Thurs., Feb. 27th – Tues., Mar. 10th, 2020 (This was in our innocent phase pre-Covid 19… although with birding we were actually practicing social distancing before it was even a thing!)  The gulf coast of Texas is a mecca for birding particularly in the spring when birds are migrating back up north. We’re taking advantage…

Mon., Feb. 17th – Wed., Feb. 26th, 2020 The first part of this week we did some non-fun things like working on our 17 page Estate Planning document, beginning 2019 tax prep, starting to clean the exterior of the RV (that was more a Gary thing than a my thing), and we had dermatology skin…

Sun., Feb. 9th – Sun., Feb. 15th, 2020 Least you think it’s all rainbows and unicorns, this week we did have the usual chores of laundry, grocery shopping, and paying bills. Plus in our case additional “chores” are planning future travel and making reservations. That’s what we call a fun chore. Another chore we tackled…

Sat., Feb. 1st – Sat. Feb. 8th, 2020 We said goodbye to Andy & Linda as they headed off to visit our Aunt & Uncle and cousins in Corpus Christi for a few days then on to Belton, TX which is their home base. We will miss them. It was fun spending a month together.…

Mon., Jan. 13th – Sunday, Jan. 19th, 2020 Today my brother Bob and his delightful lady friend Deb arrived from the Dallas area along with our cousin Dale and his lovely wife Delilah from Corpus Christi. Such fun to have everyone together! Andy & Linda are still here parked next to us until the end…

Sun., Dec. 29th, 2019 – Wed., Jan. 1, 2020 Before arriving in Galveston, we spent three nights in Kinder, Louisiana at Coushatta Casino Red Shoes RV Resort. We had an easy drive to Kinder, which is in the middle of nowhere. Once off I-10, we saw flat straight roads and crops growing in the fields…

Dec. 22nd – Dec. 28th, 2019 We woke up to rain which makes packing up always a pain because you’re getting wet in the process. At breakfast Gary said “I have a plan for this morning and you’re going to listen to me.” One could infer from that comment that he feels I don’t ordinarily…
