I don’t know if it’s a rainy night in Georgia (well, actually, afternoon), but it sure is here in Texas. From the looks of the weather map we might as well get used to it today. There is a flash flood watch for this general area, even though it isn’t raining hard here. The Texas [...]
A lot has been happening. Today, after spending a week at an RV park between Sattler and Canyon Lake (both unincorporated communities on the east and south sides of the lake respectively), we moved to a different RV park on the north side, closer to the land we’re buying, and with better phone and WiFi [...]
We are still in New Braunfels. My ankle is healing nicely, but next week I have another visit to the surgeon, then we have to decide whether to head straight home to St. Joseph or stay down here, perhaps out at the lake, for another week or so. We are leaning toward staying. A lot [...]
Here we are in the middle of God’s Country (Texas, of course), in the prettiest time of year, with wildflowers blooming their heads off after an unusually wet winter. The sky is blue, the grackles are squawking, and the trees are in full leaf. I have my magical iPad, Phil is enjoying Netflix, and all [...]
Tomorrow I’ll finally get the cast off my leg! The surgery went well, and while the doc put in a whole bunch of hardware (six screws and a plate), I’ve been recovering and getting around better every day. Instead of the crutches, which were really hard to use, the clinic gave me a walker, but [...]
It’s difficult to believe we have been in New Braunfels for over a week now. Time is flying by! Another three weeks and we will be heading home to St. Joseph. A day or two after arriving, we met my cousin, Wayne, who has lived here for 30 years, and really knows his way around [...]
I’m posting this from my iPhone. Yes, we have a mobile broadband modem & router, but we’ve used all our allowance for the month — a paltry 5 GigaBytes — and have unplugged it until the 20th, when the account is reset. Thank goodness for smartphones with unlimited data accounts! This is another reason for [...]
We have enjoyed our stay at the Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park so much, that we’ve signed on for another week. So, we’ll be here until March 3rd, when we will start west, stopping in Slidell, Louisiana overnight before arriving at Chicot State Park, in just about the middle of the state. We haven’t [...]
OK! We finally got all the paperwork straigtened out and new tags on the RV, so we’re on the way south at last. It’s really frustrating to sit around two weeks after getting into the RV, burning through our travel budget while we’re still in town, all because of some bureaucratic screw-up, but that’s what [...]
Yep, we’re still in St. Joe. It’s a long story, but to avoid tedium I’ll just mention the high (low) spots. When we took the RV out of storage, we noticed that the tag had expired, so we stayed over till Monday (which was a good idea anyway since I wasn’t finished cleaning out the [...]
