At our winter home!

Pulled in to Kenwood RV Resort in LaFeria, TX about 4 pm.  Had a real nice visit with Phyllis' cousin Ruth Sunderman Davis at her home in Houston and after a nice breakfast this morning at her place we headed out into the Houston traffic.

She lives in a renovated 1913 Queen Anne home that is really nice throughout.



She suggested we wait a bit for the traffic to subside, but we pulled out shortly after 8:10 am and were 30 miles away through I610 and I10 and onto Highway 59.  Was 7 lanes wide at times and cars switching every which way.  We stopped for gas in Victoria - paid $3.22 a gallon.  Had driven by $3.10 and $3.15 but didn't need gas then.  Stopped for a footlong at Subway for lunch.  Temperature was in the mid to upper 80's as we headed south of Victoria.  Lots of dust blowing at places were field work was being done or road work.  Looked pretty dry.  Rolled into our spot at Kenwood and unpacked the car, but will work on the trailer in the morning.
After getting everything in out of the car and most of it put away (by Phyllis) we got a bite to eat at Stars and then went grocery shopping at El Centro.
Phyllis is unloading the groceries at our mobile home while I am in the office using their wifi.  Tomorrow I will have to get lined up with a phone line for internet and get Dish to put up a "vacation" receiver for us so we can have TV.  There are several of the old friends here at the resort, but many to come in yet.  A few of the activities are started.  Guess there will be a ceremony and meal on 11-11-11 for veterans.

Till later, Lynn
