In a Holding Pattern

Weeks have gone by since the last posting.  Halloween has come and gone and the days are cooler and there is a faint tinge of color in the leaves.  It is close enough to Thanksgiving to start thinking about the holiday meal shopping list.  Time to scout out where we can get a smoked turkey.

Still on crutches but the good thing is that John's arms and shoulders are getting buff.  Getting out and doing things is a little easier now that some stamina has been built up.  Orthopedist visits have been positive in that everything seems to be healing correctly and that no surgery will be required.  Whew!

Yet we still wait.  Wait for the healing process and wait for a an RV site to become available so that we can move out of the equestrian loop and into the full hook up loop.  We've been told by a gate attendant that after Thanksgiving it was looking promising for some of the long-term contractors to be moving on.  We'll keep our fingers crossed.  This paying someone to come and vacuum out our tanks is getting old, and expensive.  On their last visit the driver informed us that they would be doubling their fee and cutting their schedule in half.  Beginning December 1st they would only be coming once every two weeks.  Lucky for us that we have tanks large enough that we were already at once every two weeks but our fellow campers out here in the equestrian section are not equipped the same.  They are going to have to start practicing some extreme conservation.

Being laid up and not doing any hiking or sight-seeing there are no pictures for this post.  Well, I do have lots and lots of grand baby pics but nobody wants to see those except us.

Maybe the next post will be more interesting.
