Fri Feb 27

Hi Everybody. Well today certainly was an air condition day. It got to 91 this aft but still not to humid. We went to Campwood for lunch with Gale and Ken and had a great time. It was a buffet -all you could eat. Some Mexican and some American food.The trip there is so scenic with the cliffs right beside the road. We also showed Gale the small campgound we dis covered south of the town that she could put her kayak in at.on the Neuces river. They both really liked it there.Everyone's first question around here is "Were ya"all from" Well thats about it for tonight . Hope ya'll have a great weekend! bye for now Ron and Dee

Mon.Feb 23

Hi everybody,today was nice and sunny again but on the cool side. We had frost last night.Tomorrow the weather is supposed to turn around and get much warmer.
We went into Leaky today to mail a couple of letters- 1 to Mike and 1 to my sister Ruth. we'll see how long it takes to get there.Hi to Mike and Lynne,its good to get your e-mails.Sorry about all your snow but that's out of my hands.Glad to hear Larry and Jean are enjoying our blog and hope to meet them sometime this summer.I think the 4 of you would love it down here especially since you only need a shovel for doggy poop.It seems there's a skunk who likes our park as much as us. He's been roaming around here for the last couple of nights!Pepe even had the nerve to spray a couple of huskies that sleep outside at night.The dogs live in a brand new motorhome down the street and their owners had to use the baking soda,peroxide and hot water bath on them yesterday.(a few times).I wonder what else is out there.
Ann its good to hear Echo is back home-she's probably got the Texas redneck attitude-so look out!
Well thats about it for tonight .Hope y'all had a great day. bye for now Ron & Dee.

Sun Feb 22

Hi everybody ,not too much happening today.Just enjoying the weather. Its sunny but on the cool side. We did our walk this afternoon and then Gale and I went up to the hall to work on our new puzzle. Boy is it ever hard!Its horses splashing through a stream with a forested area behind them .Should be a while working on this one.
We visited a bit with the granchildren until their computer didn't work anymore, but at least we got to tell them we missed them.
So all and all its been a great day-hope you have a great day too! Ron and Dee

Fri Feb 20

Hi everybody,Not too much happened yesterday .I can say the potluck dinner was delicious as usual with 43 people showing up and lots of different kinds of food.My cabbage rolls were a hit also.
Today we were off on the 3 Sisters scenic route which took us past the exotic farm again. here are some kangaroos that we spotted this time as well as a couple of camels.127 miles over the mountains.3 hrs long avr 34 mph.
They seemed pretty people friendly as we took there pics.Just kind of looked around as if to say "are you done yet?"

The scenery was just spectacular and at one point we were up 2400 ft on top of mountains. We met some road bikers and i dont know how they ever made it up some of these hills.Must have some strong leg muscles!It was a great sunny day for it with a cool breeze to boot.


As we stopped at lookout for pics this mama deer was guiding her 2 fawns across the road.



A cliff in one of the canyons.We stopped for lunch in Campwood
eating at the "Holy Smoke Barbacue pit"It served up pulled pork or beef on buns with sauce and baked potatoes.Oh my gosh was it scrumptious! and nice clean INDOOR bathrooms.
When we walked in we both said Holy smoke does it ever smell good in here ---thats probably how it got its name.
Today we reserved a spot here for 3 months next year if everything goes right .Its too nice to pass up a spot. Well bye for now -take care hope y'all have a great weekend! Ron & Dee
