Departing Lake Ray Roberts

This morning the alarm was going off and I just knew that Sherri would turn it off shortly. This did not happen…I waited and it just kept going off so I turned over to shake her from her comma but she was not it bed. The alarm was getting louder so I rolled over  and shut it off.

Sherri was already up and in the bathroom so I slid out of bed and went down to make coffee. By the time I got it going she showed up and reminded me that she could not have coffee this morning due to her Doctor appointment tomorrow so I get all the coffee to myself.

Today is the day that we head to Lake Lewisville to spend the rest of the week. We will be there through Monday at which time we will take the RV by to get some work done on it. We have been planning this for over two months and still have not got it done. We are on the move a lot and stopping long enough to get work done has not been possible. I hope that they can do the few things that we need done Monday so we can move on. We have a full schedule for the rest of this month and on into August. We are going to northern Louisiana…southern Arkansas up to Kansas…back down through Oklahoma…and then?

I have to tell you that we are really enjoying the time and the travel that we have had so far. I know Sherri is working but only 3 days a week and then the rest of the time we have for adventures. We have the best of both worlds and it is working out great. This is a boost for our budget and when I get some time to work it will be all we need to supplement our funds for having fun.

I do hate to leave here for several reasons…One is the lake right out back of the RV…our patio is so nice and my little bird friend will be wondering what happen to his girl friend in the window. This little fellow has been on my ladder pecking at the window trying to make time with the reflection of himself in the back glass. He will have a nervous breakdown when I pull out of here today. I hope he can find a mate before he goes off the deep end.

I don’t know when the little guy has had time to eat? He spends all day long right here trying to get the attention of his reflection. I guess some humans do the same thing and waste their whole life chasing something that is not there.

Well I guess I better get outside and try to get some more waxing done. My friend Mark Hall would be so proud of me for getting my RV waxed so pretty. I have been using his special formula for cleaning and then I have waxed some areas that need it. I will have to say that it is a show stopper for the people here at Ray Roberts. They stop and tell me how good it looks so that keeps me polishing. I kind of hate to hitch it up and pull it down the road today and get it all dirty. Oh well you do what you have to do.

We left out about 1:30 and crossed the dam on the south end of the lake.

These pictures were taken from a moving truck and trailer by Sherri so we did not get the best shots. We are headed West and then South to Hickory Creek COE.

First we had to stop by Camping World and purchase us a Blue Boy. We have been staying in State Parks and COEs a lot and we need to be able to have plenty of holding tank. This will allow us to dump occasionally and not have to worry about the holding tanks…Thanks Fred and Jo for the idea.

OK we got to our new site and backed in with no problem…well maybe some we are a little unlevel but not so much as to change it. I will have to get everything set up tomorrow when Sherri gets back from the Doctors office. I would like to get it all done before it gets too hot.

I do not have a good shot at the southern sky so no TV for now. I will have to see if I can correct this problem tomorrow…my bride has to have her TV. Until then I will bid you a fare the well…
