[I have decided to give a short paragraph for each year on this page, and in the Daily Journal for each year I also give a synopsis of that year with links to my Blog for places that we had visited. If you are interested in reading my Journal, you can click on each individual year. Click HERE to read the early years]
So far in 2020, we are not going anywhere. The whole world was invaded by an insidious virus called Covid-19, which originated in China in December. We were already at Tres Rios in Glen Rose, Texas since October, and now we are heading into April and are stuck in Texas with vacation plans on hold. In August and September we decided to take a short vacation to Amarillo, Texas for a week as we had never been there before. For Christmas we drove down to Houston to visit with Josh and family, then at the end of December continued east toward Florida. You can read about our travels in my Blog called Our Travels during 2020.
We went to Florida for the Tin Can Tourists rally that is held at the end of February 2021, but they had cancelled it. We went to Sertoma Youth Ranch anyway along with some of our friends. From Florida we went up into South Carolina and Georgia visiting with friends and family. We headed west again but got stopped short when Jim's PSA count came back very high, and the doctor told us to make it back to Texas for a biopsy. The biopsy turned out negative but it turned into a very bad testicular infection which lasted a few months. We went to Houston for Thanksgiving and while playing dominos one evening, Jim wiped his right eye and ended up with a retinal detachment. We drove back to Glen Rose to get it fixed there instead of Houston. You can read about our travels in my Blog called Our Travels during 2021.
We stayed at Tres Rios in Glen Rose, Texas dealing with Jim's eye and doctor appointments for most of 2022. In October we headed out and took our time getting to Florida because Jacklyn was getting married in December and obviously, we needed to be there. We made it her house by Thanksgiving and stayed in their side yard for a week before going to River Oaks RV Park in Ruskin for the month of December. We stayed in Florida until the end of February before heading north. You can read about our travels in my Blog called Our Travels during 2022 and 2023.
During 2024 we stayed put because of Jim's prostate cancer and all the tests and treatments he was going through. We purchased a permanent lot at Whitney Resorts in April and spent our time there until the end of October when we had to head out for Jim's cancer treatment. From there we went to Tres Rios, then Houston, and from there south Texas in January 2025. You can read about Our Travels During 2024.
We were still at Jetstream (Space Center Houston) RV Park in Houston, Texas during the first couple of weeks of January 2025. From there we headed to southern Texas so we could stay out of the cold, winter weather that was coming down to encompass the U.S. We did not totally avoid the winter vortex that hit Texas; we were in Fredericksburg when it hit us. We got back to our site in Whitney, Texas at the end of February. In June we went back to Houston for our granddaughter's confirmation, then to Tres Rios for two weeks. We are now traveling north with our final destination at Cody, Wyoming before heading back south toward Texas. You can read about Our Travels for 2025.
