April 4th - April 7th

Well after a couple of very nice days in San Antonio, we headed to Crockett TX to see the "other Lindbergs".  Arda met Genie on her cross-country bike trip so they are sorta kindreds of the bike seat or should I say saddle(?). 

I met Chuck when  he arrived in Navasota with shrimp (no Tom I didn't get sick from his shrimp), cheeses, wine, plus plus, for everyone.  We also spent some time with them and Genie's brother and his wife when we were in Washington last fall.  They are a great couple.

It was a long day, about 4 hours driving but we persevered and made it to the Crockett Family Resort and RV Park.  We set up our trailer and then headed to Genie and Chuck's with dinner ready for the grill... Chuck sure is a mean cook... as in good cook.

Genie had knee-replacement surgery on March 28th but she was really doing great when we got there.  She wasn't doing the two-step yet but she was walking around without crutches and looked great.  We had a lot of laughs about many things and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  We headed back to the campground and to bed around 9:30 that night.

On Tuesday we repeated the day before except the weather was so nice we sat on their dock enjoying the birds, fish, and outdoors.  Did I mention they live on Houston County Lake... they have a gorgeous spot where one can enjoy the lake and all of the  activities that go on there.  Oops better mention that  Chuck made beer-can-chicken and it was delicious... he also provided the libations which were also pretty good.  We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them.

Wednesday was another looong driving day... about 4 hours from Crockett to Arlington :-).  We set up camp once again and headed to Lynda and Fred Weekly's.  Leslie (Lynda's daughter) joined us too.  They had prepared horses-ovaries, wine, and a great dinner which we enjoyed immensely.  We had a great visit as I am sure there will be more.

On a sad note, Lynda's son Joe died suddenly in the fall of last year so Arda wanted to do something for her.  Arda had seen a bear that was done by Cathy Marshall who made one for Mary Eardley out of her son's clothes.  So Lynda packed up a box of Joe's clothes and send them to Arda in AZ where she proceeded to make 2 bears... a "teacher" and "sports" bear.  One for Leslie and one for Lynda but we expect those 2 bears to be well travelled as the share them back and forth.

Joe the Sports Bear & Teacher Bear

We are looking forward to Petra joining us this weekend so will  have more to blog about after she leaves.

Until next time.
