LIFE IN TEXAS

I got my humming bird feeder hung up. 

I got my palms trimmed.  

We have met our new neighbours. 

We signed up and attended our park's pot luck Thanksgiving Dinner which was wonderful as usual.  

Now looking forward to the Christmas one.  

We even got a chance to go over to Siesta Village for happy hour on Wednesday for a visit with Sharon & Casey.  We have found our first dance to go to on Dec. 2nd, once that happens, we will really be in the swing down here in Texas.  

AND THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT TEXAS

SETTLING IN IN TEXAS

It has been a busy week, but we are slowly starting to feel at home again.  

Between damaged power cords, and leaking water hook-ups not to mention computer and printer problems.  It's been a busy week.   

But a couple of nights ago we were in the hot tub after dinner and tonight we sat out and had our first Patio Happy Hour.  And I am even sporting a fresh Pedicure.  So, yes we are settling in. 

IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK IN TEXAS.  

OUR TRIP DOWN TO TEXAS

We woke up early Friday morning and Dan prepped the house for our departure.  We did the final packing of the truck and headed for Winnipeg by 9:30.  Stopped in Winnipeg for dry ice for my cooler, then to the Bank for some US Dollars and we were off.

It was an uneventful trip down to Fargo, just icy cold and a lot of blowing snow.  We stopped nice and early, as we had booked ahead not knowing how late we might be.  But we were booked in by 4:00pm. That Blowing snow continued the next day and we had to put up with it through North Dakota and most of South Dakota.  

Our next leg was to Wichita and it started out nice and sunny and as we entered Kansas we left behind the wind and blowing snow and we achieved one of our milestone "Green Grass" early in the day, then the rain started.

It rained incessantly all across Kansas, down through Oklahoma, and continued with us all the way to San Antonio.  It was still raining the next morning as we got up for our last day.  

When we arrived everything was as we left it in April.  No problems to face.  Just WET WET WET. 

 

So in the next couple of days we will turn THIS...........

                                                                 To THIS............

THE OUTDOOR PATIO WE COME TO TEXAS TO ENJOY.  

LEST WE FORGET

ALTHOUGH WE ARE TRAVELING WE ARE STILL WEARING  OUR POPPIES, AS ARE EVERYONE ELSE WE HAVE SEEN. 

WE DIDN'T GET OUT OF TOWN IN TIME.

You never know when the real thing is going to arrive, but here we are still at home preparing and packing.  And the real thing has arrived.  




And it was a real accumulation of snow.  We were hoping to get on the road before this hit. But, as they say, "The best laid plays of mice and men etc., etc., etc."

Our youngest son and oldest daughter came out to visit us before we left, which was very nice, but it was a treacherous drive out here yesterday and it will be slow going back into town tonight. 

We have a few more chores and errands to see to before we drain the water system and shut the power off.  That will be  the final step before we lock the doors and leave on Friday morning.   

JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET "ON THE ROAD AGAIN"
