Gary and Lou Nelson from Canyon Lake Texas are staying with us in their 5th wheel on the spot we designed for this purpose in our back yard. In the winter Gary and Lou stay in Canyon Lake and the rest of the year they travel so they have been full time RVers for 13 years now.
We met Gary and Lou at Snow Mountain Ranch when we were both volunteering there. One of the very best things about full timing is all the friends you make from all different parts of the country.
We are becoming more and more proud of the small town we were both raised in as we show our friends from all over what we have here. Last night we took a quick tour of the town before heading to Paton to 209 Main. We thought this excellent restaurant in a town of 230 people would not be busy on a Monday night. We were wrong! The place was crowded. Monday night is $2 hamburger night. We had a bit of a wait for our food but the wait was worth it. Now Paton does have a unique and very good restaurant but as we were visiting about restaurants we counted how many eating places Jefferson has and came up with 12 or more. And there is not a bad one in the bunch!
This morning Lou joined Colleen and I on our morning walk and we once again spotted a deer. It was mama this time without the younguns. The temp was a bit on the chilly side at 54 degrees and we pretty well had the trail to ourselves.
Russ has been here and is now building the steps out the door of our new room. Butch and Gary are helping him. I think they are all three enjoying the project. And I am singing the song..."working, working, working. keep those doggies working, RAWHIDE!!! Singing it mostly to myself...
Russ says we are supposed to get rain later in the week so we have switched to outdoor work hoping to finish it before the rain gets here. I am pretty darned happy all the time but this would make me more happy.
This afternoon we are going uptown for the Farmers Market and perhaps a bit of shopping...and maybe a ride in the bell tower.
