Just relaxing

Dad broke a banjo string so we bought new ones.  Wow does he

sound good now!  Who knew that you should replace strings after 30 years. lol

Mittry Lake site #2

 

This is our new campsite.  Pretty cool huh.

Our pontoon is tied up to the dock and ready to go fishing.

WANTED BRUCE AND ARLEAN PARKER---RAIN MAKERS

 

We even make the cactus grow.

Walked into the Post Office yesterday in the pouring rain the postmistress said just look at that rain.  We don’t get this, we just don’t get this; I hope it rains all day.  Well, it did and the next.  We have hard rain and wind.  Schools have closed-the kids are so excited.  More rain in the forecast for tomorrow.  This Colorado River valley we are in has to irrigate year round.  That is til  we showed up.   We brought rain to east Texas, south Texas, New Mexico   and now Arizona.  We are in high demand.  They all want us to come back next year, in fact they don’t want us to leave.                             

     We were going to see a movie in town today because of the rain, but with the high wind and the roads washing away we had to stay put and keep the home-front safe.  At least here it is warm even in the rain so it shouldn’t take forever to dry everything out.

We hope you all are doing well and having fun in the snow.  Keep safe and know we are thinking about you—Love us

More Mittry Lake

I am still having trouble posting on this thing.

hiking

even Mom is climbing mountains

Imperial Valley

Isn’t this beautiful?

We are staying here in Yuma until at least

March.  OH YEAH

See what a little sun can do for you

 

How are we lookin?

Mittry Lake

EUREKA !  At last .

 

We had to go all the way to Yuma, Arizona to find warm temps and sunshine.  But we did it.

This is part of our free camping spot.

Yuma

Don’t want to leave here.  Mountains to climb, lake to fish and sun, campsite to die for and roads to explore; and weather that can’t be beat.       I am going to insert a few pictures here so you can get an idea of what it is like (for free)ten days only but --gee

Doesn’t it look fabulous?  You kids would not believe the mountain your ole mom climbed.  Thank heavens for hiking poles!  Dad is at it everyday—me every other. lol

As great as it is, I still miss you all, think of you everyday and wish the grandkids would drop us a line---you older kids too.  We don’t often get wi-fi or even phone reception, but when we do----we’d like a message or two, or three.

We’re thinking we now need a new cell phone.  It is “dispicable” (said like Donald Duck) how many things we have had to replace on this trip.  Let’s see, first was the power converter, then a 60 dollar upgrade to our GPS then Dad left his Tevos at a campsite and we had to replace them—then our generator connecters
went bad so we had to buy a battery charger.  I know I left something out but hey this is enough right here.,

Hope this finds all of you well and enjoying the snow.  love you all so much.

Leasburg Dam, New Mexico

This was our campsite in Leasburg.  The restaurant around the corner was sooooo good!One thing we sure can’t complain about is the food. 

The cold and rain

This is so not funny. Everywhere we go it gets cold and rainy. We went to the coast--we were told that last year it didn't rain for the three winter months. Not once. It sure did this year. Very unseasonably cold too. Then we go inland to Marble Falls. We were told by the park host that it hadn't rained here for three years!!! THREE YEARS We got two nice days and then rain, rain and cold. We are now moving into New Mexico which is also experiencing unusally cold weather! So Darrell, we don't just bring rain while camping with you guys. lol

Grooming Day lol

San Antonio, Texas

The Alamo

 

Spark and I moved inland.  The coast was a little too cold and wet.

Went to the Alamo and then moved too Marble Falls to camp for awhile where it is warm.

It is beautiful here and 80 degrees!  Cold is moving in thou.
