Moved to Benbrook

Benbrook, Texas

Weather: low 30 degrees, high 39 degrees, cloudy early, then clear skies in the afternoon

We decided we wanted to move to new territory this morning, so here we are outside Benbrook at the Holiday Park COE campground. We left Kimball Bend COE park about 1120 hours, and were parked and set up at Holiday Park by 1300 hours. That set up included the satellite dish. Two minutes after the dish was hooked up, we had a signal.

Based on last night's forecast, we were expecting snow this morning. No luck, as it appears there wasn't enough moisture in the air for any type of precipitation at all. Even without the snow, it was plenty cold for us. The snow passed south of us, and blew up the coast into the Houston area. I hope the grandkids were able to enjoy the snow. The temperature here is supposed to be the coldest tonight that we have seen this season at 25 degrees.

We'll be here the next few days while I wait on a medical appointment. We have been through this area many times in the past, but never did much exploring. This gives us the time to check out the area and see what's here. Fort Worth is only about 15 miles away, and there's much to see there.

After we were set up and rested a few minutes, we went to McDonald's for a late lunch. On the way home, we had to stop and have a propane bottle filled. I don't want to run out of propane with this cold weather hanging on.

Carolyn was happy with the move we made today. When we were at Kimball Bend, the closest shopping of any kind was about 20 miles away. Here at Holiday Park, we're only about five miles away from a lot of stores. If she gets a yen to go somewhere, we're only ten minutes or less away.

We're going to stay warm tonight as we settle in for the next few days.

More later, be safe.
