Arrived in Lake Jackson, TX

After 17 wonderful days on the road in our RV, Jerry and I are still speaking and still love each other very much!  Our "Maiden Voyage" was a great learning experience for us and we are so grateful for friends who helped us out with electricity, tornadoes, great meals...family that let us help them out and have a great time esp. at the Rockies game and dining together.  We are blessed with so many loved ones and appreciate your comments, love, encouragement and prayers while we traveled 2,400 miles!  We are  looking forward to another  RV trip in June, one with friends in July and to my 4th Grade Reunion in Durango, Colorado in August!

Love to you all---have a great summer, Coni & Jerry

Mansfield, TX enroute to Lake Jackson, TX

Well...we left  cool Dumas this morning and Jerry said it was the best day ever for driving----NO WIND, AND NO HORRIBLE ROADS!!!! He even drove with one hand for about 29 seconds!! Our challenge for the day was in  Childress, TX at Wal-Mart!  Jerry pulled in the gas station, filled up and depended on me to direct him out of a very tight exit!  Needless to say, I directed him straight tooooooooooo far and he could not make the turn out!!!!!!  So, out of the Blue comes this really, really nice man---who lies on the grass and directs Jerry and makes him turn reallllllly hard and then tells him to cut his wheels and back up!!!  Jerry informs the man we can not back up with the tow trailer (with my car)---the man says, "oh, yes you can!"  So we back up!!!@$#! and then pull up and back up again!!#$@#% and as the man is lying on the grass directing Jerry ..... we make it out of the Wal-Mart gas station, whew!!!  Then off to 

Ft. Worth we go with our "B---- in the Box GPS" who directed us through Rush Hour Traffic directly to our "Texas RV" spot tonight!!  Yeah, we actually unloaded my little car and drove to "On The Border" for dinner and huge Margaritas!  We stopped to get Jerry a paper, I walked the dogs, Jerry is reading and watching the NBA playoffs as I am writing to you!!! Tonight is our last night on the road.  We are traveling back to Lake Jackson in the morning for a 5 hour trip home---the dogs are more anxious than we are!  It has been an awesome 17 days on our "Maiden Voyage!"  As Jerry said, we have learned alot, stressed alot, loved alot and had God watching over us the entire trip, we are blessed and it has been fun!!! Thanks for following our new adventures in our RV!!!! love you all---Coni & Jerry

Wednesday, June 2---LEAVING COOL COLORADO

Bye Haley, John, David, Darby....we are leaving our 5 Star RV park and driving to Dumas, TX today  our journey home begins!!

Tuesday, June 1 Lakewood, Colorado

What a great COOL day in Golden, CO---I began the day wearing a sweatshirt while taking Guy and Girlfriend on the "Doggy Path."  Then switched to shorts before heading over to Haley and John's!  Jerry and John completed the fence in the backyard, WoW what a great job they did!  Haley & I had other Honey-Do's and worked all day getting pictures hung, windows washed, yard mowed, groceries bought and dinner prepared for my brother & Sister-in-law, (David & Darby).  They drove from Ft. Collins to have dinner with us at the kid's new home.  We had fun catching up, laughing about old times, and  just being together.  We returned to our RV, and put on the sweatshirt again to walk the dogs,... we are preparing to depart cool Colorado in the morning.  After talking to our neighbor, Ronnie, we are hesistant to return to the heat, humidity and mosquitoes!  But, we are getting a little homesick!  Today was our 14th day to live in our RV, and we have loved every minute of it!
