Well, after 15 months of very enjoyable time at Grandview, we have finally gotten our wheels under us and are moving again. We left home last Monday after an all night rain on Sunday night. Needless to say we couldn't pull the trailer out due to the rain. Had to hitch up the tractor to pull the truck and trailer out. We went first to Huntsville to fix Janet's electrical problem. Since it had been raining there, we went to a campground east of New Waverly. We spent two nights there, got the problems fixed and started out for the Texas valley on Wednesday morning. We drove in hard rain nearly all day Wednesday and stayed in Victoria that night.
On thursday, we made it to Mission, Texas and met up with our friends from Maine. We are now staying in the RV park with them and have signed up for a week. Steve and Ellen are leaving on Tuesday, but we will probably stay a few extra days. We visited with our friend Sidney from North Dakota yesterday. He took us out to eat at a nice Italian place. Then we, along with Steve and Ellen went down to Progresso, Mexico and walked around and shopped for a couple of hours. The picture shows a Rio Grande swimmer. He is swimming north to south, however, whatever that means.
The park where we are staying is very nice. It is not at all crowded since a lot of the "Winter Texans" have gone home. The weather and temperatures have been good since we have been here. Today the temperature got into the mid 90's but it didn't seem too hot. The temperature always seems to cool down at night. I will try to keep up on the posts whenever I have internet service.
