Packing up and Moving on

 

  We are back in our home for a while. This is at Hickory Creek COE on Lake Lewisville

We slept in this morning. Yes not often do we get to sleep in while on the road. We were up at 15 till 6:00 and Sherri beat me to the shower. I just laid there in bed and waited for my turn.

Sherri was not too long and soon I was clean and shinny. Fresh clothes and a cup of coffee made me feel like a million bucks. We had a spot of breakfast and then loaded into the truck for the ride to Denton Texas. Yes  we were headed to pick up our home but we got a call from our boss who re-routed us to a store in Hickory Creek. Actually this store is right across the street from Hickory Creek COE Park. What luck!..we are only 30 minutes from the dealership and when we get through working we can drive down the street and pick it up and then back the other way to the COE Park.

This all came together just as we had planned and when work was over we were up at the RV Dealership to pick up our home. It sure looked good setting out there on the lot waiting for us.

All the work was done except for a few minor things that we had forgotten to add to our list. Really we had no major problems with the RV just the usual warranty items that most people have after a year of living in their new homes. Carriage comes highly recommended by me and my wife when it comes to quality and durability.

After doing our walk through we hitched up the house and headed for the park. We did not have a reservation so we had to do a walk up only. Lucky for us they had a site open down by the lake. We have a nice view out the Arizona Room windows. The sites down on this end of the park have some of the best views here and we always try to get this loop.

I can almost smell warmer weather coming. The bridge in the background is the I35E bridge.

We got parked about 5:00…just missed the heavy traffic on I 35E. Unloaded the truck…about 2 weeks of motel stays…back into the house and then fell into the recliners for a breather. Sherri mentioned eating at Texas Roadhouse and suggested that we get a move on before the going home traffic jammed up the highway. The recliner was not even the slightest bit warm when I had to drag up and get back in the truck.

The geese are real friendly here but they leave a mark around the trailer that you have to be real careful that you don’t step in.

The traffic was choking about this time and the parking lot at the Roadhouse was overflowing. We were surprised to get seated as fast as we did. I ordered the ribs….full rack and Sherri got the chicken. Needless to say we did not walk away hungry. I have a take home plate that will feed me tomorrow.

We are now back at home playing on the computers. We had first thought we would be off tomorrow but that all has changed. Now we have a short job to get done in Denton and then we have the rest of the weekend off. It will be good to be off on Saturday so I can prop my feet up and relax…count my money and dream of that day we will be headed off to some distant adventure….
