Friday and Saturday--February 2 and 3--Texas Theater

Friday, Febraury 3, we did not much at all.  I started a quilt.  Finished a book and warmed up leftovers for dinner.

Saturday, February 4,I  had a really nice day.  We got up after it rained most of the night again.  Water was standing all around us.  Pond is about ready to go out the spillway.  Wet Texas!  

I cooked the old man ham and eggs for breakfast and cut out some more quilt squares.  He started watching a movie and I had to get ready for the concert in between the commercials.

Off to town we went.  We stood in line to get pretty good seats.  The old theater is being restored by the town members.  Nice comfy seats.

The first entertainer was Justin Trevino.  He is one of my favorite Texas singers.

Justin Trevino


While Justin Trevino was singing "Devil Woman" he stopped in the middle and stated that he always stopped the band at this point because he did not understand the lyrics.  (Something about even the sea gulls were happy that Mary was coming back home.)   Justin was wondering how you could tell if a see gull was happy.  But one time a man in the crowd jumped up and said you could tell  when they whistle through their peckers.
 Next was Tony Booth.  He was good.

Next a local girl of Seguin, Dottsi.

 After the concert, we went to dinner at a local restaurant that was recommended by one of the volunteers at the theater.  While sitting there eating our meal, guess who came in?  Justin, his wife, and the steel guitar player.  We finished our meal and I got up enough nerve to ask Justin's wife if he would mind taking a picture for my blog.

Gary was about to crawl under the table; but how could I pass an opportunity to meet someone that I have enjoyed listening to on the radio and TV?  All three of them were really nice.  Thye invited me to sit at their table and asked where we were from and where we were staying and that they would probably be going to a local dance hall after the evening show.  I didn't tell them I had a MU vs KU basketball game to watch.

Sounds like ya'll had a good weekend. Hope your enjoying the warmer weather in Texas, although it's been a really mild winter so far back here. Not much going on back here. Chawee drug me around to several furniture stores this weekend, and decided on a new couch and love seat set, and then a curio from another store. I get to go back to each store after work today to pay for them and arrange for delivery. There goes the tax returns.

Days 93 and 94; July 29 & 30 -- Canada to USA

Whee.....what a long three days.....we put a lot of miles on the vehicles and our bodies.  When I last blogged we were at Dave's RV Park in Vanderhoof, BC.  Gary said that this was one of the best kept campgrounds that we had visited.  The bathrooms were spotless and the grounds and flowers matched.  We aimed to go around 200 miles and stop.....somehow that didn't fall into place.  We stopped for lunch at a rest area.  I took this pictures overlooking the valley below from the camper door.  You can see the screen door marks on the picture.  All along this road, we passed original log houses and out buildings.  It made you feel like you were travelling on the very path that the pioneers had taken.  We finally found a campground in the canyon.  Gary got out to take his movie pictures and asked me where we were and what was the name of the campground.  Neither of us knew.  We did have a good dinner.  He grilled t-bone steaks, we had grilled potatoes, salad, and fried bread.  Yu

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

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 little high $3.82 to $4.07. Today we drove around O

Day 119; August 24 - Finally!

Here we are.  Friday we signed the papers with the promise of picking up the truck on Monday.  But, life likes to remind us who is boss.  We left this afternoon around 2pm with the 2001 Diesel.  I told Gary on the way to the dealer that it was like taking our German Shepard to the vet with the intention of putting her down, and he would could home with her again.  Too hard to depart.  The Diesel didn't want to say good-bye either! But tonight, after drawing the attention of the New Car Manager (all the sales personnel knew us by name) and General Manager, the truck was finished.  A couple from California stopped by to ask questions and visit about diesels.  I think that did it!......  when the customers thought we were a permanent fixture to the store.  Our truck got finished around 6pm.  The General Manager said if we had to stay longer they would buy us dinner.......The first running boards they tried to install were not right, so we got an upgrade.  They are nice!  The Driver
