December so we must find WARM

After a month of trying to figure out what to do with ourselves, we realized we must get back on the road! After Christmas celebration with Doug, Laura, Tommie, Britt & Kayla, we headed north to Wichita Falls for Christmas with Tom, Susan, Clayton, Landon and Wade, as well as Tom O'B., Mark, Janice, Mark, Jr. & Allison. Whew - that's a lot of people.
All good fun and lovely to see. Here's a few pics from those get-togethers.

We headed out on the 26th and went to, you won't believe this, Midland! It was windy - DUH! But beautiful sunsets as usual. Here's a silhoette that should strike familiarity.


Next stop was Clint, TX just east of El Paso then on to Tucson! We stayed in a little RV park in the middle of town for a couple of nights until we could get the lay of the land, so to speak. After exploring, we found this wonderful place called Western Way RV Resort. We highly recommend it. http://www.wwrvresort.com/ We have an orange tree in front of Minerva loaded with oranges.


So far we have visited the Saguaro National Park, Sabino Canyon National Park, Botanical Gardens, the Tucson Museum of Art and crisscrossed the city multiple times in doing so. As you might imagine, we see lots of cactus. Some are pretty amazing and/or funky. We'll share a few of those with you. The scenery is beautiful even when I have to scoop poop from time to time.










We hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year Eve and Day. It's sunny and bright here with temps around 70ish. We're off on another adventure this afternoon if I can get this blog updated! More later.



Hasta Luego from Tucson.

Leftovers From November

I realize I never put up the photos from our last few days returning home in November. We stayed several days at Caddo Lake State Park and then overnighted at Lake Livingston State Park and Camp Tonkawa or something like that. Here are a few photos from that portion, if you're still interested.

Cypress trees in the Fall with Spanish Moss wafting from the branches


Taking a boat tour of the waterway.


This is the canoe livery in the state park. Canoes are available for rental and easy to access.




Enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery.


Wade had a couple of days free so he drove over and spent the night and next day with us. We managed to hike some trails and take the boat tour. We grilled some steaks which were slightly crunchy but very delicious.


This is NOT at Caddo Lake. We spent a night in Tonkawa Park (or some such) where they had some free ranging very friendly deer. Bonnie isn't quite sure how she feels about that.

We made it home in time for Thanksgiving and lots of family and food.
