Victoria Texas

   Hi from Texas!! We finally got to out destination on Thursday. It took about a week to get here from California. And we are not very warm here yet. It's been in the 40s and low 50s during the day and dropping down into the 30s at night. So far I really like it here. I always thought of Texas as flat and straight, but we have been in areas of rolling hills and small mountains and trees. It is a nice change from California. Everyone we have met is very nice and people actually notice others when in the stores and parking lots and even on the roads. People seem to really care about others here. Especially in the small towns. It has been raining most of the time we have been here. I told Dave that I guess it rains where ever we go because it rained a lot in Bakersfield and now it has been raining a lot here. We're doing great and are loving this wild adventure that God has us on.

   Adventures of 5th wheel living #2

We normally have a hot cocoa to start our day. So Dave went into the kitchen to make it this morning and stepped into a puddle. Our floor around the stove and under the couch was very wet. We discovered it was leaking from the window. Dave went outside and got on top of the 5th wheel and re-caulked the screws that hold the awning on. We think it might have been running into the wall and then out the window onto the floor. Good thing for us it looks like more rain is on the way! Now we'll be able to see if that fixed the problem.

On the way

On our way out here we stopped early one day to stay in Las Cruces NM. Dave wanted to see the crosses here. We found these ones by the golf course. The information I found said they were put there in 1830 to mark the spot where a group of men had been killed by the Indians.

They had them decorated with Christmas lights. They also are covered in railroad tie nails and old saw blades and other objects from back in the 1830s.
