First want to thank Donna & Grant Zinnecker for having us over for dinner on our last night at Retama. Perfect way to end a season with our good neighbors. But it's not the last we'll see of them as they are heading towards Michigan this summer and we'll be sure to get together.
During happy hour last night with Zinnecker's and Dale/Mark Bruss we actually had some dark nasty clouds come our way. The weather channel showed some strong storms going over us but we sure didn't get anything. I think there was 4 drops of rain on the window, granted they were big drops but still .............. I think the last time we had rain was last fall. But the six of us sat inside Donna/Grants coach house and enjoy our last HH together. Bruss's will also be coming to Michigan this summer and we'll see them in July.
OK, so this morning Larry was up at his usual on godly hour but I refused to follow. I was awake but just turned the news on and watched TV in bed. Did you know that Dr Oz comes on at 6am, or at least it does here. I like watching him, has a lot of sensible information. Anyway I finally went down stairs (my kids roll their eyes everytime I mention going up or down stairs in our trailer) and got on the computer.
Long story short I was able to keep Larry from going out and hooking the truck up until a little after 8am. We got the car hooked up and were pulling out of the front gate by 9am. Going up 281 is one of the better roads we travel. We wish every road was like that, it's a divided highway but very little traffic and large shoulders if we need to pull off. Actually this road is going to be a part of 69 that's suppose to go from southern Texas to Michigan. They are working on it so there was some construction but nothing that really slowed us down.
By 1:30 we were pulling into Braunig RV Park that we always stay at going and coming this way. The people here are really nice and they have a 100ft long pull thru. I always call a couple days before and ask for my spot. Today they had a Friday night dinner of fried chicken, baked beans, potato salad, drinks and desert for $5.00 each. Sure can't be that price and the food was really good. We sat with a couple Gary & Barb Gerber (I think) who spent the winter in AZ and are heading to Canton Ohio. Because of the flooding east of here they are taking a northerly route. Told them we are stopping in the casino in Thackerville OK tomorrow night so we might just see them there.
Guess that's it for the first day on the road. Weather is good. Pretty warm when we left Retama this morning but not too bad here. The humidity has gone down and that's the biggest problem.
Till next time.....................................
