What A Traveling Day This Was!!!


Boy what a traveling day we had today. Mom and Dad had everything ready last night to leave Bay Landing and head to Lake Texoma, including having the trailer hitched up to the truck. At 5:30 this morning, Mom received a call that her mother, in St Marys, PA, had passed away. Mom and Dad had to rush around and make arrangement for Mom to fly to PA. Dad unhitched the trailer and drove Mom to Dallas to catch a plane. She is now on her way. That left me and Lenny to help Dad get everything ready again. We left Bay Landing and arrived at Lake Texoma Thousand Trails in, of all towns, Gordonville, TX. How appropriate. Of course, we arrived during a heavy thunderstorm. That was not fun.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bay Landing. We got to play with our friends, Taffy & Snickers, and Mom & Dad got to spend time with their parents, John & Marsha. They are such very good friends. While at Bay Landing, Mom & Dad also got to go out to dinner with friends, George & Gloria Rink, who stopped in the area for the night on their way from Colorado to Florida. Mom & Dad enjoyed seeing them again. Mom & Dad were also pleasantly surprised when Bob & Kathy Blackburn arrived at Bay Landing. We hadn't see them since last June in Hurricane, UT. Bob and Mom used to used to work at the same place in St Petersburg, FL years ago.

Take care folks, more later.

Happy Easter


Lenny and I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter. We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. Please don't eat the ears off the chocolate bunnies before Easter. Today we arrived at one of our favorite parks, the Bay Landing Thousand Trails in Bridgeport, TX, about 40 miles Northwest of Fort Worth. We will be here for the next 3 weeks and I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my pals, Taffy and Snickers, who will be here in 11 days. You remember the C & W song "If Momma Ain't Happy, Ain't Nobody Happy" well Momma is now happy. After 2 1/2 years of dealing with a lousy Suburban oven in our trailer, Mom and Dad decided to cut their losses and get a new oven. Yesterday we went to the Camping World in New Braunfels, TX and got a new Magic Chef oven installed. Now folks, Momma is happy to finally have an oven that works properly.

Happy Easter!

Remember The Alamo




We are currently at Medina Lake, so today Mom and Dad took me and Lenny to the Alamo and the San Antonio Missions. Dogs are not allowed in the Alamo so we had to settle for having our picture taken in front of it. Now that he has been to the Alamo, we can consider Lenny a Texan like the rest of us. We are enjoying our stay at Medina Lake with all the deer, jackrabbits and roadrunners. Lenny has been real good about not chasing the deer. He is quite content to sit and watch them. Since I've been here before, the deer are no big deal for me. We will be here for a few more days then we will be heading to Bay Landing in Bridgeport, TX where Lenny will get to meet my friends, Taffy & Snickers. If Lenny is lucky, he may be able to see some wild pigs at Bay Landing.
