Spring Is in Bloom!

This is how the countryside looked on our drive through the Texas Hill Country. Usually the black-eyed susans, firewheels, and Indian paintbrush were mixed in with the blue bonnets making a spectacular palette of colors. Several small towns in the area are having their Blue Bonnet festivals right now. *Please note we did not take this photo as we couldn't find our camera, but photo depicts the countryside exactly as it looked.

We arrived in Kingsland, TX last Monday, later than we expected, after spending the night in Snyder, TX. About 5.5 miles north of Eden, TX we had a tire blowout on the driver's side of the motor home. Totally unexpected, of course, as the tire was only about 2 years old and had less then 10,000 miles on it. Emergency roadside service came out from San Angelo, TX bringing a new tire with them to change out the blowout. We were along side the road for about 2 hours. A local sheriff, Richard Doan, stopped by (he was off-duty at the time) to see if we needed any assistance. Really a nice man.

We're all settled in on our site now and have begun our Workkamping assignments. Larry is taking care of the swimming pool & pool area every morning and I am working in the office learning the routine. We will be working every morning 5 days a week. Really nice managers and owners.

Dee has traveled to Marble Falls twice with Joy and Janis to play duplicate bridge already. She is really out of practice at duplicate but imagine she will catch up shortly. The Club usually has 6 tables of duplicate bridge with a good percentage of ACBL Life Masters playing in the group.

That's it for now, but will keep you posted on our where-abouts as we check out more of the area. This is the busy, busy season for summer guests here at the Resort - most of them are from the Austin area.
