This is the first posting on our new blog. We will be staying here in Texas for another month at the Cowboy Capital RV Park near Pipe Creek TX. We are just 6 miles from Bandara and about 40 miles from San Antonio. We are frequent visitors to Kay and Ron's (Darry's sister & husband) home on Bell Brook in SW San Antonio. Our motor home is very comfortable and is our home away from home for the winter months. Our daschund, Honey Bun, is now 16-1/2 years old and is our traveling companion. She takes a lot of sun baths and sleeps most of the time at this stage in her life. She gets Darry up to go outside each early morning (4:30 am is not his best time, but he takes good care of her) and then she snuggles up beside us in bed for a few more hours of sleep! She loves her big brown fur pillow that was made especially for her by our friend Marilyn. Two events have made February outstanding for us. First of all we moved from Lackland AFB FamCamp on Feb 4th to spend a few weeks at the Cowboy Capital RV Park near Pipe Creek TX. We were fortunate to have friends Chuck & Angel Messer invite us to their neighborhood. The first weekend we were here, the campground owners, Gerhart and Charlotte and family, invited us to a "cookout" South African style. Cookout meaning a campfire and dutch oven cooking. Kay & Ron were visiting us that day and were included in the evening meal. Chicken & vegetables, lamb stew, beef stew and assorted salads, breads and desserts. What a feast! Personally I had two helpings of the lovely lamb stew and was it ever good.
