Fort Bragg Army Base

May 8 - 14.…We are now military folks -- at least we are parked on a large military base! We are currently staying at the Fort Bragg Travel Camp on base. Most of our week has been busy with Dixie’s doctor appointments. Wednesday was the Endoscopy - the good news is the problem is not in the stomach. Friday was the surgical consult where it was determined that this coming Tuesday would be the day to remove Dixie’s gallbladder! We are hoping that will solve the problem. We are thankful we can get it all taken care of in the next 2 weeks while we are here. We had the grandkids again from Thursday to Sunday. Thursday we stayed with them while Mom & Dad went to a Brigade Ball and Friday they came to the motor home to ‘camp’ with us again. Activities for the weekend was Nicholas's soccer game, hiking in the woods, a little baseball, a campfire, and lots of exploring. This weekends 'catch' was 2 Gecko’s! (they‘re quite the campers!). The big view at this park -- Army Helicopters coming in for landing! We are right next to the landing strip for Simmons Army Air Field! I haven't been able to get a good picture of it yet but will put one on as soon as I do. Today we had a wonderful Mothers Day dinner at Brandon & Katherine's. We are sure thankful for the time we have been able to spend with the family! We will be here for another 2 weeks so plan to spend alot more time with them~
