Those of you who have owned, loved and shared your life with animals, know the hole they leave behind when they die. Gumble passed away early this evening , Friday, April 9th in the RV . He didn’t make it back home after all. 😞😢 He’s going to leave a big hole in my life. When you are traveling solo, as I have done for 3 winters, your pets are your one constant. They share your house, your bed and…
Did you ever have the experience of having a large black bumblebee hover ( like a helicopter about to attack) about arm’s length in front of you at eye level and look you in the eye? Then fly around you and do it again and again? Well I did! 😬 And it was obvious to me that this bee was trying to communicate something to me. Most likely, get out of here!! It took place on the side of my…
Hello everyone! I am writing to you from the parking lot in front of Super Suds coin laundry in Wynn, Arkansas. 😃 It is about 7 miles from Village Creek State Park where I am staying. Why the parking lot? Again, I have one tiny bar on my cell phone at the State Park…when I’m lucky!! So here I am. I stopped at Sonic to get a good egg burrito, and came here to do some laundry before I hit…
I got my covid-19 vaccine today! Never was I so excited in my life to get a shot! ( March 30th) I have had a hard time finding anyone who even HAD doses available in Texas. Whenever I went online to check places, it was a five day wait. Since I’m on the move, I was trying to look at places ahead on my route, but it never changed. Now I am in Arkansas at Lake Catherine’s State Park, near…
Last night I slept pretty well at the rest area. I was fortunate in that the semi next to me parked around 6:00p.m. and never moved until probably 6:30 in the morning. That makes the evening much quieter. I knew when he pulled out, as the morning sun suddenly flooded into the bedroom, right into my face and woke me up!! The cats immediately took up positions on each side of me, looking me in the face expectantly. I told…
I’m going to start catching up now on some of the interesting things I never had time to share before. One of them is information about Goliad, Texas. I’m going to divide it into the history of the city, the history of the missions, and the history of the fort. That will be the focus of each of the three parts. History of Goliad Goliad is the third oldest municipality in the state of Texas, and one of the oldest…
Well, writing everyday a little bit sure didn’t work out. By the time I was able to text or email with family it would be late and getting dark so I’d go back to my campsite. During the daytime I was busy but I will catch up! 🤔 I know! I keep saying that. I’ll probably be writing long after I’m home 😬 I left Garner State Park 2 days ago and had reservations at Potter’s Campground on Canyon lake….
Hello everyone. I left Goliad after a very busy and historically interesting week. Many great things to share about the history of Texas. I am now farther west at Garner State Park. It is West of San Antonio, Texas. It is the most attended State Park in Texas. It is 1,700 acres and has lots of campsites at five different loops throughout the park. Beautiful area and very nice how they have everything laid out. They are on spring break…
Today is Saturday February 27th. And I’m on the road again!! 👍 I was able to pick up my truck Thursday evening. As it turned out, they were not checking the wiring all that time I was worried about. 😬 The gist of it is, they charged the batteries for a day, then determined it was the alternator and ordered the alternator after talking with Nathan. Alternator was installed but the batteries would not hold the charge. So two new…
If someone were writing a novel about a woman my age RVing solo, and put in all the unusual experiences that came my way, readers may say ‘yeah right’ with rightful skepticism. Let me take a moment to show you what I mean and review the journey before I add the latest!! First she traveled all the way down to the furthest point in Louisiana and got chased out by a hurricane. The reader might think ‘yeah, right’. A bit…
