My assignment in New Braunfels was supposed to last til after the first of the year. Unfortunately for me, but good for the nursing home I was working in, they were able to hire a full time, permenant SLP. So, of course this shortened my assignment considerably. My last day of work would be November 11.....just about half-way into my original contract. Kirk and I were able to fit in most of our doctor and dental appointments while there. However, we weren't able to spend as much time as we would have liked with old friends. The day afer arriving in NB, Dave made up his famous D & D BBQ. It was great to see many of our old neighbors. Rudy and Bev also visited us for a few days at the River Road campground. They were on their way to LA, among other places in their RV. It is always a good time when they are around.

Some of the other things we were able to fit in during our short stay in NB were a night out for dinner at the Riverwalk, the Randolph Airforce Base Airshow, Karin and Dave's 5th annual Halloween party (delicious eyeballs), fishing with Dave, Karin, Ava, and Dylan, visiting my ex co-workers, and fun evenings with Carmen, Cheryl, Edith, Gabriela, and Corrine. Oh yes, and of course WORK. Kirk was also able to fit in some golf lessons (thanks to Groupon), and some golf dates with friends. Although short-lived, we enjoyed our brief stay/job in NB and hope to return soon.

Camyrn, Austine, Jordan, and Ryss. What a darling family.

On our way to Texas 9-2011

After leaving Wisconsin, we stopped for a few days in Iowa to visit with Kirk's mom. While there we celebrated Al's birthday (Kirk's sister's fiance). We were also able to visit with Kirk's daughter, Heather and her grandson, Damon. We were also able to help mom rearrange some things in her home. It's always nice to visit with them all!

After leaving Gladbrook, we drove to Des Moines, Iowa and spent the day and evening with Nate and Lindsey (Kirk's son). They had moved to Iowa from TX just this past year. We had a fun time together. The next day we drove to Shenendoah, IA to visit with Nate's daughters (our granddaughters) and their family. We ate at Mexico, and spent a fun evening with them.

The next day we drove as far as Windstar Casino in OK which is on the TX/OK border. They have an RV park where we have stayed before. It's a great place to stay. While there, we ate at the Toby Keith restaurant in the casino. We then drove to Grapevine, TX near Rudy and Bev and spent some time with them and their grandson, Henry. We were also able to visit with Henry's mom and dad, Courtney and Dustin. Courtney was 9 months pregnant at the time and had their new son the next week.

I found out on our drive from Rudy and Bev's that my next work assignment would be in New Braunfels, TX. Kirk and I were really excited as we had stayed there before, and this was very close to where we used to live. We were excited that we would be able to visit many of our friends, and also get many of our doctor/dental appointments taken care of. After arriving in New Braunfels we stayed at the River Ranch RV Resort under the bridge on I-35 for a few weeks, then spent the rest of our stay at Camp Huaco on the Guadalupe River on River Road. This was a much more quiet and pleasant spot.

Kirk and Reina.....total Nerds!

Chaparral Campground holds an annual golf outing for all the seasonals on Labor Day weedend. This year the theme was Nerd. Now for some of us it didn't take much to look OR act the part. Afterwards, there was a potluck at the shelter with meat provided by Dennis and Dianne. We had a great time!

The week before we left WI we were able to spend more time with Ben, Nick, Krisity, Robyn, Adyson, Bella, and Isaac. We had a wonderful time on the Marsh, and enjoyed the time we were able to spend with them this summer.

Our last night at Chaparral was mostly quiet. We ate at the supper club at the campground with Dennis and Dianne, and some of the seasonal's. Our time at Chaparral Campground will never be forgotten. It has definitely been one of the most enjoyable places we have been in our RV. Kirk totally loved being campground host for the summer. Thank you Dennis and Dianne for allowing us to share your little piece of Heaven. We will definitely be missing you and returning as soon as we can.
