WELCOME

Welcome to our blog, we hope to share with you the trials and tribulations of our conversion from a 'stick' home to a '5th wheel home' to Mobile living.

Getting Lonely

At months end the remainder of our friends have started to head home. Many of the 'Full Timers' are taking indirect exploratory routes. On Wed. we will visit some friends that stopped off at South Padre island for a few weeks. We are looking forward to a real beach and of course our 'missed' friends. That's the 6 of us on the right.

The picture on the right was taken at Macaroni's Bar & Grill in Pharr, Tx. It was a 2 for 1 special, boy did we dine well for under $15.00.






We did a quick run over to Mexico to get dog medication (Heart worm) which is required during warm climates (mosquito infections) so we will be using this med every month from here on. The Mexican cost is a fraction of CDN/USA cost. We got a 12 month supply. Jane had an eye on a small storage cupboard on our last trip, since Frank and Genia drove their truck into Mexico we took advantage of their vehicle and bought the cupboard. We couldn't get that one but we got one that fit just as well.



The rest of the week was spent saying goodbye's and planning our trip home to ensure that we allowed enough time to visit with our new found 'Yankee' friends in Kentucky and Ohio on the way home. You will have to pardon our y'all accent when we get home until we learn to speak English again, LOL!













Good bye, Maurice & Lucille (Montreal), Ted & Connie (Ottawa). Ted and I went to the same High School in Ottawa (Fisher Park HS).









Don and Sara Jane from Ohio with their friends Bruce and Peggy.



















Dan and Evelyn from Lakefield Ont were late arrivals but
became good friends for a short time.







The hardest 'Good Bye' will be to our new 'Winter Texas Mobile Home' as well as 'The Rio Grande Valley' that has graciously made us feel so welcome.
