Sounds like a successful rally and a good time was had by all attendees.  Wish we could have been there.

Today we said good by to Larry and Betty this morning because they had company coming to their place in Bryan this afternoon.  It was great to meet them and get to know them.  Several of us went off in different directions this morning.  Shortly after noon Jackson and Liz Pearce arrived to spend the afternoon with us.  About mid-afternoon we enjoyed a potluck dinner at the club house and spent the rest of the afternoon visiting.  Jackson and Liz left late afternoon so they could arrive back at D'Hanis before dark.  We really enjoyed their visit and glad they could join us.  Later Mary Ann, Jane and I enjoyed a game of Mexican Train making up some of our own rules ;)  The guys did their own thing for the evening.

Big basket of peanuts, big bowl of trail mix, peanut butter filled pretzel chunks, drinks all around......Yep, that's the real Mexican Train!

I just had to watch the opening game of the 2009 MLB season!!!! Braves over the Phils 4-1.  Derek Lowe pitched 8 innings of 2 hit ball for the Braves.  The reliever, Gonzales, made the bottom of the 9th exciting as he tried to give it all back!  Braves hit 3 homers in the first 2 innings, including one by their rookie centerfielder in his first ML at bat.  Go Braves!

Picture 2 is just for proof that Lorna was at yesterday's potluck and not always behind the camera.....;D

Jane and I had a really   nice time - the gathering was intimate which allowed us to get to know everybody to a degree usually not possible with such an event.  Thanks so much to Ned and Lorna for the idea and for their organizational activities.  Thanks to Don and Mary Ann (and Ned and Lorna) for being our chauffeurs - it was a real treat not driving.

John and Jane departed our rally yesterday.  We were glad that you could attend and happy that you enjoyed the rally.  It was wonderful to get to know everyone.  The Nesbitts and Reiters spent the day visiting, running errands and catching up on computer reading or work. 

Today the four of us drove to Fredericksburg with intentions of going to the National Museum of the Pacific War.  However, we could see that they were building a large addition and informed that it should open by December 7th of this year.  So we decided to tour it at another time.  We did enjoy having lunch at one of the many restaurants in town and have ice cream at the local ice cream shop.  On the way to Fredericksburg we stopped at the Wild Seed Farm where we made a couple of purchases.   After the cold and windy day yesterday it was a beautiful day for our adventures today.  Don took a couple of pictures and hopefully he will post them.

I would like to thank everyone that attended the Texas Hill Country Rally for making it a big success and a wonderful time.  It was great to meet some new members of the Framily and hope they will attend some of our other rallies.

As requested by the Rally Boss, here are a couple of the pictures from yesterday.

First the Rally Remainders (are we now an official Mini-Rally?) enjoying coffee and sweet rolls provided by our campground hosts.

Second and third are pictures of my favorite blossoms at Wildseed Farms.  http://www.wildseedfarms.com/

There are no pictures of the alleged ice cream fest.  Maybe it didn't happen.  Ergo, maybe no calories.

Thanks again to Lorna and Ned for being the perfect hosts for a great Rally!

We sure enjoyed our selves.  It was G R E A T to meet some of our RV Framily friends and get to know them better.  We look forward to meeting again and to meeting others too.  Anytime geography and time works out so that we can participate in other rallys, we will. 

Ned & Lorna; thanks for doing the organization.  And thanks to everyone for taking photos and participating.

Sounds like it was a great rally and a large time was had by all. Wish we could have been there, but we are stuck here in
Houston. The Doctor said on Monday we could be for six months. Maybe more or maybe less.
If anyone is headed this way give us a shout. We are free most days except Mondays.

ArdraF--

Glad you enjoyed the passion Flower Vine bloom.  There are a few more pictures here http://mmgandddgtravels.blogspot.com/.

Imagine if you will a 15 foot wall of this vine blanketed with hundreds of these 4-5" blossoms!
