Tuesday 5 April 2022 - Sunday 10 April 2022
Our last week of work in Texas. The time has just flown by as we worked 5 of our last 10 days here. The weather is definitely warming up, the days are sunny and hot. The downside has been the wind, blowing so hard the fires were very limited. Thursday and Friday were our two days off and had all our packing for the trip home to do. On Thursday Diane did grocery shopping and cleaning up the inside of the Moho and I vacuumed out the truck. We made very good use of the last day with a trip to Nuziebell's Antique and Flea Market in Hemphill, TX to recheck a washstand we both liked very much but didn't know if it would fit in the truck for the ride home. Of course, we had lunch on the way over. Diane found this restaurant/bar at a campground just before the antique store. I was a bit concerned normally not a fan of campground food (mostly frozen then nuked) but I would give it a try. We drove
back this dirt lane to The Lost Frontier Restaurant, turned out to be just wonderful, everything was homemade and menu was quite different. The food was delightful with both of us getting the daily special, I had the Shrimp boil and Diane had the Bourbon Apple Glazed Filet. Figures, we found the best restaurant just before we are leaving. Done with lunch we go to the antique store, went in looked, measured, back to the truck measured, back inside remeasured, back to the truck remeasured. We decided we would go home measure the Moho basement storage to see if would fit. About 10 miles down the road we turned around after seeing a yard sale sign drove back a country road never did find the yard sale turned around again. Another 5 miles heading on home we figured this was our last chance, so we turned around again, she took $25.00 off, so we bought the stand. After weeks of talking about it and thinking about it and discussing it, we just wrote the check and poof it was all over. Except for how we will get it back to PA.

Now Saturday came as expected and we are down to just the weekend to get organized, packed and we are on duty both days. I don't know how time sneaks up on us like this. Diane kind of saved the day she did rounds and most of working stuff. I spent Saturday morning rearranging, repacking, re-rearranging then re-repacking the basement storage until we could fit the washstand in. It was a tight fit, but it is in there. Now we won't be able to getting anything out except the chairs until we get home. I did just enough work on campground stuff to say I participated.
Sunday was half over before we knew what happened 72 campers checking out trash blown all over the place from high winds last night. Diane spent so much time out picking up trash I thought she left without me. But the wind died down and as dinner time approached, we were ready for our last fire, last meal (steak and mushrooms) along with some wine. Tomorrow will be a big day we are leaving Texas, getting the transmission worked on, again and hope to get to southern Louisiana by evening. And lets not forget they are calling for severe weather AGAIN.
not to shabby and we had a lake view.
And this guy was a genius, a kids powered scooter and a cooler on
the foot area for a seat. He was never without his beer!! 😂
