Oasis in the Desert

Along the way we met a man who.....

The second we arrived in Round Rock, TX and parked our 5er, the man next to us came out his door and was ready to visit.  He was an elderly gentleman, maybe in his mid 80's, but perky and seemingly happy.  As Herb was setting up the sewer, water, etc, the "young" traveler was right behind him wanting to visit.  All it took to get him out the door was for us to appear outside.  We finally ask him why he was in the Austin area and he said he was visiting his son.  He said we drove to Austin three times a year from Nashville for a visit with "our" son.  Now, we are curious!  Is your wife in the rig?  Oh yes, he says.  She had a stroke 15 years ago, but we always travel together.  Will we get to meet her?  Oh no, he says.  She is being fed through a tube and requires oxygen to keep her breathing.  Wow, I think.  This is a happy man with a lot of responsibility.  Another interesting person we met along the road. The next IP (interesting Person) will be in Mexico.  So, stay tuned.
