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.

                                                       See the new antlers coming in

                                                              Some of the group

                                                      Oh...............and turkeys too!

                                             Medina Lake - so sad to see it so low

                                               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

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.  :-)

 

April 8, 2013 (Monday) - Temperatures have ranged from 41 degrees for the low and 78 degrees for the high since  my last post

Well, today is very windy (which is good for the clothes I have hanging outside, they will dry in no time).  Since my last post we have been to Brenham, TX to visit the Blue Bell Creamery Factory and we took a tour of the plant.........................at the end of the tour we got a free sample of ice cream (we had Southern Blackberry Cobbler & Peaches & Homemade vanilla) and we could buy any other flavors for $1.00.  We tried two more flavors (we shared all 4 flavors) Krazy Kookie Dough & Moo-llenium Crunch...................they were all good.  When Dave tried to pay for the 2nd round they told him since he was a Veteran, it was free.

We have met a couple from Oklahoma, Doug & Mary and we have enjoyed our talks with them and we all went to lunch after church yesterday.  We went o Peter's BBQ,  a very good place to eat in Ellinger, TX (about 10 miles from the campground). 
Best brisket we have every had. 
Today we are just chilling out at home and doing some odd jobs around the RV - so hope everyone is having a great day.  It is beautiful here today.
