Happy Birthday, Julie!

Today was Julie's birthday--we've been celebrating her "almost birthday" the last few days. When I called to wish her a happy birthday, she said she planned to enjoy her special day by getting lots of rest. With a five-year-old and an almost three-year-old, that's a real challenge--but the kids did go to school today.

We started our journey south this morning. Our first destination after we pulled out of our site and dumped was the Lewisville main post office, where we mailed our cookie packages. Then we got on Hwy 35 south and drove for 180 miles before we turned off the highway. We did stop at a picnic area just north of Waco for a quick lunch of turkey salad sandwiches. We ate in Venture because it was too chilly to be comfortable outside.

We pulled into our campground, Berry Springs RV in Georgetown (just north of Austin)around 3 p.m. The host was friendly and cheerful as he directed us to our long level pull-through and gave us the code for the free wi-fi.


You can see that our bicycle cover held up well today with the new center strap. It was great to have a chance to do some sewing using Julie's machine. Ken got a shot of my new canvas shoe pockets. The bed is raised to show them off, but when it's closed, the bedskirt hides this nifty organizer.



This evening we spent some time again going through some of our photos, choosing which to keep and which to discard. That gives us an opportunity to remember some of our adventures.
