PASSPORT ISSUES

After much back and forth, I finally got my Passport Card! I had to get a certified copy of my birth certificate from the state of Texas. which came back without my name! Many calls later to both the State and Passport Office, I went to the Court House in Johnson County,TX to try to get a certified copy. Well guess what, they had one, however it wasn't filed until 1944! This was the only place I could have ever got one. I called the Passport Office to report that I had gotten my certified copy, only to be told it must be filed within one year of birth! I was so mad, couldn't even be civil to the guy! I told him it was not my fault the Doctor didn't file it. I was told to send it in anyway, which I did. I was told they may not OK, it. Well, lo and behold I did receive my Passport Card!!! So I am now able to go over to the Pink Store to eat with the LoW bunch in Deming,NM! Never give up!!

Storms!

Last night and early this morning most of central Texas was hit with some terrific storms. Some area close to me received winds up to 80 miles per hour! Here in my park Thousand Trails at Whitney,TX we mostly had very hard rain. It really pounded me. Of course in a RV it sounds much worse. The wind did blow, but I don't think it was 80 mph! The wind is one thing that really scares me. I just can see my rig rolled over, and everything I own gone! That did happen to a friend of mine. She was travelling through Raton Pass,NM when a burst of wind caught her rig, taking it off the hitch, landed in the ditch along the highway. She wasn't hurt, but lost just about everything in the rig.

When I looked out my kitchen window this morning, I was surprised to see a lonely cow! Do you think the wind blew him in? You never know what you will see down here.

Watching the Hurricanes

Just watching the hurricanes as they form in the Atlantic. Hope they miss FL where my daughter and grandsons are.
Today would have been 47 years my husband and I were married, had he lived. Just a sad day. So many memories. We had lost our daughter in Aug. then just six months later, my husband.
Hard to remember these things, but it did open a new chapter in my life. I have enjoyed meeting folks that are just like me. Widow, or widowed, not fun I admit but we do learn to survive and move forward. Grateful for my family and friends.
