More From My Chair

Here is some different zoom levels from my chair. The second one is one towards the horseshoe lake with a large yogi statue on the right side and cabins on the left. The picnic basket dumps water out about every 5 minutes for lots of wet fun. The first one is towards the back of the rig with cabins. The cabin on the right is the one Dennis stayed in during his visit.

The View From My Chair

This is what I see today from my chair outside. View will change as we get busier.

New Spot!

We moved to our new spot Monday. We need to get a good size rug for the gravel. Note in the second picture is the Maintenance Office, otherwise known as the boss's office.

Visitor and Change?

Well Dennis visited us for a couple of days. It is always nice to see family. He even had one of the cabins to stay in--nice. So we visited him too-at the cabin. It was nice (warm) for his visit-between 75 and 80. Hope he had some enjoyable time here too.
We are moving spots soon, I think. They are getting ready for spring break here, so will be quite busy soon. April is working out the details of her teaching position at a brand new school that she will have preschoolers and it will be year round, so that will be different. I hope it works out--she is soooo excited about it. That will mean a change in plans again as to what I do. So it is a little perplexed around here right now. Lots of decisions to make with a shortened time table too. It will be about a month until we know how the teaching will go, but we need to make some decisions this week, so it will be interesting. We have enjoyed about a week of temps in the 70's now after the hard freeze days when it was only in the 20's. I am getting better at getting around in the city now. We went to the RV show last week and I picked up and dropped Dennis off at the airport this week, so I am getting some practice time on the streets. April even drove to the school yesterday by herself and didn't get lost.

Road Trip . . . Galveston Island

It started out raining on Sunday morning, so we did not work. After noon, we decided to head to the Gulf of Mexico as it was humid and a sunny 74 degrees here. When we got to the island, it was only 64 there and still cloudy-the storm still was not moved out. But we got a few pictures here. You will see one of the pastel houses along the beach-the first floor is up a flight of steps, with parking below. There is a paddle-wheel boat (ferry) and a fishing dock. There is one with a boat tied with some pyramid shaped buildings in the background. And the sign as you approach the bridge to the island. We have a few more, but alot of them were dark. Anyway, today (Monday) was also 75 degrees, but it is supposed to start raining tonight and by tomorrow night the low is forecast to be 22! They even said there is a chance of snow on Thursday and Friday, then back to around normal Saturday with a high in the 50's.

Sunburn During January?

Yep, I was raking leaves for a few hours this week and even with a hat on, my face got some sun. I think I was looking down, not up while raking, but you never know. Today it is 64 and sunny and we had to break out our shorts. Tried fishing today, but no luck. Maybe I need the mini-marshmallows? They want me to power wash some of the cabins by the lake. Someone started on one and it looks bad since it is not done. So maybe Saturday if it stays nice, I will be doing that. Still gets cool at night-mid to upper 30s. Sounds like we may have a visitor in about 3 weeks. Not much going on until March here, so it is quiet. I'm ready to do more whenever they need me.

First Full Week In Texas

We have spent our first full week here now. It is a nice place and big too. There currently is 75 cabins with 34 more planned for this year! There is 10 primitave tenting sites with table and fire ring only, 42 with water and electric only, and 113 full hook up sites. In addition, there is a mini golf course, big water slide, small water feature park, stocked fishing lake, small petting zoo, outdoor movie theater, large game room, 3 food areas, two laundry rooms, and more. Here is some photos around the park. It has been cool and wet here most days so far. It seems that we bring rain everywhere we go. April is finishing some items for teaching, so she may be doing that as soon as next week. Driving is very different here with all the lanes changing and exits are strange too. Driving at night is challenging. Once you are off the main highway, there is no lines or reflectors on the roads and also no lights. The roads do not go in a straight line either. But we will get used to it or just not drive at night. We have not ventured out much as of yet, but we will once I get a good area map. I hope to stop at AAA monday to get one.
