What happened to Austin?

Thursday, January 20, 2011

Well, we didn't stop in Austin, TX!  We were supposed to have some work done on the trailer just North of Austin, but the whole service department was at school, so, we ended up driving all the way to Dallas, TX.  That was the longest day we have had so far - 326 miles and almost  8 hours.  (Boy, was Mom ever grumpy!)  Mom called her cousin and a friend of hers suggested a camp site, but when we got there - they didn't allow pets!  So, we kept going until we found this little place called Hidden Acres RV Park (in Princeton, TX) - and boy oh boy, is it ever hidden!  We are out in the country in a very small park that has maybe 20 sites.  Mom wanted to move closer to town, but we couldn't find anyplace, so here we are, and here we are going to stay.  It sure is a lot different from the last place we were at.  I think I even scared a raccoon out of the garbage can the other night when Dad and I went for a walk.

We are all freezing to death too.  The low tonight is supposed to be down to 22 degrees!  It was rainy and the wind was blowing today, and Mom and Dad kept talking about wind chill - that's when the wind blows and it feels a lot colder than it really is!

The only good thing about these kind of days is Mom and Dad like to cook "comfort food" - today Dad made short ribs - YYYUUUUUMMMMMMM!

Tomorrow I may get to meet Mom's cousin, Kathy.  Mom says they might have dogs to play with - Kathy used to raise Irish Setters.  I'll let y'all know what happens!  (Y'all is a Texas term.)
