The Last 300 Miles

 

Arrived at Cedar Mills Marina on Tuesday. Small campground on Lake Texoma.  Set up overlooking lake
with Marina and boats in view.

Wednesday:  Bill and Janice joined us Wednesday night.

We enjoyed the weekend with them: walking around camp, visiting, cooking out and playing Wahoo, Pegs and Jokers, fishing and boating. Bill brought his boat. We had the perfect view from campsite. The weather was perfect.

When we first arrived I checked out the laundry facilities. A woman who was there and her husband are living on their sailboat at the marina. They sold their house in Oklahoma City and moved here. They plan to move to Kemah for the winter and then sail to Florida in the spring where they have family. They plan to sail around the Bahamas then after 2-3 years settle down and buy a home. They are both retired - she was a nurse and he taught Air Traffic Controllers. They came over and visited to ask us all about Kemah. We have met the most interesting people on this trip!

We left Texoma on Tuesday heading to Cedar Hill. Getting closer to home.

As I walked out of the RV this morning, I felt the gravel under my feet and thought, "I might miss this!" So many campgrounds have gravel sites. Some are surrounded by grass and some  by water but you are out in nature. 

We set up at Cedar Hill State Park. I got to have lunch with Tiffany on Wednesday. She rarely gets to take a lunch break and we are usually busy visiting with friends in the day when we are here, so it was nice to get lunch with just her.

Thursday night had dinner at Bill and Cathy's. Such dear friends and enjoyed having a relaxing dinner at their home. We miss them since we moved to Houston and thankful we can still keep in touch. Cathy and I talk on the phone weekly but still nice to visit face to face.

 Kelsey wanted to take us for a ride - first time for her to drive us! She did fine.

Had cookout at Tiffany's Halloween night then sat in front yard and gave out candy to lots of neighborhood children. Then they came to camp for hot dogs the next night. Got caught up on all the happenings with them.

No pics of Justin - what can I say? He is 12.......

 Fishing at Lake Joe Pool.

One overnight in Conroe to get rig washed and cleaned up on inside then home to storage!

It is wonderful to go sightseeing across the country but one of the pleasures of camping is sitting around the campsite visiting with other campers and enjoying the outdoors. We were able to do that this evening at Conroe. We caught up with other campers we knew from past camping and sat around their camp visiting and meeting other new people. It is hard to decide which one is best. Maybe both….

We can't believe we left home on September 1st and have been gone for 9 weeks!

Lots of adventures along the way. We would do this again - if time, money allows, but will be nice to be home to enjoy the winter in Sugar Land! Nice to go to our church. Nice to start working on the Christmas Service Project for our Sunday School Class. Nice to join the girls at the Y in the aqua fit class. All good. All nice.

Thanks to Tim for watching our house and to all of you who read and encouraged me doing the blog!!!!

Happy Trails to you till we meet again.
