Our Winter Home

We were sad to say goodbye to our campsite in Austin, Texas.  It was a really great spot and I'm sure we'll go back there.  Cleo misses the squirrels.
We didn't leave too early since I had miscalculated and thought we had a much shorter drive than we did.

Palm trees!
You know you are in Texas when..............there is country music being played everywhere.  You hear it at the gas stations.
You even hear it in the bathrooms at the rest stops. 
We arrived in Weslaco, Texas to very warm temperatures.
By the time we settled in to our site and had dinner the day was over.  We spent Monday and Tuesday grocery shopping, doing laundry, cleaning the rv, and of course, swimming in the pool.  
A very sad Thanksgiving dinner. 
I'm sure we will get a great dinner on American Thanksgiving Day.
We are enjoying our outdoor cooking appliances. 
Such a pretty sunset.
The weather has been hot and sunny everyday.  We're told it's hotter than normal.  It's also humid, however nothing like it was when we got to Mexico last year.  We are looking forward to cooler temperatures.  
Almost a full moon.

The green building behind the mailboxes is the pool hall.  
We have been looking at the list of activities that will start once there are more people in the park.  There is aquasize, yoga, Zumba, cards, crafts, pickleball, horseshoes, golf, shuffleboard, bingo, potluck dinners, dances, entertainment, movie nights and more things than I can remember.  
We went to a bar one night for karaoke.  The managers of our park sang a couple of songs.
We bought Cleo some booties.  The pavement is very hot and there are really pokey burrs in the grass.
The night we went to karaoke our truck was acting up and doing some strange things.  The next day, Friday, Dave took it to the GM dealer.  They determined that we need a new transmission control module and of course, they want a lot of money to replace it.  We made a lot of phone calls and did some research online.  Dave was able to remove the old part and we ordered a new one which will arrive tomorrow.  Once it arrives we will have to take it to GM to be programmed.  We have been without our truck for a week so have not been able to do any of the exploring that we were looking forward to.  Since we have been stranded here we have been doing lots of swimming.  
Dave burned the back of his neck so had to wear my scarf to go for walks.
The full moon was very bright.
More heat.
More swimming.
Our view at the moment.  We practically have the park to ourselves.
Dave took some pictures of the vegetation around the park.

There are so many fruit trees.  Oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, mangos and even avocados.








Home sweet home.
Cleo enjoying the screen tent.  She is probably dreaming about all of the little bunnies in the park.
I did warn you that my blog wouldn't be too exciting this winter.  Cheers!!
