We are about 130 miles from home! Had we been 20 years younger, we could have continued on up to Livingston, but we aren’t—and we didn’t. Age has bestowed wisdom on us—why drive until 4 p.m. through rush-hour traffic and arrive exhausted??
Yesterday we stopped early to visit Harrell and Tommie Sue’s new house in Bulverde, TX. It is located just off Hwy 46 around San Antonio, TX. Wow, what a nice place! They were so lucky to find this gem in the Hill Country:
Isn’t it nice? Their new house came with built-in pets—lots of deer! This morning, this guy was enjoying his breakfast just past their deck.
Down hunters, down! No guns allowed! These are pets!! (Not pests!)
Don’t they look happy in their new house! We had a wonderful visit with Tommie Sue and Harrell and some of their friends who live in the areas. We all went to dinner at a place called Antlers. The food was some of the best food we have eaten in a restaurant all year! Larry was in heaven with his Chicken-Fried Steak dinner!! He has really missed that since we left last December.
This morning we were finally able to get the truck and car car inspection stickers done in Spring Branch—so 2 of our 3 vehicles are done! Yippee. We tried in Junction, Segovia, and Bulverde yesterday with no luck. Each inspection station was either out of stickers—on the 6th of the month, ill employee, or wouldn’t do it on wet streets. It is a battle every year to find someone to do the inspection. Why?
We are in Brookshire, TX, at Houston West RV Park for the night. We just have to get past the morning rush hour traffic coming into Katy and then pick up the toll-road around Houston for the last leg of the 2,000 mile trip! I estimated 10 days for the trip, but because we stopped to visit with friends, it will have taken 11 days—not bad for two old folks traveling East!
