Steer Thru' Texas

---

They say once you're out of Texas, you are half way to where you are going...........so we are almost there. We've seen more oil pumps, cottonfields, windmills and long-horn cattle than in any of our travels. We had a wonderful visit with Tom's son, Mike and our daughter-in-law, Donna. No surprise that Mike enjoys the smokin'/grillin' thing like his Dad. He grilled a wonderful dinner for us in his "Green Egg." Tom would go buy one, for sure, if we could travel with it. We spent the weekend doing what many families do-- FOOTBALL! Amazing to find all four of us loving football!

I have a picture of the campground we stayed at in Dallas below. Let's just say it isn't our usual venue. It will take us three more weeks to get out of Texas. The weather turned cold so we had to change plans and take a southern route to Arizona so as to avoid snow and ice traveling through Flagstaff.

Two more notes: 1) This is the first blog I've written since our beloved little beagle departed while we were in Lake Texoma Thousand Trails. Tom and I find ourselves talking to ferrel cats, horses and even the cattle. 2) The long-horns; however, are not particularly interested in conversation with migrating snowbirds (as picture shows.) Enjoy the beautiful Fall weather and thank you for reading our blog!

3 weeks to get out of Texas
Hi Karen and Tom, Love to see the pictures of your travels. It is nice to see that some part of the family is NOT over rated. HA HA! I never heard of a Green Egg before and now I know what it is. The chicken looks like it was really tasty cooked on it. Happy and Safe Travels, May God Bless Joannie

Enjoy reading your blog, thinking about if we were in those places or it might be another spot to hit in the future. Always learning from other RVers. We just returned home in San Diego for the winter. Hoping to head to Alaska next spring.

HeartBroken
Tom and Karen, We are so saddened to hear about your little "Princess" , but as hard as it is for you to let her go - she is now at peace. She was a special little girl - and we are so very glad that we to got to see her again and get such a great picture of her! We know you can never replace her ..........but as much as you enjoyed her traveling with you.........you should go out and share the love you have for animals with a new little boy or girl........Just Do It !!!

Our Great State
Thanks for the lovely pics of our beautiful, wild state! These would be great entries for travel magazines, to attract visitors here. Sorry for your loss. Princess was a part of your family for a long time.

Thanks for the compliments on our pics. Texas has so much to offer. We just might settle there some day.

We still remember your beagle boy wailing his "Hi there" to Princess. Thanks for loving her too.

Loved Texas
Hi you two. We spent September going through Oklahoma, Texas (loved San Antonio) and Arizona. Too bad we didn't run in to you.
