January 19 and 20, 2012

Thursday--We got up and went into Fort Worth to track down my HotSpot.  Guess what, FedEx had put it back on the delivery truck.  The nice lady (finally found one that was willing to help) called the truck and we met him behind Target in Weatherford.  We then went for breakfast and rode with them while they delivered Meals on Wheels.  Back to town to pick up coolers that are delivered in the country once a week.  We delivered in the area of Horseshoe Bend.  Then it is time to eat again.  They choose a nice little restaurant downtown.  They had really good food.  The noon special was only $5.99 and that included your drink.  They also had coconut cream pie.  Robert and I could not pass this opportunity.

Friday--Moving Day....sorry to say goodbye to our friends.  Roberta went into town for an appointment and we packed up and waited for her return.  Sad goodbyes were said and we headed south towards San Antonia.  First stop was at the Circle T Ranch outside of Hamilton.  They had room for one night but were hosting a high school rodeo over the weekend.

Okay, yes it is us in trouble again.......we ran over a big fat spike.  One thing about it, we had several people to stop and offer their assistance between the town of Circleville and Taylor.  Nice folks.  The first was a young man that had just totaled his Nissan Titan when he hit a big cow.  He said the man in front did not stop to help and ever since he has tried to help everyone that he sees in distress.


We waited for over an hour for Good Sam Road Assistance to send us help.  Finally about dusk, the spare tire was on and we found a campsite in Taylor.  We plan to stay here for at least a week.

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a l...

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go ...

Day 81; July 17 - Sunday Day of Rest

Image
I just wanted to hang out and enjoy the scenery today.  I was awaken this morning by a Skype call from Jessie and Mary.  Started my day off right.  I had a muffin and cream cheese for breakfast.  Last night Gary came in with two bags of groceries the neighbors had given him.  They were flying back to their home country this morning and didn't have any use for them.  They gave him four old bananas, oil, eggs, juice, salad dressing..... I made a great loaf of banana nut bread.  It was pretty good if I do say so myself.  Driver, Prissy, and I took a short walk while it was cooking. He told me he kept repeating his sad story of all the repairs that he made on his vehicles and put on his oldest clothes so people would feel sorry for him--that man!  He also is really pleased with all the goodies the girls left in the cupboards.  He has enough junk food to get him back in the lower 48.  Ha!  He really enjoyed being spoile...
