Rainy days

After we got set up last night we went out for supper with some friends that we met at one of the Challenger events we've been to. They are a nice couple of kids (they are Steph's age) but they don't mind hanging out with us old folks.. Challenger fans come in all ages..They took us to a burger joint called Armadillo's.. And a joint it was but the food was really good and so was the service, the atmosphere was great too with music playing and everyone having a good time..I like those kinds of places.. The parking lot was overflowing with people waiting to park but we got right in with a table.. The others had various types of burgers and I had a grilled chicken sandwich which was supersized and tasty.
Last night was stormy which was ok for me I got to hear the rain on the rooftop all night which I enjoyed but kept Reid awake.. (different strokes)
Driving through San Antonio this morning was interesting.. The traffic was light for the most part but it was raining pretty hard with thunder and lightening. It took an hour to get through the city and we starting driving out of the heavy stuff.. it still rained off and on till we got near Ft Stockton.
This is where we stopped for the night and they've had very little rain here. We're in a park on a little hill so we have a nice panaramic view. It's been cool here with a slight breeze but at least we've seen the sun.. Reid said he'd trade off temps for some sun and he's gotten that today.
Tomorrow it's off to NM

San Antonio

We arrived in SA a little while ago. It did rain most of the way here.. The drive here was pretty easy, no wind just rain. We're only going to be here over night which is a good thing cause our site came with it's own pond.. (from so much rain, get it)
It was really sad leaving Leisure this morning.. I said a few more good byes while Reid was getting the car hooked up. I'm going to miss the rest of the season activities which are going strong but I'm going to be doing other fun things in AZ so it's a wash I guess. We have several friends and family members coming to visit starting in Mar with Mom's visit then a few friends scattered througout April and Danny's visit in May..Plenty to keep me busy and having fun.

Travel Day Friday

Puppy Treats are all back in the RV and the golf cart is tucked inside the casita so it's time to get on the road. It's been a different winter here and I'm going to miss my friends like crazy but some of them we'll be seeing again through out the year. I do enjoy our time here cause of our friends here at the park and the ones that drop in throughout the winter.We enjoying going out to eat with them and having them over.. but because of the weather we didn't do as much cooking out and getting together as we usually do but hey, there's always next winter.
We'll probably be driving in rain the next couple of days (if you can believe the weather forecasters) but hopefully by the time we're in NM we'll see some sunny skies.. (maybe, maybe not)
I'll post often as we take out time getting to NV.

Getting Ready

All I've been doing is getting stuff ready to go.. I have to decide what needs to stay here and what goes with me..It was a good week to pack since it was cool and drizzly most days.. Some people down here like this weather but it's not for me..now don't get me wrong I do love a good rain shower.. I love to sleep at night with rain hitting the rooftop. But it's not my idea of a good time when it drizzles for days on end and it's cool, by cool I'm talking 40's-50's. I'm in the valley for 70's and 80's.
I told all our friends that once we get out of town the weathers gonna get better it always does. They will be enjoying sunny 80's soon. LOL
I'm feeling a lot better.. I've been taking my meds for a couple of weeks now my energy level is getting better each day.
Tomorrow will be errands day while the carpet cleaner guys are working in the rv.. I hope the weather is nice this week so I can get out and about and say my goodbyes till next fall.

Happy Birthday Reid

Happy Happy Birthday to Reid. He can now order off the back page of the menu at most restaurants. LOL We're going to celebrate with a road trip in the Challenger and have BBQ and this little restaurant along our drive. Should be a fun day. I love birthdays and it doesn't matter whose having them. This is probably the last time today I'll be "allowed" to mention his.

I guess I should update

Lets see. what to say.. I stay busy around the park. Sometimes too busy.. I seem to let myself run down while we're in the valley.. Most of my volunteer projects have ended so that will take some stuff off my plate. I'll be spending then next several days getting my spring cleaning done.. We're heading out of the valley in Feb so I have to do my "if we haven't used it in 6 months we don't need it cleaning" usually it's Reid's stuff that I get rid off. Ha.
Jan has been a pretty ok month.. the temps have been nice so when we've endured cloudy days it's not been cold.. Today it's sunny and warm so that's nice. We're having a Chili and Darts event this afternoon with 6 other couples.. We usually play darts over at Larry's but since their casita is still being built we decided to get together tonight and play here.. it's finally warming up in the evening enough to sit out at night and visit. shhhhhhh...it's also code for Reid's birthday get together.......you know how he likes partys..He will enjoy beating us all at darts...
Tomorrow we're taking a drive up to Alice to met up with some friends from San Antonio..they are in our Challenger club.. There's a great BBQ place in Alice so it's a good meeting point.
That's it for this week..I'll try to post again next week..

Happy New Year

I hope 2012 is everything everyone wants it to be.
We ended 2011 very quietly.. I've been sick for 2 weeks now and all they've found out is I'm anemic so I'm really super tired all day long with no energy to do anything or get anything done.. So I didn't feel like going to the dance last night.. Haven't missed one of those in 4 years.. I hope it went well. I didn't see many people from the park today I guess they stayed out too late last night and slept in today.. Rita did stop by to see how I was feeling but she's the only one I saw all day. It was a cloudy morning then it rained for a short time and stayed dready after that.. But I did what I've been doing best and slept all day.. I'm going back to the Dr on Tues to find out if there's anything I can get for this tireness I'm feeling..
Last week was the best three or four days we've had here in a row for the past 2 months. It was nice, warm, sunny and no wind and I didn't feel like being outside to enjoy it what a downer.
We are going to be here another 6 weeks before heading out.. that will still be four months in the valley and frankly that's long enough to be sitting in one place. We arrived mid Oct so by mid Feb I'll be ready to go.. We'll take about three weeks getting back to NV where we'll hang out for a couple of months before we head south again. I don't like to stay in any one place too long..
I'll try to do better with my updates this month. I know it's going to be a busy month. I myself am planning the Ladies Birthday luncheon for later in the month and we have the Ropa style show this month and a dance this weekend so I gotta start feeling better soon.
