Hi everybody,well what a gorgeous day this was in Concan Texas. It got up to over 70 deg. and sunny all day.I actually got a sunburn!!Everyone here was happy to see the rainy weather disapear for a change. Although it hasn,t rained a lot the drought is over here after lasting for almost 2 yrs. The live oak trees are all still out in leaf. It sure didn't look like that last year.Mike and Kathy arrived safely today as well as Mary and Tom. We were glad to see them and they picked a good day--potluck for supper. As usual it was delicious with all the southern dishes and desserts.I did baked beans that went over really great.It was nice to visit with all the folks we met from last year.Well bye for now--2010 is almost here!! time flies when your having fun....take care Dee and Ron

Tues Dec 29

Howdy everybody, Have you had a great day?We arrived at Parkview Riverside this morning at about 11:00. It rained and snowed and sleeted most of the way from Fredrick'sburg.It was 41 degrees so it didn't last on the ground too long and the roads were fine.Still better than 2" of snow at a time.Gale is here already with her new dog Sissy,and Tom and Mary are expected tomorrow. There are quite a few golfers from Canada here enjoying this great weather.Our site is different with lots of sun if and when it comes out. lol. Take care and have a great night.Gale and i are going puzzling tonight already-she said its a really hard one and Ron can nurse his cold with a good long nap!! Bye for now Dee and Ron

Sun , Dec 27

Hi everybody, We arrived in Onalaska Texas today about 3:00. The weather was terrific-nice and sunny all the way through La . and the piney woods of east Texas.High of 57deg. Onalaska is on the top of Lake Livingston and very picturesque. I bet it is so busy in the summer on both sides of the causeway.Tomorrow we head off to somewhere near Austin-haven't got that figured out yet.Thinking of you all!take care ron and Dee

Dec 26

Merry Christmas to all our family and friends. Hope you had a wonderful day celebrating. Our day was a little different- Ron noticed a flat tire on the trailer so we had to get that changed right away--it was a small stone embedded in the tire. Glad we weren't on the road at the time. After that we took a walk down the Mississippi river .It is up 12 FEET today with all the rain in the last few days! I had put some pork ribs in the crockpot to cook all day and that was delicious.
Getting here was a bit tricky as we were in a torrential downpour for at least 40 miles coming down the Natchez Trace on Dec. 24. What a storm that was!! We did pull over at one time to let all the traffic behind us pass.One good thing with all that rain --some of the dirt that we have picked up all over the trailer got washed OFF.What a mess it is.
Ron has caught a cold somewhere and so were doctoring it up with Tylenol and cough syrup. It seems to be working already.
Tomorrow were on the road again heading for Onalaska Texas, We will make it through Louisiana in 1 day.We could be off line for a couple of days again. So everyone take care and we'll talk again soon. Ron and Dee

Fri March 27

Hi everybody.Well we made it home yesterday at 7pm. It was a very long day as we drove straight through from Ky.at 8 am. After emptying the trailer fridge and grabbing just what we would need for the night -we called it a night. Boy was that nice to sleep in our own bed after 3 months.I hope all our followers enjoyed the blog , Ron sure enjoyed taking pictures for it (until the camera died!) and I really enjoyed writing it to sometimes amuse everybody.We are planning our winter trip for next year so we'll talk to you then .Hope y'all stay safe. Bye for now and have a great summer!! Ron and Dee

Wed March 25

Hi everybody,We have arrived in Shepardsville Kentucky today. At 9:00 this morning looking at the rain and, there had been no storms all night, Ron thought we could make it to here if we got busy and started packing. It turned out fine but had rain the entire way here.They had a big ice storm back in Jan all down the I-65 corridor and surrounding area of Kentucky--there are branches down everywhere. It looks awful!
So we will head for home tomorrow morning possibly going right through . Once we get to Auburn , Indiana -its only 4 hrs-so who knows
Hope ya'll have a great night and will see you soon. Ron and Dee

Tues March 24

Hi everybody, well were at the park and we were making some headway for home but a bad storm is brewing in this area .We decided rather than take a chance we can sit it out and so will stay here until Thurs or Fri at least , rather than tomorrow.If it still looks not so great we can stay for another day.The winds are suppose to reach upwards of 50mph--not good towing a trailer.
We have been using the library internet and it works great!
Well that s all for today and we will keep you posted as we go.Take care all,Ron and Dee
