Becoming Texans

Monday, October 9, 2017

Yesterday I mentioned that we had taken a drive around Lake Livingston and I would post some pictures.  This  very large reservoir/lake is about 12 miles from here with trees right along the edges.  Lots of homes along the water with docks and covered marinas jetting into the lake as well as a large KOA campground right next to it. 

  Lots of small manufactured and large homes sitting amid large grassy plots in one area, a gated community in another and lots of other homes interspersed among the trees close to or right on the water.  With the weather still so warm (in the low 90’s), there were a few boats and jet skis out on the water as we drove over the bridge.  

I spied this old run down house next to the road with its wood siding, overturned resin chairs on the porch and rusted metal roof.  It is still  inhabited as there were several cars and trucks in the driveway.  I love old beat up places as they make interesting pictures.

Today was the day for us to change our residence to Texas and start changing all our business addresses as well.  What a headache making all the calls and emails.  The worst was trying to get new rates for medical, prescription, car and RV insurances.  With one company I spent over an hour on the phone trying to get rates and change our address.  Only a few more to do tomorrow, mainly those companies (government offices and banks) that take off for Columbus Day.  Hopefully tomorrow we can go to the DMV,  get our car and RV registrations done and new plates and I can get my drivers license.  Ron must take a written and driving test since he has to get a special license to drive the RV.  (I no longer drive the RV.)  Not sure whether he can get in the driving test without an appointment.  If not, hopefully, he can get this done in Kerrville when we return.

Signing off for now, Y'all.
