Hemet, CA in a Covered RV Site

We made it safely to Hemet, CA to stay at one of our winter spots.  We got a nice covered site this time at Mountain Shadows RV Resort. It's a little hard to get around in the site, but provides some nice protection from the elements. The portable steps sure work nicely and make it easier for Donna to get in and out of the rig. Looking forward to some fun times here this winter.

Aunt Betty and Uncle Al Christmas Visit

So on the way back from Galveston we stop at our Aunt and Uncle's home in Houston. It wasn't too long of a visit but it was so good to see and visit with them. They were so excited to see us and put on the hospitality as they always have. After our visit it was back to our homes of San Antonio for us and Austin for Ken and Rosemary. What a super time we had last week, one that will last in our memories forever.

A Family Gathering in Galveston, TX

My sister arranged for a fabulous trip in Galveston, TX where we spent 3 days at the Moody Gardens Hotel. Toni, Ken and Rosemary, and Donna and I just loved this place. Huge rooms with a common suite which was huge too. What fun we had spending an early Christmas all together. Thanks T for making it happen!!! While in Galveston we visited a couple great foodie joints to chow down. Also we went to the historic district to view some great old homes. Galveston was a great town in the early 1900's for sure. Several bad storms pushed them back, but they kept rebuilding! We also visited the aquarium, too. Great fun!

Pretty Geese in the Park

I know what you're thinking. Geese are a mess! And you are right. But I saw these in the park by the lake the other day. I went and grabbed my camera. They are clearly a pair and look alike. I hadn't seen geese with this color combination before. They flew off when I got too close, the center of their wings are snow white. I felt compelled to share here. Found out they are Egyptian Geese.
