That's A Wrap!

Well folks, our time in Texas is coming to an end.  That's right, today is our last day in the Lone Star State.  We have really enjoyed our stay here at Treetops RV Resort/Carefree.   The staff here is so nice as are the residents.  One of the workers drives a golf cart and he always gives us treats and loving.  You should see all the dogs line up to see him.  He is like the ice cream man for us.  BOL

We loved napping in the yard...

....and chasing squirrels.

Our weather has been nice except for the night that we had to evacuate due to a tornado threat.

The folks enjoyed touring Southfork Ranch, Sixth Floor Museum (JFK) and the George W. Bush Presidential Library.   Texas has great food and the folks enjoyed many restaurants.  They found that some of their favorite restaurants were less than five minutes away.

Mama was able to walk to stores while staying here.  She walked to the mall twice and Super Target was visited many times.  Raising Cane's became a lunch stop on her way home from the mall.

We liked it so much here that we have considered it for our winter destination.  However, they do get ice here, so that is a big drawback.  We will have to think about it some more.


So, where are we headed next?  Well, it will take us three, ten hour days of driving.  It takes longer to drive in a motor home than in a car. Our stops take a little longer and our top speed is 65 mph and that doesn't happen very often.  We thought it might be fun this time to let you guess where we are going by watching us on the map.  We will update it each night to show you where we are for the night.  Our travels will be marked with the green line, we think.  If it is not green, we will let you know.  We don't have control over the color.

Adiós for now.

Southfork Ranch

Yesterday the folks drove to Southfork. It is the home of the show, Dallas and of course, JR. Mama watched the original show, but hasn't watched the new show.

The drive to Southfork visitor's center.

A tour is offered of the house and visitors are allowed to roam the grounds.

Original cast.  The lady in yellow and the man in the plaid jacket owned the home.  The man's name is actually J.R. which is  just a coincidence.

Mama said the tour was fun.  There is a lot of camera magic to make the house look larger than it is on TV.

Our space bar is broke so writing the blog is difficult.  We hope to fix it soon.
