God, the RV & me

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

 This week was a busy and sort of a different week. I wasn't able to write the blog. I hope you can forgive me. More to come next week!

It is very interesting being out here in Iraan, we had to drive to take the trash to dump, and "keeping it real" for two people we basically have a bag of trash per day. That is crazy to me. Monday was very windy, we had a few days last week that were windy, one wind gust was over 41MPH. The Polaris needed some work done and up ahead was all dust.  Sorry for the bug mark on the windshield. This is what it looked like when we dropped off the Polaris. Wednesday, we went into Midland to go to Lowes and HEB. We left at 10:00am and arrived around 11:30am and then stopped at Lowes first after that headed to HEB. The one there has a BBQ restaurant in it. It was good! Robert, Connie and I really enjoyed the food and then on full stomachs we shopped. I still need a Foodsaver. Hopefully I will work on that this week. Yum! One thing that has been fun is to see what hubby captures on the game camera. It is interesting what runs around at night while we are sleeping. Deer. Do you see the

What can I say? I am almost 60 and hubby and I are working at the ranch like we are in our 30's. It is good, but boy we are sore and tired. It is beautiful and worth it. So, let me back up to Friday, December 29, 2023, when we arrived at the Ranch, and we had no water. Hubby called the well guy (he has been here a few times over the years) and he came out Saturday morning. The breaker has two connections, and one wasn't working. So, we drove into Midland, got a new breaker and a few other things. We also went to HEB, "keeping it real" Midland is an hour and a half drive. They do have a Sam's Club, so I am thinking about purchasing a FoodSaver and vacuum seal veggies, meat and other things that can be sealed and then putting that in the freezer.  This is what I am talking about. Hubby was able to put the breaker in and we had water for a while, but then, it wouldn't keep filling back up. Hubby talked with the well guy again and he was so wonderful, he came out
