We've been in Victoria for 2 months now.  We are back at Lazy Longhorn RV Park.  We enjoyed it so much here last year that we came back.  There are about 15 other couples that are also back from last year.  It is really great to see all these people again.

We did go to Dodge City for Christmas to see all our children and grandkids.  Had a really great, all be it a short, visit with them all. Lydell got sick with a sinus infection while we were there.  Left there before they got a dump of snow and cold.

The past two weeks have been most cloudy, rainy, and cool here in Victoria.  We have gotten close to 7 inches of rain which will mean another spring of beautiful wild flowers.  This rain has been very badly needed and could use more.  However, this woman needs some sunshine.  I'm like my solar powered lights---I need sunshine  to recharge my batteries and my batteries are getting pretty low.

Lydell spends a couple of hours a day down at the club house visiting with the other men in the park.  I read, catch up with email and Face books, crochet, watch TV, clean, cook and do laundry.  This retired life in wonderful.

We are enjoying being back at First Baptist Church, Victoria.  Our Sunday Class is a great group of people and we have a great time studying God's word and fellowshiping.  The pastor teaches and preaches God's word and leads the church to follow Gods teachings.  The music is a good mix of traditional and contemporary. The people are a loving, friendly family.  A great example of what a church is to be.

A great start to this new year of 2013.

As Lydell would say " Catch ya later alligator"

WHOWOULDATHUNKIT--2013 and we are still here!

Well, I guess the Bible was correct again and the Myans were wrong. We are still here.  Another disaster averted.  The obama disaster is coming.  We have had a great year and are ready for new challenges.  Look out!  Here we come.  Well we welcomed 2013 through teary eyes  ( LSU LOST) and are ready for more football today.  We are getting rain here  in Victoria.  Temp 61 overnight.  Glad to be back where it is warmer.  We are ready.  Pray yall have a great year.   Happy New Year to all our friends and enemies alike.  Love you both.  Billie says nothing.  ;)  Well I better cut this short as Billie is fixin breakfast.  Will try to get around and see everyone this year if you will unlock your doors !
