Quiet

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 48 degrees, high 52 degrees, cloudy skies

It was a typical winter day near the Texas gulf coast from a weather perspective: cold, cloudy, some wind, and everything felt wet. We've got to start finding better places to spend the winter.

Terri and Thomas stayed at Lori's house last night, so it was quiet at the RV. They will be leaving on their way back to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Tuesday, and we will miss them. It's been nice having both our daughters nearby. There is some hope that eventually it will happen on a permanent basis.

Since it was so quiet at the RV, it felt like old times for Carolyn and I. We did much the same things we do when we're out exploring the countryside. Sleeping late, leisurely waking up and getting the day going, late breakfast, daily walk, a trip to the WalMart Mall, a little television, a movie, reading....... I think you get the picture. A typical day for us. That sounds like retirement. Now, if the weather would get better, it would be even better.

Looking forward in our plans, it appears as though we will be leaving here on the 10th, next Sunday. Our first stop will be in Taylor for a deferred supper date with my nephew Scott and his wife Chriselda. After that, we plan to be down in the Canyon Lake area for a few days. If everything works out, we may even make it out to Big Bend National Park to do some drifting around. That's a place we've never been, and we're looking forward to going there. Of course, the weather will have some bearing on whether we go or not, but those are the tentative plans. Many times, I feel like our plans are written in sand, because they get changed so much. That's part of the fun of the RV lifestyle. We're not tied to schedules. Most of the time, that is.

More later, be safe.
