Moving day...on the ice?

 

This morning I heard Sherri up in the kitchen making coffee. I raised my head up so I could see the clock across the room. It was 6:30...time to rise and shine. Noticed that the sun was not shinning this am and that the snow was still on the ground. The furnace was running and it was nice and warm so I slid from under the covers and ventured down to the kitchen to secure me a cup of coffee.

Sherri was in her recliner now and I got into mine and pulled the throw up over me. We had the blinds up and I could see the reflection of lights across the lake twinkling in the water. Not hardly a ripple on the surface of the lake which told me that we had little or no wind this morning...Good! With temps as low as they are any wind would be cutting through us like a sharp knife.

We have to move today. We hate to give up our site here at Hickory Creek. We are right on the lake's edge and have a view of the water out of every window. I will definitely make this our site from now on. I will have to secure it a head of time...being it is one of the most popular in the park.

All good things must come to an end, however and we will be moving East. The house will be staying in Denton at the dealership to get some work done on it. We have a window stool in the back that had some water damage due to a leak we had develop last summer after a hail storm. Yes we are just now getting around to having it fixed. We have to do things slowly being that we live in our RV we can't just leave it at the dealership all the time.

We plan on leaving around 2:00 pm. We have to dump of course and then drive up the road about 5 miles on roads that we are not sure of. With the snow and ice that we had here yesterday we are not sure how bad they will be. That is why we are waiting until 2:00 pm to make the trip.

In the mean time we have several things to do inside so we will get all them done before we pack it in here. We have to drive East to Lake Tawakoni to exchange the truck for the car. Pack our clothes and then head out. We hope that the roads are in good shape by that time. The East half of North Texas had more snow than here so we are going to be cautious.

 

We did make it to the dealership without any problem. The roads were clear and the traffic was light. After dropping the RV off we headed on East to our property by the lake and picked up the Jeep. The snow there was deeper but the roads were still in good shape. The rest of the trip went without any problems also and we were in the hotel before we knew it. A quick meal at the Jalapeño Tree and we were tucked in for the night.

We were safe and thankful for a day without incident...
