Good rain

Clarinda, IA  Though it has been cold, and we had some snow, did get quite a bit of needed rain--think the yard has doubled in height in last couple days.

Been looking back at some of my blog postings a year ago -At Amistad Reservoir and Stillwell Ranch by Big Bend when we were just starting our journey celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary by traveling some 17,000 miles (truck) and pulling the trailer nearly 10,000 miles for what turned out to be 5.5 months.  We had intended selling the truck and trailer when finished, but enjoyed ourselves so much have now decided to spend the summer of 2015 traveling the South East, East, and North East part of the US.

Really enjoyed that whole trip, even the breakdowns and exasperating parts because the rest made up for it.  Have thousands of photos we re-look at on a picture frame slide thingy at the dining table.

We went to Assisted Living facility in Red Oak, IA last evening, along with Jack & Karen Baumgartner and Gary & Michelle Walter.

Dave Riley, from Essex, IA, called square, line, and round dances for an hour to entertain the residents and then we went to a Chinese Restaurant in downtown Red Oak to eat and visit afterwards.  Think there were about 15 from the Clarinda Circle 8 Square Dance Club there.

I am settled into my "office" in the basement where I have access to the internet, cable TV, and all the things the computer can do.

Must be getting outside in a bit as it is warming up a bit today -- will do some work in the shop -- even though there is a lot of wind outside today.





While am in reminiscing mood, thinking of what had done at our 312 location in Kenwood, La Feria, TX site this winter.   Got new clothes washer/dryer, new bed mattress for the king size bed, replaced the mobile home back door with a steel house door, built the north end of what will be our Texas Room; part finished included storage area/work shop.  More to do when we get down there in October -- really looking forward to returning to our winter home then.

Later, Lynn
