A Really Big Family . . .
Jan and I headed out about 9:30 for the two hour trip down to Webster, for probably the last time until November. Since it looked to be a little cooler today, we were looking forward to the trip.
Getting down there, our first stop was a client one, checking out a couple of things while I was still in the area. Luckily I can fix most problems remotely, no matter where I am.
After stopping for gas, we drove over to King Food to meet our son Chris and our granddaughter Piper for lunch. Unfortunately our daughter-in-law Linda was working and couldn’t join us. But it was nice to have a chance to get together with Miss Piper since she had to work this past Saturday and wasn’t able to attend Landon’s birthday party.
After lunch we all went back to Chris’ so he could fix a couple of things on my truck that he has the tools for. While we were there, Linda showed up from work so we got to see her too.
Getting our hugs and goodbyes, Jan and I headed back to Columbus with a quick stop by the bank on the way. Happily we were able to get on the way by about 3pm, which meant that we were ahead of the Houston going-home traffic. Otherwise, our two hour trip could have been a three hour trip.
Coming through Columbus, we made an HEB stop for a few things to hold us over since we don’t know what our gate situation is going to be for the next few days.
On the way to our site, I stopped off at the park office to drop off a bundle of Gypsy Journals to greet all the snowbirds that will start arriving in the next few weeks. I’m sure they’ll go fast.
We plan to head out tomorrow, but we don’t know where . . . Yet! Right before we leave here about 10am, I’m going to call Jamie at Gate Guard Services to see if he’s going to have a gate for us up in the Huntsville/Madisonville area. If so, we’ll head his way.
Otherwise we’ll head down to the Gate Guard Services yard near Whitsett, TX.
We’ll see how it turns out.
Jan and I were watching one of those “Couples Buying an RV” shows the other day and heard the statistic that over 800,000 couples are full-time RV’ers in the US. I’ve heard various figures for this over the years, but most of them are pretty close to this, making this a pretty big family.
I guess this means we’ve just still got a lot more friends to make.
