Roy and I ventured into San Diego to do some shopping and found the local grocery store/hardware store all in one building. We of course had to try on cowboy hats! What ya'll think??

Texas is hot, dry, and very, very different! Haven't seen a pine tree in days. Lots of trees look crippled. One of the pictures below shows a little of that. There are beautiful fields of wildflowers and lots of green, yellow and grey bushes! Everyone we've met or spoken to has been very nice. Southern… Continue reading 04.01.14 Texas is hot, dry, and very very different!

Driving down Wardline Road and pulling into our old driveway to live for a few days had a strange feeling to it. Sitting in our RV rockers under the patio in front of the garage has a strange feeling to it too. Spraying the ditches for weeds, picking up a lot of limbs and cutting… Continue reading 03.24.14 We’re back on Wardline Road!
