Thursday on the Road.

Site 69 Tawakoni

We made it to Tawakoni State Park and found a great site. We have full hook-ups here.

OH NO my eyes came open and I know that it must be time to get up and get ready to leave again. It is Thursday morning and we are going to Wills Point… the money refueling stop in our life on the road. Coffee has to be  made this morning and it has to be consumed by us so we can remember how to get there. If it were not for coffee and road maps Sherri and I would be two lost balls in the tall weeds.

I cannot remember who made it up and down to the kitchen to make the coffee but my money would be on Sherri. I am not as fast out of the sack as she is. I did get a cup and drank it down while posting my journal on line. We had a fairly good Internet connection at Tall Pines and I could get on early and post before our house guest got up and started demanding all my time.

I must say this…I love keeping my little buddy. He is the only child that has ever really loved me with all his heart. Non of my kids ever loved on me as much as he does. They all tolerated me to some extent and that was about it. My little buddy on the other hand loves me unconditionally. We are pals till the end. So if you ask yourself….Why does this man take on this responsibility…you will know.

OK moving right along…We have to pull out this morning and head West. Sherri mentioned that we would need to do some washing before we left so she got two loads together and Kris and I went to the laundry mat to do them. He and I had the oh so familiar talk about him being good and not running wild. You know that really does some good for about the first five minutes you are there and then the gloves come off…his gloves. Mine…well they stay on cause he is so cute. We had a fairly calm time at the laundry and we did get the clothes washed and dried.

During this whole process I went and picked up some burgers for us all to eat. Sherri took over the clothes and Kris and I went to get diesel for $2.59 and burgers for the same price each. When we returned we ate our lunch and I hooked up the house dumped the tanks and pulled out.

We only had to make one Pee stop on the way. Most all those are emergencies with a 3 year old. They don’t feel like they have to Pee until they HAVE to Pee! I pulled off at the next exit,,,you know you do not have time to research a good place to pull off…you just take the next exit and pray that there is someplace to inch off the road. Of course the first place we stopped was not a good one so I scouted out another and it was good so the pit stop was successful.

The rest of the trip was uneventful…other than the Cars Movie not coming on when it was suppose to. And then I forgot to put the truck back into Tow-Haul and it started down shifting…but that was all corrected.

Plenty of room for my little buddy to ride around on the 3 wheeler.

The weather said that it might rain this weekend so Sherri and I decided to stay at the State Park down the street from our lot. We don’t have the driveway in yet so we thought it would be better not to get stuck out on the yard. We have to pull out for Lake Lewisville Sunday morning and did not want to have to call Good Sam to pull us out.  Tawakoni State Park has full hook ups here…yes sewer! We really like it here and don’t have to worry about dumping. We are in Site 69 with an extra wide drive so the little guy can ride his 3 wheeler all over.

Well here I am once more at the end of my post. I will get on chat tonight and see what all my Dreamer friends are up to. I will post some pictures of our site and then I will get ready for this…another day….

Hey Joe,
Sounds like you are enjoying life and your new buddy.

I like your writing style and pictures. We're looking forward to meeting you guys at the Rally in Kerrville.

My lack of a good connection prevents me from logging on to the RV-Dreams Chat (not that I have done it that much when I did have a good connection...)but I'll be checking in on your blog when I can.
