We Went to the RV Show

Glen Rose, Texas
Weather: low 32 degrees, high 43 degrees, partly cloudy all day. There is a winter storm watch for this area. Sleet just started falling at 1800 hours.

My brother-in-law, Roger, had surgery yesterday in Birmingham. We heard he came through the surgery well, and our thoughts and prayers are with him as he continues to fight cancer.

Today, we went to the annual RV show at the Fort Worth Convention Center. This makes the third time we have gone to the show, and as in the past, we drooled over the luxurious motor homes and fifth wheels. We have learned to not try to see everything because they have hundreds of RVs set up for viewing, ranging from tiny teardrop models to popups to tag alongs and on and on. The motor homes are nice to look at and fantasize, but the fifth wheels are more appropriate for what we are doing. We have been looking for another RV that would have a few more of the nicer things that we would want, but have not found something that we just had to have. The closest we have come was today, and even then the ones we liked the most would probably require us to buy a larger truck because of the weights of the RVs. We really don't like the idea of doing that. We brought home a stack of brochures, and will be reviewing the specs for the different brands and models to see if we can find something that we can't do without.

Even though we have really cut back on the number of RVs we look at when we go to the shows, there is still quite a lot of walking. I had to keep an eye on Carolyn because of her vertigo problems. We left the show after about three hours. Since we were going to pass by the area where Sam's Club is located, we stopped and picked up a few things that we use. More walking, and I had already walked five miles this morning before we left to go to the RV show. My legs and feet felt like they were going to fall off. Sure feels good to sit and rest. Ahhhh!
