Victoria, TX - 238 miles from our Winter home!

80º in Victoria, Texas at 7:00 pm.  Arrived at Lazy Long Horn RV Park about 6 pm after stopping at a McDonald's to pick up couple of sandwiches to eat in the trailer.  Hooked up to cable and watching the start of the third World Series game.

We got to our friends Ernest & Evelyn Baker's place, just north-north-east of Houston about noon.  Had a great visit and lunch -- much from their own garden.  I took several pictures, but the WIFI we have tonight is so slow it will not up-load even one picture at a time.  That compares with the WIFI we had last night that was so strong and fast that I uploaded something over 40 pictures in less than 10 minutes.

Anyway, Ernest & Evelyn had been at our park many years in Kenwood and he had served as minister during most of them.  This year they are doing some travelling to California and then Israel in January so will not serve as pastor for the Kenwood RV Park this year.  They sold their mobile home in the park last spring, and sold their home in Oklahoma this summer and have moved into a new home on 6-acres by their son's place.  Really nice home with nice yard-work, etc.  They had garden out back that served them well.  In fact we ate zucchini and green beans from their garden at lunch.

We left their place about 2 pm and drove in some pretty heavy traffic in and around Houston, but it was all interstate and though had a little bit of stop-and-go was mostly pretty smooth.  Way too much traffic for my liking for driving in very often.

We should be at our Kenwood home shortly after lunch tomorrow and will take several days opening it up, flushing the hot water heater, getting all the window insulation down, unpacking the fully loaded back of our pickup, moving food from the trailer freezer and refrigerator into the house, etc., etc.

More later.  Lynn
