More Relaxing in Weslaco.




As you can see by the pictures attached, we are settling in to our January home in Texas. We have set up our little patio area and Sea-enna has a nice area to be outside, which she loves.
The weather men here have been saying since we arrived that it is going to turn cold. When we arrived on Friday they said the weekend would be cold, then it was going to be early this week, now they are saying it's going to turn cold on Wednesday. Meanwhile the weather has been holding in the mid 70s and low 80s. We certainly can't complain about that.
We went and visited with Sharon & Casey of "Loafhaven", yesterday. Exchanged stories of the trips down etc. They stay 6 months and came in November, which makes for a much nicer trip down.
That's about all for now. My cold is getting a little better every day. So, we are off to the dog park with Sea-enna and that will be our outing for today.

Relaxing in Weslaco











As you can see by the pictures, we are in the Rio Grande Valley. The Palm Trees are swaying, the plants are all blooming and the weather is mild in fact a little too warm for me. It went to 82 today.
We took Sea-enna to a new dog park today, so she is laying here exhausted.
I'm still fighting this cold, but I have been trying to have a nap each day since we got here and drinking plenty of liquids.
In fact Ive switched from my usual Rye & Coke and I've been drinking Vodka and Orange Juice, strickly for medicinal purposes you understand. So that's about it for another day, I'm going to get my Jammies on and go to bed early.

Austin, to Magic Valley in Weslaco

It was a long boring day of driving. Rolling hills then finally flat lands just before the valley. We left Austin at 8:00 am and pulled in here at around 2:00pm. We got here and just crashed. We are both very exhausted. Dan's cold is subsiding, but mine is still hanging in there. It's going up to 80 degrees today, so I have acheived my shorts and sandals weather that I was looking for. But, tomorrow it is supposed to turn quite cold only going to 50s. Cool for tomorrow and for the next few days. We don't mind that, because we need an excuse to just curl up and rest for a while. I will take some pictures and update again tomorrow or maybe the next day. After all we are going to be here for a whole month.

McKinney Falls State Park, Austin Texas


Well, it was a long drive but we have settled in to McKinney Falls State Park. We have been here before and done all the sight seeing, so we will be moving on again tomorrow.









We blew right past "Thackerville", didn't even take pictures. "Been there, done that".







But Dan did get to stop in Denton, at his favorite Semi/RV /Car Wash.









We are going to try to make it to Weslaco tomorrow.

Good Bye Oklahoma

We picked up our truck today, it now has a brand new rear end Plus Plus Plus. Oh well it had to be dealt with. Tomorrow morning, we are hooking up the trailer and we are off to Texas. We love this park and so does Sea-enna, but enough is enough, it's time to move on. It will still take us a few days to get down to the Rio Grande Valley. It finally got up to 50 today, but each day further south it will be warmer and warmer. Having acheived brown grass on Friday now that next thing I want is shorts and sandals weather. Dan is looking forward to his birthday tomorrow in Texas.

"It's Always Something"

It turns out the mechanical problems we were having, were not the transmission. but the rear end. It is all torn apart and spread all over the shop floor, but they assure us it will be back together and as good as new sometime tomorrow. So we should be able to move on to Texas on Wednesday morning. Like Rosanne Rosanadana says "It's always something".
