Hot in Corpus Christi

 So, Corpus Christi is a bit hot at the moment, but we do enjoy it when the sun goes down.  Crazy heat index - ahhhh 118 degrees - that is wild!  Hubby had his appointment with the dentist and all is well with him, so that is good.  We are enjoying the time together and I am really seeing the RV travel life is for me.  Hard to go back home - ready for a new adventure. 

We were able to go to Kingsville for a little bit on Saturday.  Hubby was born there and really never lived anywhere else until he moved to Houston.  My mother-in-law passed away 4 years ago and we were able to visit her grave, as well as my brother-in-law who passed in 2018.  We also had a nice visit with my father-in-law at the house, we were able to have some time with him.  Life is SO precious for sure!  

At this moment I am thinking about what type of legacy I am leaving for my children and grandchildren.  My mother-in-law was amazing.  Never said a bad thing to say about anyone.  Was more of a listener, also gave good advice.  She raised 6 children - 5 boys and a daughter.  A beautiful legacy for sure.  Let me just say, I miss her!!

Something about being in South Texas feels homey, not that I have to live here, but that there is a legacy here for me and possibly my children.  Maybe legacy is the wrong word, it is more of a history, a calling me to something.  More of roots - that might be the word.  I am so thankful to the Lord for all He has blessed me with - my husband, children, grandchildren, family and friends!  I can see where blessing could be an amazing legacy, let me ponder on that!

God, the RV & me...

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
