lots of deer feeding thruout the park.  We drove over to Rocky Creek Coe Park to look around. It's a much bigger park the Yegua where we are staying. After that we drove to the Nails Creek campground in the Lake Somerville State Park .. You definitely have to be going there to find it. Its an equestrian park and most of the campsites have corrals for your horses. There is a 13 mile trail to the other campground which is Birch Creek. Verizon has no cell service in this area so we wouldn't stay here but its well kept.   We just chilled around in camp the rest of the evening. We just ran to Dairy Queen in Somerville for supper.
