Out with the Old ~ In with the New

 

January started of with a bang. . .a good one!

Ed and Debi Hurlburt - Thousand Trails - Lake Conroe

First, RV Friends Debi (Debi’s RV Cooking) and Ed (RV Tips) brought their MH out to Thousand Trails – Lake Conroe for a few days.  There’s always some good eatin’ goes on when we get together. . .

Rick and Janice Binns

then, folks we met in Ohio, Janice and Rick, showed up with their beautiful Mobile Suites. . .

this is their very, very first trip following retirement in December. . .their maiden voyage. . .

they are going to love it. . .we had so much fun getting to know them better. . .

and will meet up with them again in Columbus TX before we all head

our separate directions for the summer. . .

Sunset at Lubec Maine

then folks we met in Lubec Maine this past summer, Kathi and Ron, also showed up. . .

although I didn’t know it when I was taking this beautiful pic of the sunset from our campsite in Lubec. . .

that is Ron and Kathi in their sailboat out for an evening sail.   They are very, very active. . .

carrying kayaks, a sailboat, bicycles and two scooters, and are headed to California. . .

They are going to have a great winter season. . .

Ron and Kathy's place as seen from Sunset RV Park 
and then will return this summer to their beautiful waterfront property in Lubec. . .lucky ducks!

They were in the process of getting all their utilities finished out on their property. . .

when we met them at the RV Park. . .glad they were still there. . .

Kathi gave me a lesson on preparing a lobster, and convinced me I could do it for myself. . .

RV Friends, Ron, Kathi, Ed, Debi, Janice, Rick

we all made it out for an Italian Meal at Joe’s in Conroe. . .really, really great!

 

and then the weather turned yucky. . .which meant kinda staying in and hibernating. . .

Stephen F Austin State Park Volunteer Assignment  Monaco, Satellite Dish

in between the yuck, David from Sats 2 Go managed to get our old dome removed,

and install the new Traveler SWM Dish. . .

we’re thinking we’re really gonna like it. . .

Sattellite dish has four LNB connectors. . .this is a DirecTV HD Satellite Receiver.

it’ll mean one less thing to take down and set up on travel days. . .

always a good thing. . .right?

 

Tomorrow, we follow up with some more medical appointments. . .ugh!

The things that are necessary after you turn the big 50 are just yucky. . .

so we’ll spend the night with our son to avoid

driving back across town during rush hour. . .

Catching up with them, and seeing the youngest grands

Emily Elaine Evans - Basketball (100x141) (2)

basketball game will be a bonus. . .looking forward to that!

Birds at the Feeder - TT Lake Conroe

my entertainment for today. . .

with another cold front moving in,

is sitting at my computer,

watching the birds at the feeder.

They seem to be enjoying it. . .

and I am enjoying them!

 

See you next time. . .stay in touch. . .

send us a note at EvansEscapades@gmail.com

let us know what you guys are up to. . .and where you’re headed.

Never know when paths might cross. . .

Til then,

Janice and Dave
