Wow, it’s been quite some time since I’ve updated this blog — over a month, in fact, ever since we got back to Saint Joseph. Do I need to say that we’ve been pretty busy? The majority of that busy-ness has been, and continues to be, getting the house ready to put on the market. [...]
Wow, I just realized my last post was written just before the flash flood that innundated the Guadalupe River basin below the dam, as the rain was coming down! It was pretty awful, although not as many people were lost here as there were the following week in Arkansas. One man drowned, but that’s one [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s hard to believe, but our stay on the outskirts of Dallas is nearly over. We move down the interstate to New Braunfels this Saturday. If it weren’t for wanting to get the monthly rate down there, and our “deadline” of getting home to St. Joe by the first of May, I’d like to stay [...]
We’ve waved good-bye to Niceville and Rocky Bayou, and we are on the way to Slidell, Louisiana tonight. It was a pleasant three-week stay but now the weather is starting to get a little warmer and we’re developing itchy feet. While we were there I got some great pictures at Puddenhead Lake on the state [...]
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 [...]
