Settling In

Thursday, October 5, 2017

We arrived here at Buckhorn Lake RV Park in Kerrville, TX where we stayed last year in November and are settled, sort of, in the same location as last year where we overlook the creek and bridge shown below.  Nice to have a view of something instead of other RV's.  This is one of the reasons we like this particular part of this resort.  Our weather has been so so with much rain and high humidity but also some sunshine.  Well, let’s face it, this is Texas in the fall.   

We are very happy to be here once again and really do feel at home in this Park and the town of Kerrville.  Have already been to the Elks Lodge, where people are so friendly and welcoming and even remembered us from last year.  I have found a new hairdresser and nail salon and have already spent money at tbeen  twice to the local crafts store (equivalent to Hobby Lobby).  Ron has not been out yet to the golf course due to the weather but hopes to get out there in the next week.

We leave here tomorrow for an overnight visit with my daughter and family in Kyle (about 90 miles) taking in the football game where our two grandkids will be playing in the marching band then on to Livingston where we will begin the process of becoming domiciled in Teas with our mail, car registrations, licenses, voting, etc.   This will be through Escapees which is an RV organization we belong to and has much to offer the RVer in terms of benefits.  We hope to only be there for a couple of days and will complete the rest of the process here in Kerrville.   We think Kerrville might be our permanent home once we decide to quit RVing full time, but who knows until that actually happens. 

We should be settled back here once we arrive back next week but will spend a few weekends off and on with the kids over the next three months including Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is nice to be close by to spend time with the family who have always lived so far away.  Wish my son lived closer as Virginia is soooo far away.   However, it was nice to see Bill recently in Albuquerque for his Dad’s surprise birthday party. 

Yesterday we had quite a thrill when the bird below flew into our creek and spent a bit of time there.  We think it is an egret, stork or a whopping crane.  Not sure which since we are not bird watchers.  Beautiful bird as you can see from the picture.  

Signing off until we return from Livingston next week.
