Nothing Could Be Finer.....

.....Than to be in Carolina in the morning. Hi folks, yesterday we arrived back at what seems to be our home away from home, the Thousand Trails Park in Fair Play, South Carolina. We just finished 12 wonderful days at the Mountain Lakes Resort in Langston, Alabama. What a beautiful park, with plenty of room for me and Lenny. The park is on the shore of Guntersville Lake with its' 890 mile shoreline. The lake is part of the Tennessee River waterway. We never realized Alabama had some pretty mountain areas. Mom and Dad's old friends Matt and Connie were parked right beside us. We enjoyed seeing them again and introducing them to Lenny. We are scheduled to be here in South Carolina until June 13th but that is up in the air as we were anxiously awaiting the birth of Mom and Dad's granddaughter Peanut.

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day. Take care.

Natchez Trace

Hello from the Natchez Trace in Tennessee. We arrived here last Tuesday and managed to survive the storms that hit Tennessee this past weekend. Our trip to this park from Arkansas took us through McNairy County, TN where we passed the grave and home of "Walking Tall" Sheriff Buford Pusser. We spent the weekend in the trailer with the non-stop rain and continuous tornado warnings. Fortunately there were no tornadoes. It was kind of eerie since Saturday was the first anniversary of this park being hit by two tornadoes last year. The Natchez Trace is a beautiful parkway. Near our park on the Trace is the grave of Meriwether Lewis of the famed Lewis and Clark Expedition. We have another week of playing in this park before we head to Alabama where we are scheduled to meet up with Mom and Dad's friends Matt & Connie. It will be nice to see them again after a year and a half.

More later friends.

Half and Half

Last Thursday we left Gordonville for a long weekend in Ashdown, Arkansas. During our journey, we stopped in DeKalb, TX so Mom and Dad could get a picture of another gravesite, that of Dan Blocker who played "Hoss Cartwright" on the TV show Bonanza. We are spending the weekend at the Millwood Landing Golf and RV Resort. What a beautiful park. Today we took a ride into Texarkana so Lenny and I could get our picture taken straddling the state line between Texas and Arkansas. The state line goes right down the middle of the Federal Courthouse and Post Office. Afterwards we were treated to our happy meal hamburgers and fries. Gotta love those little sightseeing road trips! Arkansas is now the 31st state Lenny has visited since he came to live with us 14 months ago. Monday we will be leaving for the Natchez Trace in Tennessee. We will arrive there on Tuesday. This will be Lenny's first trip there so I am anxious to show him around. It's a fun place.

Later folks.

The Gordons In Gordonville

Today we left Thackerville, OK and drove a long 38 miles to the Lake Texoma Thousand Trails in Gordonville, TX. Gordonville is becoming an annual stop for us as this is one of our favorite parks. We enjoyed our two week stay in Thackerville. While Mom and Dad enjoyed spending time with friends John and Janet, Lenny and I had fun playing with our buddy Holly. One day I snuck out of our trailer. Dad didn't have to search hard for me as I ran straight to Holly's motorcoach and was setting on the steps when Dad caught up with me. One day, Mom and Dad went to the Thackerville Third Annual Rattlesnake Roundup put on by the Thackerville Fire Department. They enjoyed seeing many rattlesnakes but at a safe distance behind a barrier. Mom and Dad enjoyed the free seniors' breakfasts at the Winstar Casino. Fortunately, they didn't leave too much money in the slot machines, so they came out ahead. We will be in Gordonville for two weeks of rest and relaxation.

HAPPY EASTER

Lenny and I want to wish our family and friends a Happy Easter. We are enjoying our stay in Oklahoma. Last Sunday was a "doggie day-out" for us. Mom and Dad took us first to the Chickasaw National Recreation Area. Then we went to Oklahoma City to visit the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. It was very sobering to see the memorial chairs for the victims killed in that tragic event, 19 of who were children. Afterwards, we were treated to our happy meals for lunch. While enjoying lunch we were able to watch a female police officer chase down and capture a shoplifter. That was exciting!

Yesterday Mom and Dad went to the Winstar Casino for a free seniors breakfast. They sure do enjoy the perks of being senior citizens. Also, our Westie pal Holly arrived at the park with her Mom and Dad. We sure do enjoy playtime with her.

All for now, again HAPPY EASTER and please don't eat all the ears on the chocolate bunnie...

GET ALONG LITTLE DOGGIE

Today we are winding up our stay at Tres Rio in Glen Rose, TX. Tomorrow we head to the Red River Ranch RV Park in Oklahoma. We have enjoyed our stay in Glen Rose. This is a real

nice park. The first week we were here was spring break so there were lots of families here but the second week has been very quiet. The weather here for the most part has been beautiful except for the first two days of spring when it was miserably wet, windy and cold. Mom and Dad took me and Lenny to the historic Chisholm Trail. Of course what is the Chisholm Trail without a cattle drive. You have to love those Texas longhorns. Mom and Dad have also taken us down by the river to let us run loose. That has been fun. This past Sunday, Mom and Dad's longtime friends Fel and Molly came down for a visit and to go out for lunch. It was great seeing them. Mom and Dad used to go motorcycle riding with them. We are looking forward to our stay in Oklahoma as our RVing friends John and Janet and their puppy Holly are scheduled to meet up with us there. It will be nice to see them again. I guess this is all for now, take care!

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.
