Good-bye Arkansas Hello Texas

WOW it is Friday and we are packing it up to go to Texas. We are water logged to say the least and ready to dry out in the Texas sun shine. Our destination is Hickory Creek RV Park…yes the COE park we always return to when we are in that area. Sherri and I were up early to get ready. We normally do not have coffee on a travel morning due to the diuretic  that coffee is. Hey we are throwing caution to the wind…we may wet our pants on the the way to Texas…but what the heck.

We got everything stowed away and I backed up to the hitch dropped the RV down and latched it up. We were on the highway in no time… West bound and down. At the other end of our journey were Dreamers…waiting on our arrival. We were really excited about getting there and seeing Don and Cheryl…Mike and Leslie Rollie and Gina. They had all arrived early at the park and we were held up by this rain. At last we were on our way…a five hour drive was in front of us but we would past the  time by talking about future adventures and playing the RV Game. Yes the RV Game…we count the number of RV on the road…the first one to call it gets the count. How simple have we become in our retirement????

We finally arrived at the RV Park and all the gang was there. We immediately made the dinner plans and Mike and Leslie house was chosen as the spot for the party. We all made it over there about 5:30 and the grills were readied for the meat. Drinks were served and stories were told and laughter was heard through out the park. All it takes is a few Dreamers to get together and fun is bound to follow.

Rollie and Mike manned the grills…Don and I were there for moral support. Dinner was out of this world and everyone ate too much but then that is what it is all about. Many embarrassing stories were told about me…but it did not stop me from eating and I stuck it out. This was so much fun…we were planning tomorrows get together before we even left. At 10:00 we had to break it up due to the quiet time.

Looks like great fun -- wish we were there!! "Hi!" to everyone! I loved the pics of Kris on Rollie's blog -- he looked so tiny up there in that big truck! I remember when my boys were that age - they couldn't get enough of that stuff -- trucks, tractors, trains, if it had wheels they loved it!
