Almost home

The last wildlife we will see is Texas wildlife. Here are the horses on Tom's place. They are so beautiful and look so peaceful grazing.

The drive into Texas was uneventful as you might imagine if you've ever driven through West Texas. It is flat, brown and nothing to break the monotony of the terrain except anticipation of a visit with the Bristow family.





Mindy LOVED Tom's place! She ran and ran! She was free! We were worried a couple of times that she might be lost because she was running so far away...out of sight. But after a while she would come running in with a big smile on her face (yes, dogs can smile!)

We had a wonderful visit with Tom and Henrietta. Luckily, Laura was off Tuesday and Wednesday so was able to spend time with us. Matt was off Wednesday too so we had a rousing game of Hand and Foot in the afternoon. It was so good to be with family again.

Addie was adorable, as usual and kept us entertained.

Today we will drive on to Meridian and visit with Bill's aunt and cousin. We haven't seen them since Wyatt's wedding three years ago. We are really looking forward to visiting with them tomorrow. Then HOME!! Sleeping in our own bed again...showering in our own shower...cooking in my new kitchen again AND seeing our kids and grandkids! Life is good!

This has been the best trip of our lives and we have done some amazing things and seen how spectacular our country is. Thanks for sharing our first RV adventure with us.

  2. That's fantastic news. Take it easy for the last part. Remember, most accidents happen within a few miles of home! :)
