Dean, Linda, and Sherlock will be attending. We will be staying in the electric area.  It has been a while, this will be our first outing since April. That trip had to be cut short due to a medical issue with my foot.  We are looking forward to getting back into the RV world and seeing all of...

Betty Brewer contacted me and said people were asking about us.  RVForumers are so caring.  Well, we are well--sort of.  Dean has the same sore on his foot, which he says is slowly healing.  I won't travel again until it is totally healed.  We are still trying to figure out the puzzle, but it...

So much has happened since I last posted in Mission.  Mission got his fever down to the 99's, but he was still weak.  On the third day of Dean's hospitalization there, he called me to forewarn me that his leg looked awful, but the infectious diseases doctor said that was part of its getting...

1:30 AM Thanks for the kind comments.  My son-in-law drove the coach to Mission, where we are in a wonderful park.  It has casitas, so I am going to stay in one of those since I can't enter and exit the RV unaided.  Meanwhile, the kids are going to drive home tomorrow, taking Sherlock with...

March 27-28 Day 25-26 Roma For the past several days, we haven't had internet when I wanted to post.  I wrote each night, so I'm glad that I got it posted. I awakened to a beautiful yellow-headed bird with yellow and black wings outstretched on a nearby tree (paronque??).  And, I also woke...

March 22, 23, 24 Day 20, 21, 22 Austin We visited several state parks and refuges, which were birdless.  We saw more birds in the HEB parking lot than we did in the parks combined.  Of course, they were cowbirds and other common species. The only place that had anything interesting was the...

March 21 Day 19 Austin We had planned to go birdwatching this morning, but at 9:00, it was a frigid 40?, so we switched our plans and went to the Bullock State History Museum.  We enjoyed it when we were here 6 years ago, and we wanted to go back.  The museum owns no exhibits or displays. ...

  Thanks, Ned.  If I'd had any idea, I'd have just written down the directions you gave me.  We had two addresses on Hwy. 281 that we had visited during our stay with you, and I suggested to Dean that he put one of those in the  GPS before we left, and that way we'd be sure to get to it and...

Scott and Ernie, thanks for the suggestion.  I'll work on emailing the photo and see if I can figure it out. 

March 19 & 20      Days 17 & 18 Austin, TX Yesterday was quite an eventful adventure that I don't care to repeat.  Ned & Lorna had a great idea of how to avoid the very busy I-35 by using two state routes.  We made all the turns correctly to get out of the tract, but when we came to the exit...

March 14,15, 16, 17, 18  Days 12, 13, 14, 15, 16  Spring Branch, TX We planned to spend 5 days with Ned & Lorna Reiter, helping them and socializing.  The first day when we came in, Dean was sick with a couple of weird symptoms, including being really tired.  The second day, I had everything...

March 11, 12, 13 Days 9, 10, 11 Kerrville We drove 10 minutes to our new park and have a beautiful concrete pad with grass and the nicest patio table with 4 chairs.  We look out on an orchard and they have put bird feeders throughout, so Sherlock (cat) is delighted.  There are squirrels...

March 10, 2016 Day 8 Kerrville, TX We traveled 340 miles today in the rain.  The landscape was more green, but still pretty monotonous.  We were reminded of the need to be super careful as we passed by an accident involving a motorcycle and a semi.  Prayers were said for all involved.  Dean...

Here are my mountain goats (hopefully!)

March 9, 2016            Day 7          Fort Davis, TX We've now spent time in all 50 states, and now we're returning to our favorite spots.  We started a little earlier on this encore trip to Texas, hoping to see the ducks that we missed by just a few days last time.  We're also visiting some...
