Chris and Jason brought us breakfast this morning and saw us off, so they got to see what hitching up and getting the rig ready to roll looks like. It always tickles me to show people how the slides work. For some reason, folks are really captivated by that. Site built houses just don’t have [...]

For whatever reason, I woke up feeling worse on Thursday than I did the day before. I’m not sure why, but I do know that my sunburned legs were now covered with small little blisters. I made myself get up and dressed and went into town where I went shopping for souvenirs for the folks [...]

Not a lot to report today. After scoring really excellent doughnuts from the Snowflake bakery for breakfast, I visited the local cemetery to find the graves of the Hay ancestors. There are quite a few very old tombstones there, some dating back to the Texas Revolution. The first Hays to settle in Bandera, Alexander and [...]
Mostly, this blog is about the ins and outs of living fulltime in an RV. That means lots of posts about the mechanics of the rig, adapting to small spaces, and being on the road. One thing I haven’t written much about but that has been on my mind a lot this summer is how [...]
We were up around 8:00 a.m., and at 8:30 sharp, my friend Melinda knocked on the door. She was carrying homemade breakfast tacos AND a pan of cinnamon rolls! She brought us some El Milagro tortilla chips and a bag of groceries! That was so incredibly kind and generous. She must have figured we look [...]

Today was our last full day in San Antonio. Lex spent part of that day in town at a work-related meeting. I stayed home, cleaned house, and waited for a college friend, Melinda, to show up for a visit in the afternoon. We hadn’t seen each other in nearly fifteen years, but when she got [...]
Today was my day to geocache here in San Antonio. Before I did that, however, I needed to get the oil in the truck changed. We’ve come over 2,000 miles on our trip, so before we start heading back, we needed to take care of our tow vehicle. I had the shop put Rotella T [...]
Today I went to the post office in Elmendorf, not far from the RV park where we are staying, so I could mail Alexis’ iPhone 3G. The two-year-old phone sold in under two minutes on eBay for $150. What? Are people out of their minds? They can get the newer model, the 3GS for only [...]
Because Lex was off, we both spent a lazy Monday just poking around the house. Later in the afternoon, I did go into town to run a few errands and pick up some groceries. Came home, put together some dinner, and ended up going to bed early. So, not much else to report about Day [...]

Today marks the two-thirds point on our trip. We’ll be home in three weeks. We still have a week left in San Antonio, a week in Bandera and a few days in the DFW area before we head back, though, so it’s not over yet! I woke up early today and started cooking. The build-a-taco [...]
