Back in Houston

We made it back to the Houston area last Wednesday 09/24. We are working and staying in Magnolia at Timber Ridge RV Village.
We have the best site in the park. Concrete pad and HUGE patio and concrete driveway. A great site. Not much shade, but that will be a moot point in a few weeks anyway. There is a severe dust problem as the roads are grave.
Brenda is working in the office and I help her when she needs it. I also work in the park. I have replaced the numbers at the sites and I started the horseshoe pits, today. I'm not used to the business end of a shovel, and I am sore, but the soil is soft and not too hard to dig in.
Brenda takes the reservations, checks the guests in and out and collects the money. There is a lot to running a campground. The software on the computer is a little more complicated than it probably needs to be.

We went to the Texas opry in Magnolia with Ted & Donna. We lived in this area for 27 years and didn't even know that it existed. The show was great. We really enjoyed ourselves. There is also a cafe attached to the theater, good country 'cookin'. Meat, 2 sides, drink (tea, water, or coffee), and dessert for $10.00. The show was $12.00 ea., so a great night out for not too much money. We plan too go again.
We have not seen or heard from Jay or Stella since we got back, but Jay is working some ungodly hours and Stella has been in Port Arthur. Hope to see them soon.

We visited My sister and her husband on Sunday. They finally got power back on Saturday afternoon. 2 weeks without power, wow. Luckily they had a generator to keep their food in good shape.

We have settled down now until the middle of Feb. So, our travels are curtailed until then.
We will continue to post as time goes on.

Ta ta till then
