On our previous posting we made you all aware that our RV was in the shop for some repairs. It was a hassle, and and expensive one at that, but we're back in our home and (most of) the repairs have been accomplished. Could go on and on about that, but what's the use. We're comfortable once again.

When we picked the RV up from the dealership in Corpus Christi we opted to spend a few days on Mustang Island. Sort of a shake-down cruise to make sure everything was working before we headed back to the oilfields. Good thing we did because all was not well. Back to the dealer for one more day of "fixing". This, after they had had our fifth wheel for nearly eight (8) weeks.

Since getting back to work we've been on three gates, all in the Tilden area. Happy in our work.

Not happy in our loss of Molly. This little girl was with us for fifteen years. I think she never met anyone she didn't like. Wonderful companion and friend. RIP, Molly.

Some year, when we Really Retire, we want to be living very close to a beach, preferably this one.

We're a one dog family now. Pat and Annie on the beach at Port Aransas.

Great Blue Heron on the dunes at Mustang Island.

Same heron, closer.

Still finding (some) time for wood carving and other hobbies.

Dozer at work on pipeline right of way. Really close to our RV and I can tell you we're really not liking the dust all that well. Didn't last long, however.

There is beauty in nature. Some of it we never see until it is pointed out to us. These insect eggs (very tiny) were on the underside of a turnip leaf. I marvel at their structure and uniformity.

 



 

Life goes on, and we're doing our best to enjoy it. Winter in Texas has been very tolerable this year. So sorry our family and friends who still live in the northlands had a hard winter. Plenty of room in Texas.
