Windy

Waco, Texas

Weather: low 64 degrees, high 73 degrees, cloudy, winds 20-30 mph from the south, with gusts to 35-40 mph. Heavy rain is expected tonight with high winds continuing. Tomorrow's forecast is calling for the possibility of snow.

We were going to leave Waco today, but the high winds out of the south helped us to decide to stay at least another day. We don't like to drive into winds as high as what we saw here today. When we do leave, we plan to go to La Grange for a couple of days.

Since we have been fairly busy the last few days, we decided to stay at home today. However, in the afternoon, we went for a short drive east on state road 6 to see what was out that way. Not much, at least for the distance we drove. Then we drove down US 84 toward Gatesville. Once we got to McGregor, which is so typical of the many little towns we have been to in Texas, we turned around and drove the back roads back to the RV. Driving through the countryside helps us to understand how this area was so desirable for farming when the first settlers moved in. The land is obviously very fertile, and there is still a lot of farming being done.

That's about it from us. If the weather is good enough for us to get out some tomorrow, we'll try to have something of interest to write about.

More later, be safe.
