You know how sometimes we go along with a friend or partner or spouse to do something that we are not necessarily thrilled about, but do it because THEY are?!  And then sometimes we like it too and other times we just grin and bare it?!  Well, Dinosaur World was one of those and I liked it, too!!!!  I was totally surprised how cool the dinosaur exhibit was…walking along outdoors seeing a new creature around every turn!  What a blast! A dinosaur…A manchild…LOL “It got me!…LOL “Let us out!” “Oh no…got Carl, too!” Add caption Awww, babies! It’sRead More

  At the entrance of the walkway acrossthe dam The dam WOW…a caterpillar reunion!!!     For a relatively small town, Glen Rose has shown its worth during our visit here.  We happened upon the Big Rocks Park while on a geo-cache search…(more on this later). After we uncovered the hidden treasure, we walked around the park….it was awesome!  Very unique!    Around the area where Pie Peddlers is was the town square and some quaint little shops and even driving through town had its treasures…both of which were very cool! Along the street on the wall of a bodyRead More

    Tres Rios Resort is home to the convergence of three rivers, good fishing, great walking paths, beautiful sunrises and a wonderful restaurant!  It is also within driving distance to the Dallas/Fort Worth area…stay tunes for those adventures! An abandoned bird nest 🙁 Texas’ state flower…the blue bonnet Along one of the rivers WOW….isn’t it gorgeous?! Nothing like an unexpected visit by a bald eagle!!! My mini morning fire Aaahhhhh…morning Spotted this out of the corner of my eye one evening getting into the motor home… a star burst shadow from the solar light! How cool is this?! AnotherRead More

BRIGHT SPOT – What a better way to begin a post than with a Bright Spot!   Carl and I were having dinner at the campground restaurant and we got to talking about desserts with a woman there.  She chimed in telling us we MUST go into town and have pie at the Pie Peddler.  We took her advice and got a lot more than pie!  We met the most wonderful couple…Wade and Summer Redwine. I’m lovin’ the apron!!! First we met Wade at the Shoo Fly Soda Shop which is right next door to the Pie Peddler.  Wade wasRead More

Turtle friends catching a few rays Foggy sunrise Marina Village was the first official place where we had a waterfront site and it was on an amazingly beautiful lake…Lake Livingston!  Over the course of the 11 days we were there, I took some great shots of the sights.  I even played with the special effects on my camera phone which I am embarrassed to admit that I didn’t even know I had!!!   Oh, well…I know now! I have absolutely no idea what this is!My phone takes random shots sometimesand I think this is one of them…prettyawesome though I thought!!!Read More

       A little later on Day 1 – Off we went downtown to find the tallest building in Houston and that we did!  It is the tallest skyscraper in Texas as well AND the tallest 5-sided building in the world!  The JP Morgan Chase Tower…75 stories high with an observation deck at 60 where we found a fabulous panoramic view of the city.   It reminded me of the Baltimore World Trade Center that Carl and I went in with my son Matthew when we were in town in January!  I thought THAT was high at the 27thRead More

When I think Houston, I think big ‘ole metropolitan city…that’s nice.  WELL…with only a half day to spend in the city, Carl and I had to be very selective in our choices of what to spend our time on.  (Originally planned to be at a campground only minutes from Houston, but it got flooded out and we had to change our plans…new place a couple hours north…so we stayed at a Walmart near the original campground so we could at least get a little bit of the city)     Add caption The first stop early morning was the WilliamsRead More

  Fun times at the campground…next stop…TEXAS! Ah – ha!  Caught ya…LOL “Are there REALLY any fish in this lake?” Staring contest…he won!!!!! I found this baby bat in the bottom of one of thewashing machines!  So glad I saw the little fella!!!I let him sleep and used a different one! These interesting ‘mud formations’ wereall through the walking trails…hollow in the center…have no idea what they are???  Anybody know? Can’t forget the flora! Along the trail Nice reflection One of the ponds What a nice guy…sharing his snack witha quack…lol More pretties Campfire with new friends from Canada SettingRead More

Wow…after 4 days of continuous rain and area flooding, the sun presented herself in all her glory just in time for our Sunday Brunch Jazz Cruise aboard the Natchez!  Gratitude was exploding out of us!    Before we boarded, there was calliope music resounding through the marina from an organ on the boat.  This particular boat is the 9th in the line of steamboats that have traversed the Mississippi River bearing the name of Natchez. Once we boarded, we could choose whichever table we liked…window seat of course. Shortly thereafter the hostess arrived to guide us to the brunch buffet!Read More

  Wasilla is right above Anchorage   Wow!  You just never know when an opportunity you can’t refuse is gonna show up in your life! Carl and I both get notices from Workers on Wheels.  Every now and again, one of us will check the offerings just for fun, comment then delete the message.  Well………this time it was different.      We had plans to visit Alaska anyway in July after a long stretch up the Pacific coast and into the northwest region.  When Carl read the details of this gig from Workers on Wheels, we looked at each otherRead More
