Lake Conroe Thousand Trails Feels Like Home Now. . .

that might be a bad thing. . .

we’re getting way too comfortable. . .

and beginning to understand how RV’ers

get into a rut of staying in the same places year after year. . .

this needs to stop. . . Smile

 

We are so thankful that our friend Judy felt inspired

to post this update yesterday morning on FaceBook

traffic Houston

there had been a major, major accident at I 45 and Loop 610. . .

right in our line of travel. . .

it took hours, and hours to get it cleaned up. . .

no telling how long we might have been stuck in traffic

had she not decided to let friends and family in the Houston area know. . .

Thanks again Judy!

We were able to bypass around all of it by taking Beltway 8 to Hwy 288

and then straight back on to I 45 at the Pierce Elevated downtown. . .

So here we are. . .back in our comfy RV spot at Lake Conroe. . .

the Mobile Oil and Lube tech is here

getting all things square away before we head out

in a couple of months. . .

transmission filters, fuel filters, air in the tires. . .

did you know the front tires should have 120 PSI. . .

the rear tires should have 95 PSI. . .

and the tag should have 85 PSI. . .

This was news to us. . .the tech sent Dave in to check the specs. . .

and there it was. . .plain as day. . .

I definitely learned something new today. . .

Well. . .at least half the week was fabulous. . .

the other half. . .not so much. . .here’s how it went. . .
Monday required fasting in preparation for medical testing and stuff. . .ugh. . .
so we just hung out at the motorhome, and did basically nothing. . .

Tuesday – Dave’s turn to report to Outpatient Services at 7:15 AM –
really, do they know how early in the morning that is?

Wednesday – my turn to report to Outpatient Services at 6 AM -
we just thought 7:15 was early. . .dear Lord. . .up at 5 AM. . .are you kidding me?

ahhh. . .but after that was over the good stuff began. . .

took pizzas over to our son’s house that afternoon. . .
got our hugs from two of the grands. . .really, nothing’s gonna top that. . .
didn’t remember to get any pics. . .but these will work. . .
three of my loves. . .

Thursday morning. . .breakfast with friends Winnie and Dale. . .
Winnie and Dale Wolfe - RTG Blog
we so rarely have time to just sit and visit with them. . .
so for them to have time to come over to our place
after breakfast . . .see our little rolling castle,
and just visit was priceless. . .
we need to make that happen a lot more often guys!


followed by supper with cousins. . .lots of reminiscing at that table. . .
so much fun. . .we gotta get together more often. . .seriously!
Renee Miller and Steve Clark - RTG Blog  Tammy Miller - Glynn Miller - RTG Blog
Cousin Renee’ in the red with hubby Steve. . .
and Cousin Glynn with wife Tammy. . .
Glynn was off working (nasty stuff) so didn’t get to be there. . .
we’ll catch him next time. . .but we filled Tammy in on his shenanigans. . .
we used to run the woods of the Big Thicket together. . .
oh my goodness. . .the stories we can tell. . .

Friday morning – breakfast with the Walea’s
who came into our lives several years ago
when we were travel agents, and put together an Alaskan Cruise. . .
we love them so much. . .and just really enjoy getting together with them. . .so great!
Jacque Howell 2 - RTG Blog
and then Friday evening. . .supper with Jacque and her Mom. . .
oh my word. . .we had so much fun. . .
Dave was at his ultimate comedic self. . .
we nearly busted a gut laughing at his one liners. . .
Lord have mercy. . .I don’t know where he comes up with some of that stuff. . .LOL!
So, see. . .the last half of the week has been just fabulous. . .
we really thought we would move the coach back over to
our membership park in Conroe on Saturday. . .
but alas, remembered we can’t return to the same park
until we have been out a week. . .so that will hafta wait
‘til Sunday as originally scheduled. . .

We definitely need to get out of this moving on Sunday
mode that we’ve somehow gotten in to. . .
we’re retired. . .there’s absolutely no need to
be traveling on the weekend. . .yuck!

Once we get set back up at Conroe,
we have several projects to complete. . .

More about that next time. . .
Til then,
Janice and Dave
