Bluebonnet Trail and Adventure

Well today we have three weeks left in Victoria before we start the trip back to Colorado for the summer.  We went on a cross country trip looking for flowers and had quite an adventure.  Cross country, navigating like Billie's Dad does.  What an adventure.  We saw bukuu flowers and had a reward at the end.  Great meal at Bubba's in Sea Drift.  Ended up the day swimming and relaxing in the hot tub at the RV park.  You can follow our trip in our Facebook page.

New Year

Well.  The new year is here again.  Where did the last year go??  Went so fast.  Every year goes by faster !!!!  Or so it seems.  We had a great time being with family this last Christmas.  It was  pretty cold, though.  We both got sick.  Not used to the cold anymore.  Even had to buy coats,hats and gloves.  I am glad to be back in Victoria.  My daily wardrobe is shorts and tee shirt.  Beautiful winter weather.  Today we go to the retirement party for a good friend, John Legg.  I am happy for both of them.  Dottie, his wife, will be surprised having him home.  They will have a great time.  Billie and I have loved being retired and on the road, even if we don't have a lot of money.  We get by on what we have. Isn't that the way is has always been? John makes custom Golf putters and they both go on the road together selling them.  What fun.  We love meeting new friends at the RV parks where we stay.  Retirees in these parks are just like us.  Scarry thought, I know.  Well time to sign off for now.  Just remember, life is uncertain,eat dessert first. ;) ;)  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !!!!!!!

Merry Christmas

We have been in Dodge City since Sunday the 18th.  Monday we had a bit of a blizzard here in Dodge.  Not as bad as just west and North of us in Scott City, Ks.  They had about 18 inches of snow with winds up to 35-40 MPH. 

Monday night our daughter Melanie and her tow children-Kylee and Tucker- came over to our daughter Mishcelle's--where we are staying--just in case the electricity went out. Mischelle has a generator.  We had so much fun!! Mischelle made three different kinds of fudge.  YUMMMMM!!!!!!! And we played a new word came Appleletters. This was fun.

Tuesday---Melanie, Kylee, Tucker and I made sugar cookies while Mischelle was at work.  After supper we all worked at decorating the cookies we baked.  What fun!!!!

LOVE, LOVE this time of year spent with family.

Mr and Mrs Claus also made an appearance.

Lydell's shirt says, "Does this shirt make me look fat?"

Wishing you all a very Merry CHRISTmas and a Blessed New Year!

Merry Christmas

We are still in Amarillo for Christmas with Billie's folks.  We have had a good time.  I think we are going to see the new Sherlock Holms movie with Robert and Patsy when it comes out.  Will probably go to Dodge City this weekend for Christmas with the kids.  It will probably be colder there.   That 60-70 deg. weather in Victorial sure looks good now.  Hope we don't have any ice or snow on the way up to DC.  Will post more later.  I hate to run-on so.  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !!

O forgot !

MERRRRRRRRRRRY CHRISTMAS, YALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas times

Well.  Here we are again.  Christmas time.  We are in Amarillo for Billie's fathers birthday.  We had a long trip from Victoria on Thursday.  We will be here until Sunday 18 th.  Then on to Dodge City to see the kids and grandkids.  Boy.  It is colder here than on the coast in Victoria.  Brings back old memories.  Cold ones !!  We will have a good time in DC with friends and fellow Christians at our church there.  Looking forward to what presents Santa will leave for me  under the tree.  Will get to see my friends at the good ole USPS while I am there.  Bet they are busy !!!! Had a great year with Billie living our Great Adventure that God has provided for us.  We have met many great people on the road this year.  Looking forward to seeing them again this year.   Watch out.  I may just show up at your door this year!!  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !!!!!!

Update

Hi guys.  It has been a while.  We are doing well.  We have ordered some outside Christmas lights for Bertha.  They are solar powered so as to save on our electricity bills.  We still have our small,midget sized, Christmas tree from last year.  We have had a great time here so far.  It has stayed fairly hot and humid so far.  However cooler weather is coming before long.  A friend frim church has invited us for Thanksgiving.  Will be nice. Not much else happening here.  We have not used the pool and hot tub yet but will soon. We will be in Dodge City and Amarillo for the Christmas/New year holidays.  Will see most of yall then.  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !!
