Medina Lake, Texas Hill Country

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. For the past 11 days we have been at the Medina Lake Thousand Trails Park in the Texas hill country. This is one of our favorite parks with the deer, roadrunners and jackrabbits. When we arrived, Lenny and I were surprised to find our long time pals, Taffy and Snickers, were already here with their mommy and daddy, John and Marcia. It has been almost a year since we last saw Taffy and Snickers. We got to play with them for 10 days before they left for Louisiana. Mom and Dad really enjoyed spending time with John and Marcia. They are such good friends. One day, they all went out to dinner to celebrate Marcia's birthday. They wouldn't tell us how old she was though. Mom and Dad really enjoy all of the activities at this park with the games, dances, jam sessions, ice cream socials and wienie roasts. We are real disappointed with Medina Lake. Right now, it is nothing more than a wide spot in the Medina River. The flood gates are open and will remain open until the weak dam is replaced. The weather, for the most part is pretty good. We did have some snow flurries one day and some rain but now it is turning warmer and sunnier.

On March 11, we will be going to Glen Rose, the Dinosaur Capital of Texas, for a two week stay.

Take care folks.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day from Columbus, TX, the oldest surveyed and platted Anglo-American town in Texas. We have been here for two weeks. For the most part, the weather has been wet and cold. At least there hasn't been any snow. We will be here until next Thursday then we head for Medina Lake, TX. Last week Mom and Day met Dad's old colleague, Roy Royston and his girlfriend Vicki for a great Mexican dinner. It is always great to spend time with Roy and Vicki. Yesterday, longtime friends, Skeeter and Debbie, came to visit and see our new trailer. They are really neat people as they brought toys and treats for me and Lenny. We hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day.

Lenny's First Trip To The Reservation

Today we left Abita Springs and came to the Coushatta Tribal Reservation near Kinder, LA. We are at the RV park of the Coushatta Casino and Hotel. This is one beautiful park with plenty of room for Lenny and me to run and play. This is Lenny's first trip ever to an Indian Reservation. He doesn't seem to be excited about that fact though. He just likes running in the fields. We enjoyed our 12 days at Abita Springs visiting with Harold and Nina, seeing Mardi Gras getting kicked off and of course the Saints getting to go to the Super Bowl. After the Saints beat the Vikings, the area when GA-GA with fireworks going off most all night. The French Quarter and Bourbon Street were packed with people celebrating. This afternoon Mom and Dad visited the casino and made a small donation. I guess they plan another visit tomorrow afternoon. Thursday morning we will pull out early and make our way to Columbus, TX for a 3 week stay. It will be nice to be back in The Lone Star State.

Mom & Dad Are Excited

Yesterday, Sharon and Trevor posted a sonogram picture of their yet unborn daughter. Mom and Dad are so excited about having a granddaughter that they are "goofy". The picture shows the baby is going to be as beautiful as her Momma. We can't wait for her to be born!!!!!!!!!

We are now in Abita Springs, Louisiana. We arrived here last Thursday, however we did encounter a problem after leaving South Carolina. While spending one night in Alabama on our way here, we suffered a power surge that "fried" both of the TVs. So for 6 days we were without TVs. Mom was suffering withdrawal not being able to see her favorite shows on the Food Channel. Yesterday we got the TVs replaced so Mom and Dad are happy campers again. While here, Mom and Dad have been able to spend time with their friends, Harold and Nina Denton. Sunday they met up with them at the Hollywood Casino for dinner and some entertainment. This evening Mom and Dad are going over to their home for more visiting.

Louisiana is an excited place right now, with the Saints in the NFL playoffs and the upcoming Mardi Gras celebrations. There are Saints and Mardi Gras signs and merchandise all over the place. Lenny and I are enjoying the warmer weather of Louisiana. We are able to be outside more and have met a couple of new friends, Mitzi and Sally. They are fun to play with.

Time To Hit The Road

After three wonderful, but cold, weeks in South Carolina, it is time for us to hit the road. We enjoyed spending the holidays with the kids and getting to see them again. It has been real cold in South Carolina but with the new trailer we have managed to keep ourselves toasty. We loved our other trailer but the new one is so much nicer. We are heading out tomorrow for Abita Springs, LA. We will be spending two weeks in Louisiana before we hit Texas again. We are ready for some warmer weather so we can be outside more. I will keep you updated as our travels progress. Stay safe everyone!

Merry Christmas

Mom, Dad, Lenny and I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. We hope everyone has a happy and joyous holiday. Right now we are in Greensboro, Georgia but Wednesday we will be heading to South Carolina to spend the Christmas and New Year's holidays with family.

Yesterday, we went to Buford, Georgia and picked up our family Christmas present, a new fifth wheel trailer. In late October, Mom and Dad had special ordered a new 2010 Cardinal trailer. It came in Thursday, so we picked it up yesterday. Moving day was a hassle but we are very happy with our new home. It is 38 feet long with much more living area than our toy hauler had. Mom and Dad love the new flat screen TVs and the LazyBoy recliners. Lenny and I love the new king sized bed. With an Arctic package, it is much easier to heat in this cold weather.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Happy Thanksgiving

Lenny and I want to to wish all our friends and family a Happy Thanksgiving. We hope you have a wonderful holiday with plenty of turkey. We are thoroughly enjoying the warm Florida weather. Yesterday we got to see Stumpy, the alligator, sunning on the banks of the Peace River. Today we are helping Mom and Dad celebrate their 42nd wedding anniversary.

Happy Thanksgiving.
