Yesterday was a beautiful day here at the Colorado River Thousand Trails preserve in Columbus, Texas. Blue sky, a light breeze, and about 70 degrees. It would have been a good day for kite flying, but I was focused on getting as much done as possible on the new issue of the Gypsy Journal because […]
Yesterday was another dreary, rainy day here at the Colorado River Thousand Trails preserve in Columbus, Texas. We didn’t want to leave our cozy bed and had to force ourselves to get up sometime after 10 a.m. So much for our commitment to getting up earlier in the day. When we finally did get in […]
In the last week I’ve had three different people tell me that $5 a gallon gas is coming this summer, which will put an end to the RV lifestyle as we know it. One gentleman told me he can’t decide if he should sell his RV now while there’s still a chance to get something […]
Sometimes when I’m trying to figure out a problem and get stuck, I find that if I step away from it for a while I come back with a whole new perspective, or the answer may even come to me when I’m doing something else entirely. So it was with the formatting problem I was […]
It was hard to say goodbye to Greg and Jan White yesterday but we had places to go and people to see, so it was time to hit the road. The good news is, it will only be a month or so before we join up with them again at our Arizona Gypsy Journal Rally […]
I love music and I love traveling, and sometimes I think one influences the other. I’ve wanted to see old Cape Cod from the first time I heard Patti Page sing about it. I was a kid living in El Paso, Texas the first time I heard Marty Robbins singing his now classic song about […]
By yesterday morning the bad weather had moved on, leaving us with partly cloudy skies, and the wind had pretty much abated. Blog readers to the east of us e-mailed to thank me for the wind and rain that was now descending on them. I’m not too sure they were all that sincere in their […]
The storm system that came through this part of Texas was downright wicked! Tuesday night the wind started blowing, the rain started pouring, and there were a few times I thought our motorhome might just take flight. It wasn’t a very restful night! Yesterday morning was just as windy, but at least the rain stopped […]
Even with the noise of the traffic passing overhead on the bridge in Lake Charles and the occasional vehicle coming or going through the parking lot, we still slept well boondocking at the Isle of Capri casino. Since we only had about 140 miles to go to reach our destination, we were in no rush […]
Last night, I finished my new book, Big Lake Lynching. It sure feels good to have it done! Now it’s time for proofreading, then corrections and formatting, and hopefully I’ll get it uploaded to Amazon and Smashwords within a couple of weeks. It’s been a while coming, but I think it will be worth it. […]
