About Those Grandchildren, Part 2 ( November 6 - 12)

Dear Family and Friends,

Sunday was our first full day in Terrell, Texas. Most importantly, it was Bear's birthday. Our much loved labradoodle celebrated his second birthday. We are grateful that he is sharing our adventure with us and he has adapted to his life on the road without any problems.

On a walk around the RV park Sunday morning, I took some pictures.
The sign on this area reads "Man Cave."

Happy Birthday Bear!

Lots of lone stars in Texas! 

Bear loves to run off leash.



Poor Texas has had a difficult time with drought.

In front of our site are some ducks. 



Monday and Tuesday were very rainy, blustery days. We managed to have a General Electric tech visit us at our site to take a look at our microwave/convection oven. After assuring us that the unit is in tip top shape and not in danger of starting a fire (something we are very aware of in a RV), we met Rob and Abby for dinner in Dallas. Gloria's is a favorite restaurant of ours and we have been going there since Abby was a baby. She loves their bean dip.

Wednesday found us on a field trip to Will's Point, Texas. The population is close to 3,500 people. We had fun seeing the sights. The following pics are of Will's Point.

The train station is now a museum.

Thursday and Friday found us busy with cycling, a trip to Dallas to an Apple appointment (trying to get all of our Apple products connected to I Cloud and we are almost there) and picking up our granddaughter for a sleepover in the Tour.

Roger, Bear and I picked up Abby after school on Friday. We stopped on the way back to Terrell to get some surprises and things for dinner. Abby had fun exploring the RV, helping me cook dinner and playing at Bluebonnet Ridge.

Abby loves her new guitar!

Jackson is spending Saturday night with us as it is his turn to sleep in the Tour. Stay tuned for more pics of the grandchildren on next week's blog. Remember, you were warned!! Thank you for following us on our adventures in the Tour.

  1. A very happy late birthday to Bear! Looks like you guys are having a wonderful time. Hope you got some of the rain that came through here. I know just about all of Texas can really use it.
