My last entry for 2023

 

Well its that time again! The year is about to end and the new year is about to start. 

We have had many changes in 2023. Started out in Colorado and ended up in Texas. I made 3 trips to Texas pulling all the family RVs to our new home site. We had to pull our cargo trailer first and then our RV followed by my daughter. I can't even count all the pit stops for gas and snacks. About $3,000 later we had everyone here. 

We ended up just outside of Canton Texas at I-20 RV Park. I believe we have one of the better sites here at the park. Our view from our living room window is not quite as nice as our view we had in Colorado. In Colorado our back window looked out at the Rio Grande River. Here our view is Interstate 20 with miles of cars rushing up and down back and forth going God knows where. 

The mountains are gone and all the snow...sure miss my landscape views that I loved to paint. Now I just paint from memory. I had my own little studio there and now I have to use the dining room table. I guess it could be worse.

The 100 degree days just about did us all in this last summer. After living in cool summer weather for 2 years it was really hard dealing with a hotter climate. We had to have one of our AC units replaced and that bumped up our relocation cost once more. I laughed thinking back to last winter when I had to have my heater core replaced! Had I known that I would be here in Texas a few months later I think I would have reconsidered that decision. Oh well I guess I will need to be warm here too.

I want to take this time to wish all my friends out there a very Happy New Year. To my family I want you all to know I love having you all back here with me. It was nice living in Colorado but having all my family around is well worth the move.

I thank the good Lord that he has allowed me to live this long and been able to experience all that I have. I hope that my days will be long and prosperous..
