First of all Sherri and I would like to wish all our friends out there a Happy New Year!
We have been real busy traveling back and forth across the state. When my sister went in the hospital in Amarillo we traveled there to be with her and my brother in law. She was in a coma that she never came out of and soon died. I would like to thank all of you that sent your prayers and well wishes to me and my family.
The funeral was in Abilene 100 + miles south of Amarillo. We drove there and spent a few days with the family and then it was back to the lake for a short stay.
As you can see we have been on the move for some time now. We did get a break at Christmas to head down to Galveston to see my other sister and brother in law. It was a bitter sweet visit…knowing we were the only two kids left now makes you realize that life is short with no guarantees.
We did have some fun moments…riding the ferry and driving around to see some of the sites. The weather was not very good and walks on the beach were short. The wind blew and the rains came but we made the best of it.
I was disappointed that we did not get to do some of the things on the beach that good weather allows but we did have a good time. Kris enjoyed playing in the sand with his toys on the two dry days we had. He could not understand why we could not go out when it was raining…yes he is blond!
Kris and I did get to play on the beach some
The stockings were hung waiting for Santa
And sure nuff he showed up and left some great gifts
Our stay was short but sweet and we had to pack up and head north. Back to our refueling oasis at Lake Tawakoni. There was things there that needed seeing to and clothes to wash. These are things that you cannot put off too long.
We did have a great New Years eve fireworks show put on by our nephews and Kris. They enjoyed the light show and so did we. I hope that all of you did the same.
After the new years celebration we packed up once more and headed east to Jackson Mississippi to visit with our close RVing friends John and Bridget. We drove 6 hours to get there. They both met us at the Flying J where we were refueling and so we could follow them to their camp spot. We got the site across the street from them and set up camp.
Across Louisiana and on to Mississippi
Which way do we go from here?
Bridget had put a ham in the oven and they had us over for dinner. We had cabbage and black eyed peas with the ham and let me tell you…it was great.
Thank you John and Bridget for having us over…we sure enjoyed the food. They invited us to go the Bridget’s Mom and Dad’s house for a visit and a game of cards. They had us over just to beat the snot out of us…which they did! I wouldn’t have it any other way.
OK I know I have gone on too long. We will be back as soon as I can find another good signal to get on the Internet…

We are truly saddened to hear of the passing of your sister who we have kept in our prayers. Now our prayers will go out to you, your other sister and your families for the strength to recover from your lose.
So sorry for your loss. Losing a family member is the hardest thing. Peace to you.
Joe, we are so sorry to hear about your sister. I hope you can find peace soon.
If we were still in Galveston, we would have loved to have met up with you and Sherri but we sold the house late last summer and moved just outside of Livingston, Tx.
We've been here for a couple of months now and been busy remodeling an old house. We are located on the Texas Forrest Trail and love all the wildlife.
Safe travels.
Connie
