Our trip south - Falcon State Park, Texas

On Valentine's Day we helped with the annual gift exchange/party.
And talk about a functional clothesline! The laundry dries quickly in the Texas wind.
For a week we had some cool weather. One day we even woke up to snow on our steps!
We sure enjoy the extra space we have in this trailer compared to our old camper.
I even managed to get a little quilting done.
Isn't this a great view within steps of our campsite in Falcon?

Texas 2011

We are settled in at Falcon State Park where we have camped annually for 8th year! We had a cool spell for about 10 days but it has warmed up once again. This year there are a lot of sandburrs and thorns and Bert is kept busy patching and buying new inner tubes and tires!

In Search of the Tree

On Saturday, December 11, Maaike and Tom and Baby Drayden and Bert and Marianne and Stef and Jack went down Cowpath Road to cut down a Christmas tree. Bert and Marianne said that they had the perfect tree down on the farm but they would help the rest of us pick out and drag the tree to the cars.

Yes...a gate may not be too exciting, but it completes my garage project.

Many thanks to Jeff and Dave who assisted with this project.

This was taken almost forty years ago.

We went to the beach last week when it was really hot and somebody took our picture.

Nostalgia

Several of us went to visit Aukje (and Pierre) in Quebec. I don't remember the year but if someone lets me know I will insert it later.

Stef having some good clean fun! Once again, I don't know the year.
