RV Travel Newsletter

 RV Travel Newsletter

There is so much good information in this issue of the RVTravelnewsletter that I am suggesting you read the whole thing. Of particular interest to me was the section about Covid sniffing dogs and  Stream unlimited movies on your TV using your phone. Enjoy. By the way, this is a free newsletter and there is lots of good info in every issue.

Walk with pics

 Butch is playing golf this morning with 4 of his friends so I took my camera on a walk hoping for some opportunistic photos.

Here are my results...

The Dog Park


Candy and Thelma. Thelma was disappointed because I did not have Butch with me.


The vegetable wagon comes every Thursday morning. They had just arrived and were getting ready for the throng of buyers.

Horse Shoes!
 
A hint of green gives a promise of Spring...at the end of next month.

This is what Butch wants to do to the tree that gave part of itself to the roof of our MoHo. If it is a healthy tree and it is cut at the right height it will recover. Butch saw the results of this during his lineman years.

PJ (Paul), Dave, and most of Alex on the golf course.
Butch and Bob...



All five in this one..PJ, Butch, Alex (behind pole) Bob ,and Dave. Alex and Butch have much in common. They both talk incessantly and if in the same room they will most likely both be talking. They are both competitive and good at whatever endeavor they are involved with at the time. And since neither of them stands still it can be difficult to get a decent picture.

A Few Minutes...

 I have a few minutes before I get my haircut. My friend Liz cuts it for me. It was her profession for many years and still is I might say. We played cribbage with Dave and Liz last night and she told us she had spent the past two days getting the first vaccine injection. Monday they waited in line six hours to get a ticket and then Tuesday they woke up at three to get there early and still waited an hour and a half. That was Liz and a couple of her friends as Dave got his from the VA a week or so ago. So both of our friends, Liz and Dave have been vaccinated. We are still waiting on CVS Pharmacy to notify us. Our phone will be where they tell us they have the vaccine and then we will make an appointment. Cross my fingers!

I played pool the past two days. Women's days are Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Monday I played well, but Tuesday not so much. It is the constant ebb and flow of life I say philosophically!

Pics fiddled with

 








Whoops!

 I looked back to see if I posted the last pics of the pool hall and I couldn't see that I had. I am talking about Brooker's Pool Hall in Jefferson IA. So here they are! I was probably waiting for a good internet connection and then when I got it I forgot! It is fun to look at them again!

Looks like the pictures need to be lightened up a bit. Might do that and repost.

Parrots!

 As some of you know our friends Jim and Deon Spangler are staying in a  different park this year to be near family and it also seems nearer the parrots! I am a bit envious as I always ran for my camera too when the parrots showed up in Magnolia.

Here is Deon's post telling us all about it:

 "Remember the days when the parrots would land in Magnolia Park?? They did and it happened pretty often, early morning and then again late afternoon or early evening. They had some favorite trees down on Pecos where they found something to their liking. Well, this morning we were over at Chet & Irma's here in Trails End and the parrots finally landed. We were busy planting some plants but I ran (yes, ran) back to our RV and got the camera and managed to get some pictures. They aren't great but they are better than nothing. It did remind us of the good old days. They were as noisy as ever and you can hear them coming and going for quite some time. It was a huge flock, one of the biggest I have ever seen and it was fun!! It was a very cloudy, dark day for picture taking but it was better than nothing."
