Time is flying by. We've enjoyed visits with people we have not seen for a long time. Driving has not been the easiest. Wind at a variety speeds has been with us from California to Colorado River, Texas. Here the wind blows fiercely and sends the leaves rolling across the ground.
Highlights :
1/13/09 Enjoyable potluck with Anna Schmidt in Tucson, AZ. Went to her home afterwards and played Yahtzee and visited.
1/14/09 Called our youngest son, Douglas, to wish him a Happy Birthday. Got our $376 Verizon bill corrected after much time on the phone explaining that they did not switch us to 1400 minutes from 400. We had implemented the change before we left home. Yikes!
Anna and we toured San Xavier Mission with its beautiful architecture inside and out. Outside the mission, under mesquite roofs, Native Americans were selling frybread. Of couse, we could not resist and had to buy some, It was delicious!
1/15/09 Left Voyager RV Resort and drove all day, making it to El Paso, Texas before dark. Yeah to the before dark! Not much to see, except brush, sand, unusual rock formations, and, occasionally, pecan and walnut tree farms.
1/16/09 A long day of driving with side winds, sagebrush, dead deer, rocky hills, and a time change. At the border, the patrols and dogs were checking for drugs and people being smuggled in from Mexico. We started to stop and they waved us through. Guess we didn't look dangerous. Drove as far as we could before dark and stopped in Ozona, Texas.
1/17/09 Today was a windy one again. Stopped in Boerne, Texas just outside of San Antonio and stayed at Alamo Fiesta RV Resort. Mary Sink worked as a counselor at Spinning Elementary where I was teaching. She and her family moved to San Antonio a few years ago. Mary, Max (her husband) and we connected and went to dinner at The Tin Roof Steakhouse where we chatted and caught up on each other's lives. A most enjoyable evening!
1/18/09 Another day of driving brought us to Colorado River Thousand Trails RV Park near Columbus, Texas where we will stay until the 21st. SUNSHINE! Warmth. Chilly at night.
1/19/09 Phil cleaned the outside of the RV and car, while I cleaned the inside. A day of catching up.
1/20/09 Watched the inauguration of Barack Obama on TV, visited with other RVers in the park, and prepared to leave for Houston and Janeen and Tony's home tomorrow. The days are short sleeve weather, but the nights are cool.
