Soon - a vacation from our vacation?

Moved today to a really nice RV park at Grapevine Lake near Grapevine, Texas. We took a quick bike ride before heading over to Renee and Dewey's.  This is such a beautiful area, and the trees are trying to bud out!  Spring is just around the corner . . .

Then with mouths watering we hurried on over to Renee's - she'd lured us there today with the promise of lasagna, salad and peach pie!  Well, it was everything we'd hoped for and more!  Decades have passed since our last home-made lasagna so this was really a treat!

Keeping one eye on the NASCAR race (of which Renee is a devoted fan) we enjoyed a hearty meal and rousing conversation with Dewey & Renee, daughter Staci and her boys, and son Chris Williams, too!   Once again, I was lax with the camera duty, but Harold did snap this one  . . .

"old" friends

THANK YOU SO MUCH RENEE AND DEWEY!  The past few days remind me of the fun we had together all those years - decades actually! - ago!  You showed us a really wonderful time!!  You guys are toooooo nice!  Nothin' like old friends!

So now comes the vacation from our vacation!  We parked Trixie at the doggie B&B and we're flying home to Vancouver on Tuesday just for a week.  Nearly a year ago Robin and I signed up for a scrapbooking weekend at Seaside on the Oregon coast, and now it's time to go.  And Cathy Harvey (great friend and Robby's aunt) is coming, too!  Alessa and Graydon - and Brooke, Jade, Emily and who-knows-who else have been holding down the fort and we'll be so happy to see our loved ones at home! THIS is going to be SO FUN!  

How-ever . . . I can't believe we're leaving this temperate clime and intentionally traveling to a place where the lows are in the 20's and there may even still be snow on the ground! Here's a picture of our darling Graydon at home in Vancouver, Wa, just a few days ago!  brrrrrrrrrrr . . . .

Then, back to Dallas/Fort Worth on the 8th to resume the adventure.  Will let y'all know later how this "vacation" turned out!
