TIDBITS ON LIFE IN TEXAS

Our time here is drawing to a close.  The six months have gone by incredibly fast as we knew they would!  We are heading for Arkansas to conduct some business, maintain the RV, car, truck and Harleys and if we can still afford it, head for the Adirondacks of New York.  We have a summer gig there and are looking forward to seeing Bob's Aunt Charm and Uncle George and his late brother Warren's daughters.  In preparing for our trip, we've been watching the weather up that way and it is COLD there.  We are used to temps in the 80's here in Texas so we will be pulling out the woolies from storage before we head north.  On the way, we will stop in Cleveland, Ohio, to see Bob's daughter Alex and granddaughter Taylor. 



I've been saving some photos to post from our roaming the Hill Country.  We feel so fortunate to have been able to explore this area of the United States and look forward to coming back next winter as there is plenty we didn't get to see!
The first two photos are looking down at our campground from about a mile away.  You can see the modernization from primitive to RV sites has not been done yet.  It is so beautiful and has been a wonderful place to live.  We've been using it as our walking track and are up to 2 miles a day.  (The boats  you see are not part of our park)

Three of our closest friends came for dinner and we had to put Lucie in the RV!


Famous Luckenbach, Texas, behind the old Post Office where the only thing that gets canceled nowadays are the musical acts! 

The ATM in Luckenbach where you can get your "dirty" money and you may need it after paying for the beer!  They are proud of their beer, $3.50 for domestic, $4.50 imported.

You can tell this butterfly was in Texas.  That is my watch sitting next to it, not my ring!
And then there is Bob, a man who wears many hats!
