A nice quiet day…
Today started out as another nice quiet day. And pretty much stayed that way.
Jan’s still trying to get the hang of Facebook, posting stuff and confirming new friends.
We left the coach about 2 pm heading first into New Braunfels to stop by a Chase bank and then on to Lowe’s for some more project supplies.
Near Gina’s turn-off we encountered a large flock of wild turkeys, at least two dozen, including a bunch of babies.
By the time we got back to Gina’s it was time to go to dinner. Leaving the ranch, Jan put some corn at the side of the road for the turkeys. We’ll check on the way home to see if they’ve eaten it.
Tonight we decided to try Lucky’s Kitchen and Cocktails, a seafood place in Canyon Lake near the RV park. Jan and Gina had seafood Po’Boys and I had a Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich with bacon, tomatoes, onions, Monterey Jack cheese and jalapenos. Great!
Getting back to Gina’s I spent some time working on the new ceiling fan I’m installing on the porch, and then trying to fix a problem on Gina’s computer.
Oh, it didn’t look like the turkeys had found the corn yet. We’ll check again tomorrow.
Then, about 7:30 pm, when we were ready to leave, it started pouring down rain. We hung around hoping it would slack off. Finally we decided to give it a try. And we lucked out. By the time we got out to the main highway the rain had pretty much stopped.
Lucky for us too, because there’s some low spots on the ranch road that can flood several feet deep.
Back at the rig there were some deer still milling around, but with it raining on and off, we decided they were on their own.

Another Day at the Lake…
Today was a good relax and do stuff around the rig day. Jan got up about 8 am but I slept in until about 10.
After I got up I fixed coffee and then hung up the front solar shades on the windshield to help keep out some of the heat. Since we’re facing east the morning sun heats things up pretty quick, and the shades really help.
Jan has finally taken the Facebook plunge, so we spent some time getting everything set up for her. She’s already got a bunch of friends signed up.
About 2:30 we drove over to Gina’s so I could work some more on her deck project. Then, a little after 5 pm we drove over to El Casa del Lago, a Mexican restaurant down FM 306 on the way to New Braunfels.
On the way back to Gina’s we stopped by the rig to let Gina feed the deer. Just as yesterday, they will come up and eat right out of your hand.
Then coming back to the rig after dropping Gina off, we came back to the rig to find more deer still waiting for us. Seems like the word is out.
More tomorrow…
