Welcome to OK

 Well, my last blog had us on our way to OK. We made it! Very interesting drive with mountains and views leaving TX. The scenery was so different than Houston for sure.


The truck pulled the trailer nicely, which is great since we are heading to CO after OK. The roads in OK left a lot to the imagination for sure, thought everything inside the RV would be broken or at least cupboards opening and spilling out, but all went well. Welcome to OK!


Once we were settled in the weather was nice, but hot. After that we had 3 days of wind, some gusts up to 31 miles per hour, that was crazy. It was like being in a houseboat on rough waters. By Wednesday night the wind settled down, just as I imagined it did when the Disciples cried out and asked Jesus to stop the storm. "A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat," He (Jesus) got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, Quiet! Be still! Then the wind died done and it was completely calm." Mark 4:37, 39 (NIV).
 
I really enjoyed this RV park and the small town for that matter. Everyone in the grocery store welcomed me and helped me with any I needed. The owners of the RV park welcomed us, and they keep the park clean and friendly.



This was our first night here, we enjoyed the sun setting and just walking through the RV park. We also ventured out and saw a few sights.






On our way to CO, we saw some amazing views. Capulin Volcano, snow on the mountains in NM and CO. We also saw the West and East Spanish mountains in CO. The Spanish Peaks are a pair of prominent mountains located in southwestern Huerfano County, Colorado. The Comanche people call them Huajatolla, meaning "Double Mountains". The West mountain is taller than the East mountain. This was truly an amazing drive to our over-night location.







On Saturday we spent the night at a Harvest Host location. It was their 3-year anniversary and had food trucks and live music. We had a fabulous time. 

 




Sunday, we arrived at the Denver West KOA and we will be here for 2 weeks. Hope you are enjoying coming along with us on our adventures. Thank you for reading this blog and please feel free to make any comments. I would love to hear from you!
 
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
