Travelling in Texas


I 10 finally opened Thur. at 10 a.m. and away we went. Left the West and the cactus and moving into Central Texas with grasses, pecan, oak and sumac trees with goat and sheep ranches. Went through Laredo, very colonial Spanish and cowboy influence. The house were small but some even had columns on the porches. The cemeteries were filled with bright colored flowers, even deep purple. Slept at a gas station overnight and arrived at Mission to join our Caravan. What a reception - the Canadian couple that were stuck in the snowstorm 2 days. Rushed off to the Border to get our Visas and a hologram put on the MHome. Now we can't sell it until we return to the Border and the Mexicans have to take it off or they assume we've sold it in Mexico. Our tires just got thumped to make sure we're awake. There are 20 in the group and we're off at 8 a.m.

What an adventure! I know that country quite well as my sister, Romney lived in Ozona for years - both her boys were born there. It's tough country, but you look like you can handle it! Enjoy - you're looking good!

Hugs, Lia
