He'll Scratch Your Eyes Out!

That is what Mama said when we came across this guy on our walk this morning.   Scout was very curious, but I wasn't.  I saw what a cat did to my Cuz Deccy.  It was not a pretty sight. 

It is very warm here in Houston.  We have been in the 80's.  Mama says a person shouldn't sweat in December.  She and Dad looked at motor homes this weekend and she said it was very hot inside of them.  They found a few that they liked, but we can't do anything until we sell our house.  We haven't heard a word on the people who were interested in it. 

Friday night, the folks shopped at a Walmart Neighborhood Market.  They had never been to one before.  It is a Walmart grocery store.  It was less crowded than a regular Walmart, but they were out of a few things.  Saturday, they stopped by a Fiesta.  This is a grocery store with a lot of shops inside of it.  It is less than a mile from us and the folks are going to try shopping there this Friday.  Mama was very excited because she found her favorite snack.  She thinks she bought the last bag of these at the Walmart in Union, MO over six weeks ago. She had gone back three weeks in a row and they didn't have any more.  She couldn't find them anywhere else until she went to Fiesta.  She wanted to buy two bags, but Dad told her she could get another bag next week.  BOL!

Mama's treasured snack.
The folks ate out a lot this weekend.  They ate at Annie's Hamburgers for lunch on Saturday.  Here is her review:  That One Restaurant.

The Wagon Is Here!

Mama ordered a wagon to carry the laundry.  It arrived yesterday.

This is what is looks like when it is folded and in its' bag.

It easily converts to this:
It has drink holders in the front and dividers inside.

It is a little bigger than she expected or maybe it seems that way inside our RV.  It will easily hold two bags of laundry.  It holds up to 150 pounds.

Mama hopes that it is okay to bring it inside the laundry room.  It definitely will make laundry days easier for her.  However, while staying here, she could have rented a golf cart for just $6 a day.

A nice lady saw Mama carrying the box with the wagon in it from the office and offered her a ride in her golf cart.  (Yes, Mama could have taken it out of the box, but she wasn't sure if it was all put together.) Mama hit her head while getting into the golf cart.  BOL!    People are really friendly here.

Scenes From Our RV Park

There are some interesting sights to see in our campground.   We don't have a picture yet, but there is a Weimaraner that lays across the dash of his motor home.  There is no way that Dad would allow us to do that.

A new Christmas decoration was put up last night and Mama thinks it is cute.
The door closes and opens and Santa pops out.
There is a fifth wheel that Scout and I really like. They have cats.  The thing that is different is that they have a cage where the cats can come in and out of their home through a doggy door.  They have at least three adult cats and at least three kittens.

The doggy door is in the window.

The kittens are in a cage in front of the trailer.

I didn't want to leave the kittens this morning. 
 It is going to be warm today and we will have to run the AC.  Mama was happy yesterday because we made it through the day without turning it on.  It was cloudy yesterday.  We are not complaining about the heat, but we are trying to save on our electric bill.  There isn't any shade here.  It feels great outside, but the motor home heats up with the sun.

Mama is still using Emeals and loves it.  Last night, she fixed Orange-Sesame Chicken Stir Fry with Ramen Noodles.  She thought it was really good. 


If you are interested in trying Emeals, they have a 30% off coupon right now.  Just enter CYBER when checking out.  Mama just renewed her subscription. She ordered a six month subscription and they let her use the coupon, so I don't think you have to sign up for a full year.  Their prices have definitely gone up in the past year, but Mama says they are still worth it to her.  She doesn't have to plan out menus and grocery shopping is so easy.  She has a really hard time now if she has to plan out a meal. 

The folks are not going to do any sightseeing this weekend.  They decided they want a weekend to just relax.  They are going to a huge RV dealership and will just look around.  They will eat out, of course.  They also need to find a Walmart with a supercenter.

We Put Our Tree Up!

It took us about 30 seconds to put our tree up.  BOL!  Our tree is not the prettiest, that is for sure. We like it though. It is a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. Mama added greyhound ornaments to it and she made a skirt for it.

It is on our dash. There are some people who have decorated with lights here. We hope that as we get closer to Christmas that more people will decorate. The resort put lights out earlier this week, but they are clear lights. They don't look really like Christmas lights. It just looks like a fancy venue. They did put some clear lights on a few of the palm trees and that looks nice.

Today, Mama worked on her Christmas cards. She is not doing an exchange this year because we didn't have our address when the sign ups started.  She is just sending them to a few friends and family this year.

We haven't heard anymore from our agent about our house.  Mama did email him a few minutes ago and asked because he sent her an email about something else.  She hasn't heard back yet.

The people here seem very nice.  Our neighbor brought a Subway sandwich over for Mama's lunch yesterday.  She said she noticed that she was alone. We thought that was very nice.

Almost Wordless Wednesday 11/28/12

Dad thought this "outhouse" had a funny name.

I don't care if the dog wash is free, I'm not using it.

Home Again - Part 3

 Well, we just realized that we didn't finish telling you about the rest of our trip home.  I don't know if we even remember the res...
