We are still at TT Lake Conroe in Willis, TX and have enjoyed our stay here very much.
Let me see, what have we been up too the last 10 days (I just can't believe that it has been 10 day since I logged in to this blog) well here we go.......................hang on..................
for starters the temperatures have ranged from 32 degrees to 87 degrees these last 10 days, boy what a range and the wind..........................WOW, well, we know we are in Texas for sure.
I have taken walks around the campground (sometimes in shorts and sometimes in jeans and a jacket) and talked to some of the other campers. One good thing is that the clothes when I hang them outside dry really fast.
Well, I finished reading the "Firstborn Series" by Karen Kingsbury, sad to see it end, I have loved reading these books.....................however...................the next series "Sunrise" also follows the same family in addition to some of the other families in the other books. I couldn't find the "Sunrise" series at the Library, so I had to buy 2 of the books from Amazon and my sister Eva Mae had loaned me the other 2 books.
Last year while we were in Batesville, IN we met a couple, Bob & Jan and really enjoyed talking to them, Jan is just so funny. Jan is not a reader and she was always saying to me "when are you going to be reading, I want to talk". I have tried to get her interested in reading to no avail. Well, I knew that they had been in Texas for the winter, so I sent her an email on the 19th to find out if they were still in Texas and let her know that we were at TT Lake Conroe, come to find out, they were here at the same campground, however, they were leaving the next day. Later in the morning they came by and we had a wonderful visit catching up on the last several months. Jan had made us some RV cards (with our picture and our information) and they were wonderful, well she made us some more and brought them to us that evening.
On our trip to Texas we started having trouble with the wiper blade motor, it started making a noise............................so we drove around one day looking for a replacement, guess what, they don't make the one for our RV (too old I guess) anymore. They do have one that can be used, but the RV has to be modified for it to fit. We will do that later.
On Thursday, the 21st we drove to Kingwood, TX to pick up my friend Debbie. Debbie and I bowled together for years I West Virginia. After we picked up Debbie we drove to Galveston and drove around looking for The Trees of Galveston, we found some of them and took some pictures. Later we drove to Pleasure Pier on Galveston Island and had lunch at Bubba Gump’s (Debbie had never been there). We had a beautiful view of the ocean from our table. After lunch we drove to Seabrook, TX to find some live blue crab for Dave, the 2nd place we stopped Emory’s Seafood, had some and Dave was able to pick the ones he wanted – Debbie and I stayed in the car and talked. We drove Debbie back to Kingwood to her house and then we drove home and got there just in time for a Hamburger Supper at the Family Center at the campground. A wonderful day with an old friend.
These trees were what was left of the 100 year old Oaks after Hurricane Ike came through in 2008.
Someone can in and sculptured them into some beautiful statues.
