Relaxing Week on the Frio River





A Little Bit of Heaven

Our first week of this journey was spent in a wonderfully relaxing location, backed right up to the river. We've spent the last week just chilling and enjoying time around the campfire. Considering the fact that we'd never previously camped in our entire 32 year marriage, or even had a campfire, we're really getting into the groove of this lifestyle! This was one of the most relaxing weeks we've had in a long time and we've had a wonderful time.

Our Chi's, Clyde and Duffy, have really enjoyed the week too. They saw their first armadillo and lot's of squirrels, geese, fish and other birds. During a late night around the campfire this week we heard some scampering around and an armadillo had actually walked right up to the campfire and both of them started howling like crazy ! (I have to admit, I was a tad afraid myself...after all, it was pitch dark!) Mark went fishing several days and caught a few as well. Overall, it's been a wonderful week, just what we needed after months of "To-Do's" and Action Items getting things ready for our new life.

Now that our batteries are charged up, we're ready to kick things into gear and take off on our journey. We leave tomorrow for Snyder, Texas for a short visit with my aunt before moving on to Carlsbad, New Mexico Saturday morning. So, until later....
