We pulled out of the RV Park in Cisco, Texas and headed a couple of hours down the road to Midlothian on March 23rd.
We met Andy and Teresa during our time in Germany. We decided that it's been 40 years that we have known each other.
Teresa cares for one of her grandsons while his parents work. What a sweet boy.
We had a nice lunch with them and then went on down the road to Gun Barrel City. We lived there for almost two years. The road that goes through the country was under construction so it was slow going.
Blue Bonnets were just starting to break out of their winter hiding places.
Gun Barrel City is near Cedar Creek Lake. It's 20 miles long and it was windy, so it was white capping.
We stayed in a nice Park that is right on the main drag.
We have many great friends here and we had a lovely meal with Marvin, Mary, Marilyn and Paul.
The sky looked pretty mean, but we just had a nice rain from it.
One problem I have is forgetting to take pictures of everyone that we get to see. I certainly did that for the many other gatherings we had in Gun Barrel. Too sad!! Thanks to all of you that let us have a chance to see your faces and hug your necks!
These are amaryllis that are growing by Marilyn's front door!
We drove two hours up to Bonham, Texas, on March 25. There is a beautiful Park and Marina where we stayed for two nights.
Vern and Kathy had us out to their place to visit and enjoy their country living! I met Kathy when we both had jury duty.

Sunday morning we attended church with our friend and old neighbor, Beth. Guess what? I didn't take a picture because we were so busy catching up, but I did find this one on her home page.
We drove by the wonderfully fun home we lived in there in Bonham. The new owners seem to be keeping it up!
Lake Bonham needs some water and we had some of that while we were camped there, too.
What a great visit we had with John and Debbie! They live on the lake and have been busy rebuilding their sea wall while the lake is down. So happy to see them.
You know the saying, "Everything is big in Texas"? These cattle should be called LONG and HUGE horn cattle.
We also visited with Brian and Lisa who drove over to the lake from Dallas. They were our friends in Aurora, CO. Their son also worked for us in our Hardware Store. Do you see a photo of them, NOPE.
It was mid afternoon on Monday, the 27th and the weather was perfect, so we decided to get on down the road where we could at least have some better internet service.
We drove through Texas and across the state line into Arkansas. We had hoped to get to an RV park, but everything was full or too expensive, so we kept driving and finally found a Cracker Barrel that let us park in their lot.
We had a good nights sleep and it's now March 28 and we hope to drive on up near Nashville and see a few friends and family there before we drive on to the Ark Experience in KY.
Blessings,
Kathy
