How sweet the sound…
I woke up this morning to the sound of rain on the Barn roof. Yes R A I N….rain! Texas is getting rain this morning and I was just laying there enjoying the sound.
We are back in Texas after a two week trip to Arkansas. We stayed at the City Park in Pine Bluff…Saracen Park…which by the way is a beautiful park. They do not have 50 amp, however but if your there in the cooler months of the year you wont need it. Our site was number 48 which was total shade…no satellite…but great Verizon coverage. We could have chosen an open site for the satellite but with the extreme heat we opted for cool instead.
Now we are back at the lake here outside of Wills Point. I have doctor appointments at the VA for my yearly physical. I am not one to go to the doctor for every ache or pain but I do get my physical once a year to see how many more years I have left. My doctor has told me on every visit that I should lose some weight and every time I return I have gained or stayed the same. I guess I need to do something different to try to lose weight but most of the requires not eating as much! Bummer!
OK so we are back at the lake and it is time to catch up on the wash and the chores that have been left undone. The yard mowing I do not have to worry about…the yard is dead! Both my new trees I planted are dead and what little remains alive is near death now. Maybe this rain will help but I doubt it.
Our next big adventure appears to be southern Louisiana. We may be going down that way for a month. I love the southern part of Louisiana but I know it will be hot. Maybe if they put it off long enough it will have cooled off by then. There are many places down there that I have not seen yet so we are planning some great adventures down there.
Until then we have to ride out the rest of this month in the Texas heat! This rain today gives us a reprieve for a while so we can do a few things here to get back on track. We plan on going into McKinney today to visit Sherri’s brother and see their new swimming pool. You would know the day he invites us over to swim it rains. Now don’t get me wrong we need the rain but really Mother Nature?
I guess I better shut up for now and get to those chores. I always find more to do when I get busy…

We're not far from you here in Fort Worth. We were so thankful to see the rain, I was about to write a post with the same title as yours, so great minds... Have a great time in beautiful east Texas! Always enjoy your blog.
Good to know you're still doing well. RAIN in Texas, after hundred days of dry and heat? NICE!
So glad all is going well with you both and you are finally getting the much needed rain. Sorry your new trees died! We are also catching up on the wash since we were where there was no sewer for a couple of weeks.
Have fun & Travel safe

So sorry to hear that your grass and trees died while you were gone.
Your rain didn't come down to us in the Lake Conroe area. My grass, plants and trees still have to rely on me.
Have a great time enjoying being at home for a while.
Happy Trails, Penny, TX
