We are on our way home, last night we stayed in Sam's Club parking lot in Beaumont, TX, we had hail, heavy rain, then the winds picked up. Some of the gusts were so bad I jumped out of bed. When we got up this AM, the sun was out but very cool, only 45 degrees.The drive today was pleasant but long. It was sunny, windy but not bad enough to be a problem. Tonight we are staying in a State Park in MS, way back off the main road. Beautiful lake surrounded by cabins and campsites. Only $14.00 a night with full hook-up.
We went back to Rt. 49 to find a restaurant, guess what. Barbecue, big surprise in Mississippi. But it was really good.
I received a phone call from my brother-in-law today, Mom had a heart attack while shopping and did not survive. She was 88 years old, lived a full, long life and went out the way she wanted, quickly. They never were able to get a pulse during resuscitation efforts. This is Mom with our grandchildren, they called her GG. This was taken in 2007 when we had a get together for Christmas.
Hard life of a cat(well at least this cat)
We went to Round Rock, north of Austin, yesterday to visit with Michelle(my neice) and family. This is Aden and Azul having a little fun.
Hal is always ready to play games, giant Frisbee this time.
Clockwise, Carlos, Michelle, Aden, and Azul. We visited, played Marbles, cards, and ate. Michelle and Carlos made an excellent dinner, we ate outside in the warmth of a Texan evening. We are hoping that they can come down to New Braunfels to see us before we leave, the girls can swim, ride bikes and play some more games.
Guess what, we are not going to San Marcos. Spring break is going on in the area, so many families are camping, no sites available in San Marcos. When we left Fredericksberg this AM, I started calling, first the park we stayed at last year, then all others. Finally found one in New Braunfels, Hill Country RV Resort, we like it so we are staying our 2 weeks here. Hobbes is glad, I don't think he wanted another day in the truck.
Today we spent 1 1/2 hours waiting for a service truck to change our tire. This is the last of the original tires, one went flat in Yuma, trad separation, then this blowout today. Keystone Montana must put cheap tires on their rigs, this tire had only about 12,000 miles on it.
Now Monday night was more fun, we stayed in Benson, AZ, Butterfield RV Resort has an observatory, we spent an hour last PM watching the stars, we saw the comet fading, won't be back for a thousand years, we also saw many groupings of stars and Saturn.
Neighbors Lyle, their visiting friend Darlene, and Margaret. They are from Saskatchewan
