This is for real

 When we moved onto the property, 13 years ago, I thought I would never leave.  I wanted to grow old there. Every time I drove into the driveway I felt at home, a peace washed over me. Sure, the house was smaller, but less to clean. Sure, the land was bigger, more to mow. Mowing was one of my favorite things to do. Just sit there with your thoughts, praying, singing, or solving the world’s problems. Hubby and I named the property, "LAST3 Ranch", which stands for Lozano, Albert, Stacy, Tara, Tim and Tressa. Deer, horses and bunnies were born on the property. Family and friends came over and we had food, fun and festivities. Team building games were played there. We had karaoke nights, game nights, nights outside with bon fires and lots of laughing. All three of the kids lived there off and on, grandchildren as well. It was where Cody prayed to ask Jesus to be his Savior and where Tressa and Andrew were married. Hubby and I made a great life there, but God has called us to something else now and as I sit in Galveston, I know that He is working and asking us to follow His lead.

Life in the RV has been relaxing, busy, and lots of walking. Gus, our dog, has never had so much exercise. It is truly a blessing being able to live this way and I cannot wait to see what God has for us as we travel America. 

In Galveston, we have been able to be with friends that I went to high school with; we have been catching up on old times and making new memories has been wonderful. 

So, I look expectantly to this new chapter and sharing new memories with you.

Good-bye LAST3 Ranch, you will be missed. Praying the next family will have truly wonderful memories on this little piece of God given heaven.



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
