Spring Break in Texas.

  First, we were on duty for four straight days, the 10th thru the 13th, with spring break in full swing the campground is busy.  We had at least 30 incoming and 10-15 checkout every day.  Things are starting to pick up quite a bit, the campground was absolutely full this week.  It was almost full last week as schools went on spring break and in the over lapping week we filled every site.  We even filled our three emergency sites.


Diane goes for a walk most
days and looks for the turtles!!








   Well, this is the first attempt using voice to text to post the blog, so here we go.  We have to add the punctuation later, so who knows what we might end up with.

   We did manage to squeeze in some fun trips, we drove over to Leesville, LA to Fort Polk to get Diane a new ID card and of course we had to hit a restaurant for lunch.  We ate Thai food and hit two or three antique stores and the exchange and commissary.  It was a nice day for a drive.  We half hated to waste the gas but we needed to get her a new ID card her, old one expired over a year ago.  We were surprised (pleasantly) with the price and selection at the commissary and filled our little cooler up with meat.

    Saturday the 19th we went into town to the azalea festival expecting to find a lot of azaleas and such for sale but only one vendor was actually selling azaleas.  It was more just an arts and craft show they just happen to have when the azaleas are starting to bloom.  The normal food trucks were there but nothing we wanted to consume, giant fried corn dogs and fried shrimp on a stick just to name a few. So after  listening to a local radio station and of course we believed everything they said "gotta be true if it is on the radio" well, I think they kind of over rated their advertisers.  We went to the Cedar Tree restaurant "best seafood" around, no it wasn't, everything was fried shrimp, catfish, clams and even their stuffed shrimp was breaded and fried.  And almost I forgot, it came with french-fries and fried hush puppy's. When we got back to the Moho I started to wash the outside and Diane cleaned inside, getting ready for a trip to Louisiana to visit with Buddy and Theresa.  


The Cedar Tree restaurant had 10 of these glass walls and they were full of Salt and Pepper shakers.  No, they wouldn't sell any to Diane.




  Sunday the 20th another beautiful day sunny 75 degrees.  We went right back to work cleaning and washing the Moho after breakfast and coffee so right around 10:30. I wore out by 3:30 and started putting my stuff away.  I must be getting older cause all the trips up and down the ladder had by knees aching.  I went in to take an Advil when I noticed 2 Shiner Bock beers sitting alone in the frig. By the time I finished the second one my knees started to feel a little better.  Diane cleaned most of the windows and screens before joining me with a glass of wine.  Grilled pork chops, a fire and the day was over.

Feet are up and we are enjoying our fire....we only have about 6 people in the campground, it has cleared out.
