February 1, 2012--To the Hill Country We Go

We left in the fog.  We drove to Selma to try to get a rebate back on my new computer.  No go!  (Thanks, Roberta, for trying in Weatherford.)  Then we took the upper bypass to Hwy 16 and drove through some interesting hills.

(I think Uncle Ralph Wilkerson might have been stationed here.)
Driver has pursed lips because I have done something wrong again?

Texas Hill Country

Over Hill and Through the Hills

A Herd of Something?
They are big as horses and have long, long horns!
Don't think they are wild pigs.  Ha!


Are you interrupting my meal?

I'm going to tell MaMa you are bothering me!

Pecan Trees along the Guadeloupe River
This was some of the prettiest country we have seen.

My Man!  Always ready to help someone in need!
They had called the Good Sam Roadside Assistance.
Their flat looked better than ours with a Pliers Handle sticking out of it.
We were suppose to eat our weekly meal out today.  I was craving a good steak.  Gary got hungry going through Bandera (Cowboy Capital of the World, oldest Polish community and a Mormon settlement) so we stopped at Dairy Queen and had a Kids Meal.

The trip took longer than we had allowed so we turned and went back home.  Miss Priss was not uncomfortable.  Sitting on her pillow and sleeping.  After we got back home, we decided heck with eating out so I warmed up the Ham and Beans and Cornbread, added a salad, and a KU basketball game and we were Happy Campers.

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...
