Nov 28, 2019 Thanksgiving Day!  Strangely at our RV park there was a large potluck Thanksgiving lunch rather than dinner.  Each person chipped in $4 and the organizers provided Turkey, gravy and drinks.  Each table had 10 people.  We bought homemade guacamole, chips, stir fried broccoli and dinner rolls.  Others at our table brought pie,…

Nov 27, 2019 Didn’t do much again, just caught up on writing and stopped by the Walmart to pick up some groceries, refilled our propane and for dinner we went to the local Chinese Buffet restaurant which happened to be the only Chinese restaurant in town, the Hunan Chinese restaurant.  It wasn’t bad for under…

Nov 24, 2019 Since we drove a bit longer the night before we had time for one stop in Fort Worth.  We went to the Fort Worth Stockyards.  Site of the stockyards where cowboys would end their cattle drives, it is now a cleaned up tourist destinations with stores, restaurants, petting zoo, maze and a…

Nov 23, 2019 Despite our best intentions, we didn’t get on the road until nine but since we were only 20 minutes from our destination of Carlsbad Caverns we still got there plenty early.  We parked at the visitor center and got our tickets with our National Parks pass saving us $15 per person.  There…

Nov 20, 2019 Our appointment at the custom cabinet store was not until 11 so we decided to try one more time to get our car registered.  We went to the nearby tax office and this time we were told that we had to have either home ownership or rental agreement paperwork.  Of course we…

Nov 19, 2019 We arrived at Stanley Springs promptly at 8:00 in the morning.  And proceeded to wait the basically the whole day for them to install the extra rear leaf spring.  However once it was done the improvement was instantly noticeable.  The rear end was a couple of inches higher and I could see…

Nov 18, 2019 OK, Monday, I pulled out our printer and printed our car insurance cards and we were definitely going to get the RV registered!  We drove to the closest tax office and were pleasantly surprised that the line was not very long.  Got to the front.  Got application form, check!  Got RV Title,…
