Yesterday morning we left early, about 6:30, from Jerry and Marlene's home. They have been wonderful and supportive during our stay while we daily looked in on Mike and kept Sue and boys company throughout Mike's medical crisis. Mike had his quadruple by pass surgery and now has all tubes removed and is walking several times each day and expects to go home tomorrow. What a blessing modern surgery is. His attitude is good, and he will work hard to quickly be on the road to recovery.
Since we thought that Mike was out of danger, we returned home to Kerrville. It was a long 10 or 11 hour drive, and we were glad to get into town before dark. As we pulled off the freeway, we noticed a buck deer ready to cross our exit road right in front of us. We slowed down, and of course he ran right in front of us and started across the freeway as well. Hopefully, he got across without injuring anyone including himself. Deer are a terrific nuisance here and cause frequent accidents. The local saying is, "Not if, but when." Consequently, we drive very defensively in this area at all times.
It was good to fall asleep in our own bed. Happy travels.
