The Alamo

On the way back from Dallas we stopped at the Alamo so Chandler could see it.

Park Model

The park model is progressing nicely. The walls are ready to paint and the cupboards are in. A couple more weeks and it should be delivered.

Chandler & the beach

December 23rd and we took Chandler to the beach. The weather was great and he had a good time. We even found a dead jellyfish on the beach and he thought that was so cool.

X-mas parade

Yesterday we decorated our golf cart and last night we were in the golf cart parade. Dennis did not want to go so my friend Inez and I went and had lots of fun.

More Pics of Park Model

We recieved more pictures today of our park model. They are putting up dry wall and it is beginning to really look like a home.

More Pics of Park Model

These are some more pictures of our park model. They are almost done with the framing in the outside and will start very soon on the insided. We are getting excited and can not wait for it to be done and delivered. Will continue to post pictures as we get them from the company making it.

Christmas is coming

Christmas is growing closer and closer. We have decorated our lot and so have alot of the others here at Wilderness Lakes RV Resort. The other day is really did snow here but it did not stick, it sure was pretty for the short time it was here. Has been cold for several days but that just puts us in the Christmas mood.

Our Park Model in Progress

We just recieved this pictures from the company building our Park Model. You can see how far it has progress.

Back on our lot

Yesterday we moved back to our lot after finishing the cement work. The lawn is growing and the flowers are planted. Everything is done that we can do until our park model arrives in January. Now we can sit back and relax for a few weeks and enjoy the warm Texas weather. It has been really nice here but it could be a little cooler, but it is much better than the cold of Alaska.

Cement arrives

Today was the day the cement arrived. This is putting us closer to having our lot ready for our park model. The cement has to dry and then in about a week we can put the motor home back on the lot and we will have done all we can till our park model arrives in January.

Forming up for cement

We have spend three days digging and getting the form made so we can be ready for the cement when it arrives.

The work continues

The work has begun

Dennis & I have decided to purchase a park model and put it on our lot in Texas. So there is lots of work to do to prepare for it's arrival in January. We are getting the lot ready by cutting down branches and trees in the way and getting ready to pour cement for the frame to sit on.

Grass growing

Spend the last few days hoeing and racking the lot and finally we got the grass seed planted. The pictures are not that good but it is now coming up and we can see the green from it. This really makes us feel at home. The weather has been warm in the day time and cool at night. It has rained off and on all day today but they can use all the rain they can get and then even more.

South Texas

You know that you have arrived in South Texas when the catus are in bloom or near blooming. We arrived a while ago and it has been hot ever since. We are attempting to get settle and get use to the weather as it has been cooler for us until we arrived in Mathis.

Home in Texas

Sorry it has been awhile since I have done my blog. We have been busy as we have finally gotten to Texas and will be settled in soon we hope. We found warmer weather finally. We have been looking at park models and think we have finally found the one we want. Will try and update the blog more often when there is more time.

Crossing the bridge

We left Denali on Tuesday September 22 and crossed the bridge in Michigan on Monday September 28. We spend the night on the road and arrived in Portage on Tuesday September 29. We will stay here till the 9th of October and then head to Texas. It was a long trip but it will be nice to arrive in Texas and be able to relax.

Leaving Denali

We left Denali National Park tuesday morning at 7:30 am Alaska time. As you can see it was snowing when we left. We traveled all day and crossed the Canada border at 5 pm. We stopped for the night at the Congdon campground in the Yukon Territory. We travel 562 miles on tuesday. Wednesday morning we got up and discovered we were having problems with the electrical system so only travel to Watson Lake, Yukon Territory and stopped for the night. Only traveled 422 miles today but hope to be back on the road in the morning. Would like to get back to the USA as soon as we can. FYI it snow today too. Just want to get where it is warm, have been cold long enough.
