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 ...

Quiet out West

Image
Well, the past week was full of wind, going into town and quietness. I told hubby that Wednesday I just wanted to stay on the property and that is what we did. Saturday, we made it to the big town of Midland so that we could run errands and grocery shop. I got my Food Saver and have already used it on the spaghetti I made on Monday. Also used my bread machine and made baguettes a couple of times. Here is my new bread cutting board. My bread machine makes two loaves.  Hubby checks the game camera every day and we have noticed that there are more and more javelina coming around. Caught on the Blink Camera. A momma and her babies. Although it is gross seeing all the javelina. Silly deer.  This is what Wednesday looked like outside before the sunset. I am telling you; I love it out here and the beautiful skies God creates. He is so awesome! So pretty! "Do you know how God establishes them, and makes the lightning of His cloud to shine?" Job 37:15 (NASB). Next Saturday I am hoping...
