Yikes! It's snowing. . .

Well we had a very nice stay at the Houston Elks RV Park. We celebrated Marilyn's 39th birthday (hee-hee-hee) with a few nice presents for her that I had picked up, and of course we had an excellent dinner at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen. We both enjoyed the day.

Marilyn and I loaded up on books from Half Price Books in the Houston/Sugar Land area. We just love those stores!

We continued through San Antonio and into Kerrville where we stayed at the local Elks Lodge RV Park and joined some of the local folks in a very good dinner.

The next night we stayed outside of Sheffield, TX; and tonight we were planning on being in El Paso, but-t-t-t the weather had other plans. It was raining 'cats and dogs' (or is it armadillos and and rattlesnakes here in West Texas?), and then when we got about 40 miles from Van Horn, the rain turned into that cold-white-stuff. So being the prudent travellers that we are, we

got off of the Interstate and went into Van Horn this afternoon to spend the night and wait out the snow storm. Or as Marilyn so aptly put it, we decided that we would console ourselves with a steak dinner (afterall, there just happens to be a nice steak house next door).

Our intentions were to visit the El Paso Elks Lodge (a nice lodge and RV Park that sits up on a hill over-looking the city), but with our 'snow-diversion' it would appear that we will probably hold up at the Las Cruces Elks instead, to be followed by our almost annual visit to the Tucson Elks the following night.

Just hope that we can get out of Van Horn tomorrow morning, and the way that it has been snowing and continuing at this time with about three inches accumulated on the ground, we may just find ourselves spending some additional time in beautiful downtown Van Horn, Texas!

It may be white and cold outside, but it is sure toasty here inside, thank goodness.
