Forgotten treasures

We have a beautiful day here in southwest Texas. The south wind is blowing but it is cool, about 75 degrees outside.

Don't you love finding forgotten pictures on your camera ? Gary took all these on his Nikon, so I can't take credit for any of them.

You may recall that we stopped in Marathon, TX, on the way here to Seminole Canyon. Gary took the first three pictures there shortly after sundown. I think they're beautiful and didn't do any editing of them at all. These were taken at the Marathon Motel, which also has RV parking.

The final two pictures are ocotillo plants which are blooming now. This land is semi-arid, and pretty flowers are few and far between.

About the continuing refrigerator saga...we took the RV in last Wednesday and the people at Norcold had finally authorized the cooling unit to be shipped. The guys at DelTex RV in Del Rio did a great job, and the refrigerator has been working perfectly. They also put in a new ice maker and it's working great, too. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this was really the problem, and not some other intermittent problem. We're also thankful to the great folks at Tiffin RV, manufacturer of our coach, who put pressure on Norcold to fix our refrigerator speedily. We hope not to move this RV again until December.

This is a very busy week and weekend for us. We had students from a Montessori school in Austin for 4 days this week. There were kids everywhere! They were well-behaved, though, and didn't leave as much mess as some adults. They all left yesterday and we cleaned every campsite plus spiffed up the grounds around here. This weekend is the Rock Art Foundation Rendezvous, so we have lots of campers who are attending the festivities over across Hwy. 90 at the White Shaman preserve. We've been trying to keep on top of reservations plus folks coming in wanting a campsite. So far, we've managed to please everyone.

Tonight we're going over to the White Shaman preserve to eat dinner. We get to go because we're volunteers here. It'll be a good Texas meal of barbeque and beans.

Until I can think of more to post...thanks for joining me here!
