It seems wherever we go in Texas we find rain and cool temperatures. We had heavy rain over the weekend, fog and wind. Temperatures reached into the forties. Yesterday was beautiful, however. We had full sun and reached the upper sixties. Yippee!
We have had a mini-Maier reunion lately. On Friday, we had lunch with Donna's brother, Roman, and his wife, Linda, from Lodi. They have been in Texas for about 3 weeks with their Airstream. They will be heading back north this week depending on the weather. On Sunday we had dinner with Donna's sister, Judy, her husband, John, and their family, at their house in San Antonio. They had a houseful of grand kids which provided the entertainment. Five year old Mary made put us on notice that she had eyes in the back of her head and that we had better watch ourselves.
Only in Texas: in downtown Hondo there is large red barn that functions as a drive through beverage mart (alcoholic). You drive through the middle of the barn and your selections fill up your trunk (or truck). Milk is not evident.
Though Texas is a large and vast state, this is still a small world. When we were in Hollister, MO, we became friendly with a couple camping near us. They took off to southern California. However, they did not make it that far. They are camped right next to us in Hondo. We did not recognize them until the woman, Jeannie, knocked on our door. She recognized our rig. The reason we did not recognize them is that they have a new truck, a new trailer and no longer are interested in southern California. Texas must have been a new awakening for them!
