Move to Leander KOA

Tuesday, April 7, 2015 - Leander, TX

We got up early this morning and got the last of the packing done and hitched up.  At 10:00am we went to the break room and enjoyed peanut butter ice cream pie with the crew at the fish hatchery!  Everyone seemed to like it.  :)

We were on the road by about 10:45 and arrived at the Leander/NW Austin KOA around 3:00pm. 

We did run by PetSmart to pick up new collar for Gracie.  We throw the old one away after the skunk made it smell really bad!  Gracie was happy!  She did not like the collar we had on her..  :)

It was another wonderful day!

Last Day in Uvalde

Monday, April 6, 2015 - Uvalde, TX

We are almost ready to leave.  The only things that need to be done are things that can only be done when we are ready to hook up.  Tonight we will just relax.  :)

This evening I did run to the grocery to buy the ingredients for peanut butter ice cream pie.  Rick really likes peanut butter and I told him about it, so I thought if I was going to make it, I better get it done tonight.  We are going to leave right after the morning break tomorrow.

It was another wonderful day!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone!

When I got wet in the shower this morning the skunk smell came back very strong.  I definitely got some of the spray on me.  I was just hoping the people in church would not be able to smell me.  :)  I felt bad for the people that were sitting around me.  The gentleman sitting next to me finally moved and never came back. His daughter kept looking over at me.  I know they could smell the skunk!  How embarrassing!

After Mass Mike was able to get the truck all packed and the dirt bike put in the trailer.  I spent the afternoon cleaning the outside of the trailer.  It was very dirty and it looks much better now.  We should be able to finish up packing tomorrow evening. 

It was another wonderful day!

Dinner Out

Saturday, April 4, 2015 – Uvalde, TX

It was Mike’s weekend to take care of the fish, so Gracie was able to get another Gator ride today.  She has gotten so she really enjoys riding on the Gator!  :)

I was able to get the inside of the trailer all cleaned up, the inside of the Suburban organized and the grill cleaned.  Mike finished packing up his stuff in the shop.  Around 5:30 we got cleaned up and headed into town to eat dinner at Oasis Outback.  It is a store similar to a Bass Pro Shop, but it has a very nice restaurant inside also.

Inside the store there were animals all over even a helicopter.  :)

Then we realized there was giraffe watching us eat.  :)  So we just had to take a picture of him.

Tonight their special was all you can eat pork ribs.  It came with the salad bar, which could have been a meal all by itself. And a side dish.  It was a very good meal.

We both got a few more things done when we got back from dinner.  It was getting late and I told Mike I would take Gracie for her walk while he finished up in the shop.  He usually comes with me and then holds Gracie’s leash while I clean up after she does her business.  Since he was not with me, I just put the leash under my arm.  Gracie saw something and pulled the leash away from me.  She did not go very far, she does not like the leash coming after her.  When I got caught up with her, I saw 2 black objects.  I knew the one attached to the leash was Gracie and I thought the other was a cat.  I could not have been more wrong!  When I went to pick up the leash I bent down right through skunk spray!  Gracie had just gotten sprayed!

When we were walking back Mike had heard the commotion, so he was coming to check it out.  I told him not to get to close, but he was not down wind, so he did not smell it yet.  I told him I thought I got some spray on me also, and when we turned the corner he was now downwind of me and he agreed with me!

We got back to the shop and Gracie and I got into the shower.  I was really happy we did not have to use the shower in our home!  I think Gracie’s collar got the brunt of it.  Mike said it looked like we found the Easter Skunk and he egged us.  :)

It was another wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Alex!

Happy Birthday Alex!

Mike took the afternoon off to get some things done.  We have a lot of packing to get done this weekend.  We will be leaving Uvalde on Tuesday.  He did not get as much done as he was hoping, but he is still hurting.  Hopefully he will get feeling better soon.

I did get the Suburban cleaned.  It was getting very dirty!

It was another wonderful day!

Saying Good-bye

Thursday, April 2, 2015 - Uvalde, TX

Thomas and Patricia left this afternoon around 1:00pm.  We have really enjoyed our winter here with them.  I am sure we will be seeing them this summer when we get back up to northern Indiana.  :)

Since we have used up most of our data plan this month, I have been working at the library in the afternoons to save our bits.  :)  On my drive into town I have noticed the local police stay very busy escorting over size loads through the town.  Highway 90 is a very busy road!

This afternoon Mike ran into town before the bank closed to take a picture of his favorite piece.

He also took a close up of the saying at the bottom.

When I run the saying through the translator it translates as: 

Wings wings by mountain and valley.  :)

It was another wonderful day!

Group Lunch

Wednesday, April 1, 2015 - Uvalde, TX

Today is the last day Thomas and Patricia will be here.  They are leaving tomorrow.  So the crew at the fish hatchery took us all out to lunch to Patricia's favorite restaurant, Napoli's.  The food and service are good.  We had a really nice time.

It was another wonderful day!
