Sticky Hot!

It must be humid down here, even if February, cause it sure was a sticky hot today... and it wasn't really that hot, just 76 degrees I think.

We enjoyed our day at home today. 

We did some cleaning, Jeff wrote his brother a letter, the old fashion way, with pen and paper... and we will put it in the mail the old fashion way, with envelope and stamp.

Before the cleaning and the letter writing, we went for a walk along the river and around the RV park.  That's when we realized it was Sticky Hot! 

After the cleaning and letter writing, we just enjoyed the peacefulness of our surroundings, and listened to the many different birds chirping.  I wouldnt call it all "chirping"...

they make some very interesting and unusual sounds.

One of the many birds at the feeder this morning as I drank my coffee.

We usually wake to a Woodpecker outside our window, as well as all the other bird chatting going on.

At last post, we had postponed our visit to Gruene for the Gruene Market Days,

which occurs only one weekend a month for part of the year.

This was the first weekend of the year, and since Saturday was rainy,

EVERYONE must have thought this was the thing to do on Sunday!

I clicked these pictures as we were LEAVING!!

There was no parking to be found...

and we just aren't into crowds.

So much for Market Days... but its not like we would have bought anything anyway.

So what do we do now?

We're always up for a visit to another Harley dealership,

and I had already mapped one out!

I left with my usual purchase... a dealership Shot Glass

I'm gettting quite a collection... but it can also be expensive, so for the remainder of this trip I have agreed to one shot glass per State... so that's one from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, S.Carolina, Tennessee, and so on! 

We still had most of the afternoon, and we hadn't had lunch,

so we called Alan and Phyllis to see if they wanted to meet for lunch.

We met half way between Blanco and San Marcos, near Wimberly... at Brewster's.

MONDAY

We drove out to Gruene again.  This day it wasn't so busy, and finding a parking space was easy.

We looked through their shops at all the things we didn't need...

then had lunch at a place recommended to us, but a huge disappointment.

We were happy to get home, and happy to be home all day today.

We are quite the home bodies... at home in our wheel house wherever it is.

Thanks for checking in!

Leave us a note so we know you were here!

San Marcos, Texas

Here we are... sitting in the rain... in Texas

Where did the Sun go?

We moved from Kerrville to San Marcos on Thursday.

We are staying at Pecan Park.

Another good choice...

It's so hard to blindly choose a place to stay in this RV life.  That's why I enjoy reading blogs of fellow RVers to see and hear firsthand what a place is REALLY like.

Otherwise, its sorta like Forest Gump's Momma's words...

RV Parks are like a box of chocolates...

                          you never know what yer gonna get!

This place is tucked away so it is quiet, and there is space enough between sites.

It is free of highway noise, yet we are less than 3 miles from shopping

(even good ole Walmart Superstore)

Yesterday, we met with RV friends, Alan and Phyllis.  We met at Sugarite Canyon, NM 2 years ago, then met up again in San Antonio, then by coincidence met up in Custer, SD... and now again here!

When we left the restaurant, it was pouring outside...

so we rented a movie and went home to cuddle up and listen to the rain on the roof.

During the night, we had a horrendous downpour with blasting thunder and lightning!

It seemed to go on all night!

I like rain on the roof of the wheel house... but this was TOO much!

Today, we were going to Gruene for Market Days, but there was more rain with wind in the forecast...

So we opted for postponing Gruene Market Days until tomorrow,

and replacing it with a visit to the huge Outlet Malls here in San Marcos.

We weren't like the throngs of shoppers at the Outlet Malls.

We were just there to stroll the sidewalks.  Actually... the two outlet malls are so huge,

we got a good walk in, passing by stores and shoppers.

I watch shoppers come out with their arms loaded with bags full of their purchases from stores like Prada and Nieman Marcus, and I think...

This is SO not us!

We don't want stuff!

Anytime I am in a store, I remember all the STUFF we got rid of.

I NEVER wanted to be loaded down with STUFF again.

After 3 hours walking the sidewalks of the two outlet malls,  we left very happy,

 with a zippered hoodie sweatshirt for $7 and a calendar for $1

not bad, eh?

The night before we left Triple-T RV Resort

We got together with John and Janie.

We had a great time playing games together.

Its great making new friends all over the States.

Maybe someday somewhere we will meet YOU!
