Ch ch ch changes!

On Thursday there was a barn raising! At least an event that passes for one in the RV world. Anne and Scotty, along with help from a few friends removed their old, torn awning and replaced it with a new one. They also had new screens made and those were put into place to make sure the fit was good. Boo was not allowed to participate!

The new screens are darker and have a uv protective factor. We may have to upgrade!

John, two Jim's, Scotty and Anne did all the work. I took pictures! Anne is a happy camper :)

Also on Thursday we learned that Jeni and Don Wilson are no longer the general managers of our resort. Bentsen Palm RV Resort is making changes and the manager from Retama is going to manage both places. The Wilson's have already reserved their site for next season so we'll still get to spend time with our friends!

The new manager is interviewing all the work campers and change is in the air! Hopefully the changes will be good for all concerned.

Friday the Scott's hosted a happy hour to thank the helpers and to break in the new patio. Pulled pork, slaw, beans and chocolate fondue with strawberries. YUM!

Our resort is emptying out. The views are improving but each day finds another friend on the road.

On the road again..... can't wait to get on the road again

My Garden

I travel with my garden! I repotted my herbs, I like to cook with basil, parsley, oregano, chives and thyme. I would love to have more herbs but when we travel the plants sit in the shower and it can be a hassle schlepping them in and out of our rig.

Last Mother’s Day my daughter Sonsearae gave me an Orchid and so far I don’t see any bloom stalks coming out but it has put on new leaves. The cactus that Anne gave me also has new leaves. My pony tail palm is getting big! I may leave it at my daughter’s house when we visit her in Tallahassee.

The window box was planted with lettuce and in our warm spring the seeds sprouted right away. I can’t wait to pick my own lettuce!

Jim started his last shift today. For the past week or so he's been getting the rig ready to travel. Minor repairs, etc. We plan on leaving April 5th and we'll go from here to the Rockport/Fulton area for some beach time.
