October 8, 2013 (Tuesday) Our temperatures have ranged from 40 degrees in the a.m. to 104+ degrees in the p.m. - and we have been in Texas, New Mexico and now Arizona.
WOW! WOW! I can't believe that it has been almost 2 1/2 months since my last post, and I am so SORRY :-(
Well, since my last post we have helped our son Bobby and his daughter Haley to move to their new home and said our "good-bye's" to the old house in Royse City, TX. We helped get things set up in the new home as much as we could. On September 12th we moved the RV to Lewisville Lake Campground in Lewisville, TX so that we could spend some time with our daughter, Laura and her family. Matthew came to the RV and spent a couple of nights with us and Dave and Matthew had a lot of fun playing games and working a puzzle of the United States. Matthew taught Dave how to play Backgammon and Dave taught Matthew how to play checkers. It was fun listening to them. :-) Then on Sept 17th we moved the RV to Bridgeport, TX and spend a couple of days doing nothing at Bay Landing. I wanted to post some pictures but for some reason it won't let me anymore...................I will have to check that out, so I am so sorry, no pictures.
When we left Bridgeport, TX we drove to Post, TX and spent 2 nights and then on to Clovis, NM.......................well now that campground (a Good Sam Park) was close to a train hub and we heard trains ALL night (not much sleep) we spent 2 nights there and then we drove on to Mountainair, NM on September 23rd and then on September 25th on to Grants, NM for 2 nights. While we were there we took a tour of the Salinas Pueblo Missions. Then on September 27th we were supposed to move to Holbrook, AZ and spend one night, but the weather was getting cold and the temperature was going to be a low of 27 degrees, (our Grey Lady, the RV, doesn't like those temps - neither does Dave :-)) so we drove onto Cottonwood, AZ (a long day for us, but we stopped several times along the way). We have been here at TT Verde Valley RV Resort and Campground since September 27th and we will be here until October 16th.
We had to drive into Prescott, AZ on September 30th so that Dave could have blood work done at the lab and get his prescription refilled. That was an all day trip, we drove over the Mingus Mountains and that was some wild ride, however a beautiful scenic drive.
We drove into Sedona one day and drove around looking at all of the Red Rock Mountains, we stopped and had a picnic lunch and the I hiked to the Cathedral Rock to get some pictures, Dave's electric cart couldn't go all the way. Dave did find the Bakery that has the Cranberry/Walnut bread that he likes. Wish I could post some pictures on here.
On Sunday Oct 6th after church we drove to Black Canyon City, AZ to Rock Springs Cafe' and met our nephew and his wife and her mother (they drove from Chandler, AZ) for lunch and had a great visit. The Cafe' is famous for their pies and they were WONDERFUL!
Our neighbors here at the campground, Doug & Terri were from Riverside, CA so they were able to tell us some things about CA. (Doug hope you found the blog alright) We enjoyed having them for neighbors, hope to catch up with them again one day.
Well, I guess that brings me update for now anyway. So, each of you take care and check back soon and see if I have been able to post some pictures.
Until next time.............................
Love, Linda

August 29, 2013 (Thursday) 71 degrees (a.m.) supposed to get to 102 today, ugh!
Well, here I am again....................still hanging in and doing the Yard/Garage Sales. However, we are thinking about just packing things up and then after the move to the new house we will have a couple of Yard/Garage Sales in the new neighborhood. Bobby will probably be using some of the things that we have been trying to sell, since they have not sold.
We finally sold the little yellow MG car this past Saturday (thank you Lord) now we just need to sell the 4 -wheeler, so we don't have to move it. Sorry, for some unknown reason I can't seem to post any pictures. :-(
We will be moving this weekend (and the temps are going to be 100+ aren't we just lucky?)
Everyone have a good day..................................

May 27, 2013 (Monday) - Temperatures have been from the 41 degrees for the low and 94 degrees for the high since my last post.
WOW, I need to apologize for the long lapse since my last post, I can't believe that it has been almost a month. Well, in defense for myself, some of the time is due to bad Internet signal and the rest is because we have been busy with our children and friends here in Texas.
So, here goes..................since my last post we have moved from Lakehills, TX to Whitney, TX (Internet no better there) to Bridgeport, TX and now are at TT Bay Landing. Laura and her family and Haley came to spend some time with us. We rented one of our Free cabins stays for them and we enjoyed (especially the grandchildren) having the pool to ourselves and just spending time with each other. Tim came to the campground when he could (we are about an hour from their house) and Bobby & Kim came one day to bring Haley here and they stayed for dinner. Bobby came back one more time to have dinner with us at this cool place in Bridgeport, called Yesterday's (this place has a 50's theme).
Since my last post we have moved from TT Medina Lake in Lakehills, TX to TT Whitney Lake in Whitney, TX. While there I met with my granddaughter, Katie (we met by text):-) Katie needed to "interview" me about the Cold War. Well, I was surprised at what I could remember (which I thought I had forgot) when she started to ask me questions, it was kind of fun to remember those things and be able to help out Katie with her project.
Our Home at Whitney Lake
We were able to hear the Amber Waves Band again at Whitney, and it was good to see them again, we had met/heard them last year in Wilmington, OH. We also went to Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, TX to see the dinosaur tracks. We also went to Corsicana, TX to an Airshow and that was so cool to watch the models being flown, they even had one that looked like a lawnmower

April 30, 2013 (Tuesday)
Temps have been - for the low (34) and the high (82) since my last post and everything in between
Hello everyone, well here I am again. My shoulder has been hurting so not much posting going on. Since I last posted we have moved from TT Colorado River in Columbus, TX to TT Medina Lake in Lakehills, TX. It has been rather quite again, here in the Texas hill country I don't have a good phone signal....................except for some reason I can still send and receive texts, go figure.
I have been reading a lot and finally finished the series of books that I was reading by Karen Kingsbury (The Redemption Series; The Firstborn Series & The Sunrise Series) and the final one "Coming Home" - Wow, what a journey the Baxter Family has taken me on and I loved ALL of these books. I will be looking for more of Karen's books.
Here at TT Medina Lake there are a LOT of deer and they come every morning wanting deer corn.
Our Home
See the new antlers coming in
Some of the group
Oh...............and turkeys too!
Medina Lake - so sad to see it so low

Got anything to eat in there???????

Our little squirrel friend that comes by too
We did drive into San Antonio, TX to do some site seeing, we drove the Mission's Tour
and the Mission's are so pretty, amazing that they have lasted so long. Some of them are in the process of restoring them, each church is still used for services on Sunday.
This squirrel is determined to get to the bird seed

Friday I was able to find a Blood Donor Center where I could go and donate, I was about 2 weeks past due my eligible date, so not too bad. I have donated blood every 56 days (or as close to that as I can) for many years.
Here at Medina Lake we also have turkeys and Jack Rabbits, we saw this one the other day while we were out riding our bikes.
What big ears you have!
We were able to find 4 deer antlers this year, we were a little later getting here this year than we were last year. The bucks start dropping their antlers in February.
Well, tomorrow is moving day.........................to Whitney, TX. So until the next time, remember what I always say:
Keep the Faith Keep Smiling Keep a song in your heart

April 19, 2013 ( Friday)
Temperatures have ranged from 41 degrees (a.m.) to 86 degrees (high) since I last posted
My oh my, how the days get away from me an before I know it - it has been 10 days since I last posted, my memory isn't what it used to be.................................oh wait..................it never was any good...................guess I can't use that excuse. Well, since my last post we have been pretty quite, just resting and reading. I was getting over the UTI and then my right shoulder and upper arm started bothering me.........................what next! We spent a lot of time at TT Colorado River just relaxing and reading and watching the deer, the birds and the hummingbirds.
We did however, drive to Schulenburg, TX and follow the Painted Churches tour, these churches are just amazing.

This was an amazing tour and we talked to a lady that grew up in Texas and had never heard of the Painted Churches until recently and she was doing the tour too.
This is our home here at TT Medina Lake
The deer outside our door this morning eating deer corn. See the new antlers growing on this buck?
We have been out looking for deer antlers and have found 3 so far. The bad thing is that one of the deer ate my Aloe Vera plant.....................:-( I will have to be more careful what I sit outside.
Until next time.................Keep the Faith; keep smiling and keep a song in your heart. :-)
