Hitch'em Up Pa

Now that Mom is back home, it is time to hitch'em up Pa. Bright and early tomorrow morning we leave Texas and start our summer journey North. During the next couple of months we will be visiting Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. We have a lot planned to see and visit during this journey. We also plan to visit a couple of Canadian Provinces while we are up there. By the end of the summer we will have now visited the 48 contigous states.

Stay tuned "For More Of The Continuing Saga of Trike and Lenny".

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.

Only in Texas

Yesterday we arrived at the Bayview RV Resort in Rockport, Texas. Only in Texas would you see a natural gas well being drilled right in the middle of an RV park. That's Texas for you. This is a beautiful area near the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It reminds Mom and Dad of the areas in Florida where the snowbirds spend their winters. Today we went to Corpus Christi and visited the Padre Island National Seashore. I still don't like the waves crashing so I stayed away from the Gulf of Mexico. Lenny loves water but even he was leery of the waves crashing in. We loved the beach and the sand. From there we went to see the retired aircraft carrier the USS Lexington, moored in Corpus Christi. Mom and Dad remember when the "Lady Lex" was an active duty carrier based in Pensacola, FL. Afterwards we took Lenny to McDonald's so he could have his first "Happy Meal". He seemed to enjoy it as it was gone in no time. Mom and Dad love to spoil us, and we eat it up.

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY

Happy St Patrick's Day to all of our Irish friends. I hope you all have a bit of the Irish luck today. Don't forget to eat corned beef and cabbage today. I think I will stick to my regular dog food though. Today is packing day for us. Bright and early tomorrow morning we pull out and head for a week in Rockport, TX, near Corpus Christi. We have "hitch itch" and are so ready to leave. This park is celebrating Spring Break and it is packed.

Have a good day and I will add more when we get to Rockport.

Springtime In Texas Means Bluebonnets

Today Lenny and I got our picture taken among the beautiful Texas bluebonnets. Notice our neat bandanas. We have our names on them. This is a great time of year to be in Texas. We are really enjoying the wonderful weather. Lenny and I are able to spend a lot of time playing outside. Mom and Dad have extended our time here at Lake Conroe for another week. They are having the oven repaired and the parts have not come in yet. The oven has never worked right so they are hoping to get it properly repaired this time. Last night, Mom and Dad went out for a barbeque dinner with friend and former colleague Roy Royston and his girlfriend Vickie. Mom and Dad had a very enjoyable time with Roy and Vickie. Roy and Vickie made sure Mom and Dad brought us home some great Texas barbeque to munch on.
