Great-Grand-Baby Evelyn

Well I'm surprised to be blogging again so soon, but we are on our way to meet our great-granddaughter Evelyn. I didn't dare hope we could go out to visit since they are all the way on the west coast, but Steve surprised me and I sure as hell wasn't going to say NO! Maybe in retrospect the timing might not be the best and we, and when I say we I really mean he, should have worked on a route and plans for stops so that I could make reservations but hey, we're crazy people we live by the seat of our pants. Today trying to find a place to stop for the night wasn't easy and tomorrow's place was just about as hard to find. This is the time of year all the snowbirds are coming south and campsites are scarce, I was reminded that we could do a Walmart, oh God help me I don't want to do a Walmart but I guess in a pinch. . . 

We got off this morning pretty well. The RV was cold though and didn't like the idea of having to crank, boy we get spoiled so easily. I thought this might be the first trip that we wouldn't have to put the generator on to run the A/C and I was right but I came real close to using a heater. It took until well into the afternoon to warm up in here. I may not complain quite so much in the summer. Oh yeah right, that was a riot, me not complaining. Too funny!!!! So our projected plan is to take our time, stay to the southern most route and be in Stockton, California by next Tuesday. I'll be sure to regale all of you with stories from the road. We are also going to lay low over the weekend. 

Tuesday we are on the road again. We have several full days of driving ahead of us and it's only just begun. Oh and just a note in passing. Louisiana has some of the worst highways. Really horrible!!

Wednesday we had a free breakfast from the campground we stayed at. All I have to say is a meal you don't have to pay for probably isn't worth much. We weren't impressed. Oh well we weren't there to have a good time. We are just passing through. This afternoon we pulled into a pecan orchard. The campground we are staying at tonight is on the edge of a pecan orchard. As we rode down the entrance road there are deer playing in a clearing off to the left it would be perfect except for one small thing. For hours we haven't had any kind of cell service and this place has nothing. No phone service no cable, no internet, NOTHING!!!! It's only one night right?

Thursday just another day almost, we are on the road again. Driving through Texas still. Steve is fighting high gusting crosswinds that are pushing the RV in unexpected directions. It was pretty much the same as Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, then I'm talking on the phone with Kim and a tumbleweed tumbles across the freaking highway. I actually got to see a tumbleweed tumbling. It was so exciting. Now I'm sure if you have to deal with tumbleweeds, they might not be quite so exciting but heck this was my first. I was a tumbleweed virgin. I don't know why something so silly got me so excited, what can I say, I'm easy!!
