RVing Fulltime with Tom and Ella

2019 April 03 were Wednesday

2019 April 03 Wednesday in Liberty Hill, Texas

It started out at 53° under this overcast sky and topped out at 66° under the same overcast sky and was still at 63° at 10 p.m. with foggy mist.

Around 9 a.m. we arrived at the fellowship hall at Cross Tracks Church where our Grandies group meets every Wednesday.

One of the most important (in my opinion) parts of our meeting is our rollcall. It is how we stay connected with each other as we share our joys and concerns over the past week and near future events. This was also the week that we celebrate birthday birthdaysand anniversaries for the month. Of course we also played games after the official part its the meeting was over.

Once we were home, I dipped into our 4Patriots food supply and made some Farmers Market Corn Chowder. This is part of my continued testing of their emergency 3 month food supply. The soup was good though with a little more blank pepper than I put on my home made chowder.

In the evening Ella and I returned to the church for choir practice. This was also the day that we celebrated choir members birthdays and anniversaries with a communal meal.

Then we rehearsed music for the next few weeks. Choir is one of the things I’ll miss most over the next four or five months when we go back to Iowa for the summer.

No sunset and no photo this evening.

G’night and God bless.

2019 April 02 Tuesday in Georgetown and Liberty Hill, Texas

39° and mostly clear all day which helped it reach 70°.

There weren’t many people at the senior center door lunch today.

The sun was low in the west and glowing in these windows as we started our weekly prayer meeting in the chaple.

G’night and God bless.

2019 April 01 Monday in Georgetown and Liberty Hill, Texas

37° and mostly cloudy in the morning which is only 5° warmer than at our summer home in Grimes, Iowa. Is the weather playing an April Fools joke on us?

It was games and lunch at the Georgetown senior center

Then we stopped at our orthopedic surgeons to make the final payment for Ella’s shoulder and to make an appointment for me to get steroid injections in my knees.

Then, believe it our not, we had to return to Wal-Mart … AGAIN. Seriously, we had a good reason. Ella had another prescription at the pharmacy PLUS we were purchasing some items for a new ministry at Cross Tracks Church. From time to time homeless people or families come seeking food. Most of the time we refer then to Operation Liberty Hill, which the church supports. However, there are times when OLH is closed and the people are in need now. Our various Sunday school classes are purchasing items for the pastor to hand out to folks in need.

G’night and God bless.

2019 March 31 Sunday in Liberty Hill, Texas

40° and cloudy in the morning. And 56 was the high.

This is the sky half an hour after time for sunrise.

And this other photo was taken around 11

Normally Cross Tracks Church has two worship services on Sunday morning: a nine o’clock traditional and an eleven o’clock contemporary with Sunday school at ten. Four times a year there are five Sundays in a month. When those fifth Sundays occur we have a combined service at eleven that is a mix of traditional and contemporary. And then we have a potluck after worship. This was the fifth Sunday in March.

If you are interested in the service you can follow the link below

The overcast sky gave way to pure sunshine around 2:30.

And as the sun slowly sat in the west the temperature began to drop into the 40s.

G’night and God bless.

2019 March 30 Saturday in Liberty Hill, Texas

61° and partly cloudy in the morning. It became cloudier, windier, and colder as the day went on. The high of 64° was around ten this morning and it was 48° at ten at night.

I did some outside work this morning whole Ella slept in. I did some repair work on the spit where the awning support attaches to the wall. I also emptied the bed of the pickup to make room for bags of aluminum cans that our Grandies group has collected. Friday we will take then to the recycler inn Marble Falls. We will also eat at the Blue Bonnet Cafe.

After spending around $300 on Wednesday’s shopping it is hard to believe that we needed to go back again today. Mostly out was for Ella’s prescription that brought us back but we still found other things that we could spend money on while we waited for the prescriptions tho fee filled.

No sunset photo because there was no noticeable sunset.

G’night and God bless.

2019 March 29 Friday in Liberty Hill was Leander, Texas

61° and cloudy in the morning and 73° for the high.

No morning photo due to overcast sky.

After breakfast we went to the laundromat to do a mountain our laundry.

We waited until sporting break was over to do laundry. We thought the place might be more active with kiss home from school. There were only two other people fought laundry today.

Another burnt orange sky.

G’night and God bless.

2019 March 27 Wednesday in Liberty Hill, Texas

47° and mostly cloudy. Reached 74° still mostly cloudy. For the most part I liked clouds because they make for more dramatic sunrise and sunset photos. However, if it it’s completely overcast there are no photos at all.

We attended Grandies things morning and went grocery shopping in the afternoon. Yep, the sky wethe most exciting part of the whole day. Hey, they can’t all be note worthy.

G’night and God bless.

2019 March 28 Thursday in Liberty Hill, Texas

57° and mostly cloudy in the morning but managed to make it to 75° under mostly cloudy skies.

There was the tiniest bit of color this morning and them nothing but cloud.

Some of the 43 seniors gathered at the Over the Hill Gang for food, fellowship, and fun today.

Ella brought out two sets of cards with which to play canasta. One set of six decks, which we didn’t need because there were only four of us playing today. So the set of four decks was enough.

Later in the afternoon Ella had physical therapy. She is gaining strength and flexibility every day.

The sun refused to show it’s face again this evening.

G’night and God bless.

2019 March 26 Tuesday in Liberty Hill, Georgetown and Cedar Park, Texas

50° and clear. It reached 77°.

We were on our way to the VA before the sun came up.

The VA clinic clinic wss so close to getting sunshine when we arrived, notice the sun on the treetops.

I used the kiosk to get checked in. It seems to only work part of the times that I’ve tried to use it. A great idea poorly executed.

I got in to see the doctor amazingly quick. My lab results were all good. However, there was a slight problem, there was no results for an A1C test. That’s the test to determine how well my diabetes is controlled. It’s kind of a big thing. The reality meant I had to go through the blood draw again. It didn’t Dawnpin me until later that I’ve always been required to be fasting for those tests … and today I wasn’t. I wonder how badly that skews the results.
