Several day's entries

Note: The entries will bunched together for a while since we won’t always have an internet connection.
Up to pack and exercise. I also went to exercise some 2 for 1 coupons at Whataburger. I got two taquitos, two breakfasts on a bun and a spicy chicken sandwich meal, giving me a Whataburger and a Justaburger. I returned home and cut the grass for the final time this season. I showered and took Evelyn to Knapp for her mammogram, while I went to get two six inch subs at Subway. Guess what? Yep. 2 for 1. I came back and got Evelyn to go home to start the dryer so we could make the bed for the renters. We took long enough that we finally just ate the Whataburger, the French fries and finished off the spinach/artichoke dip. We finished packing what we could remember and hooked up the car. We were off nearly two hours later than planned. We had no trouble driving up 281 through San Antonio. We thought we should eat at the original Rudy’s Barbecue in Leon Springs. There is a defunct dance hall across the road so we just packed in for the night. We walked to an HEB and bought a couple of items. I ran the car through the gears when we came back. We also noticed that the refrigerator had not been working since we left. The geniuses who filled the tank last week had failed to open the valve, preventing and propane from reaching the igniter. I fixed it and we played some Kings on the Corner before retiring. The overhead fan pulled a nice breeze through and we didn’t need to run the generator.
We arose and I went to Rudy’s again for coffee and a telephone book. I called BSF headquarters and found that our friends Paul and Karren [sic] Pentony were there volunteering. We unhooked the car and drove there thinking we would volunteer for the day. We stopped at Rafikki to make a donation and went on up the road where we met them. We planned to meet around 4 at our coach. We had to leave because I was wearing shorts, not in the accepted dress code for working in the printing department. I had intended to make another donation there, but their attitude wasn’t accepted by my donation department. We will donate to some other group that is more understanding. I could have driven back here and changed, but we went to a brand new elegant shopping mall instead. The prices there were frightening. Even more frightening was the number of people paying those prices. Handbags at Nieman Marcus: $300-2500! We spent an hour or so there and returned here to split a southwest chicken sandwich I had brought from Whataburger. We returned to the coach and waited for our guests. I drove the car to gas up at $2.499--quite possibly the lowest price we will see for some time. We talked with Paul and Karren in our coach for a while and then went across the freeway to a very nice Mexican restaurant. We shared a grilled southwestern salmon that was delicious. They had to rush off because they were changing houses. They house sit for several people. We took a walk and came home for a small dish of ice cream.
We got up and left Thursday morning. Praise God the auxiliary batteries started the coach so we could retract the slides, hook up the car and leave around 8. We did nothing but drive from Leon Springs to Van Horn, TX. Evelyn wanted to stay in a campground so we did. Next door was a motel with wireless internet. I came over and hooked on. The weather was much cooler today and, of course, windier from the west. We did have a pleasant day of driving and pray for one tomorrow.
