Thanksgiving in TX

Sorry I haven't published anything lately. We made our way across AZ into NM and on to TX. It was pretty uneventful actually. We took our time, only made about 150 to 200 miles a day, and that was OK. The last night before we got to Gainesville we stayed in Wichita Falls, TX in the city park. It appeared that Wichita Falls was a little short of camp grounds, at least we didn't find many. Anyway the city park is right in town, next to the interstate. The traffic noise didn't bother us as we both sleep like rocks. The park was nice with paved sites and water and electricity and a dump station on the way out. There were about 10 or 12 of us parked there on Sunday night before Thanksgiving. Barry got into a great conversation with the guy next to us who was stationed in Korea with Jim, Barry's Dad. They never did figure out whether they knew each other, but were at the same place at the same time. About 4 in the morning there was a knock on the door, (brought Tailer out of a dead sleep). Barry went to the door to find a young man needing money to fix a flat on his van...so he said. Anyway Barry finally figured out that the guy was just a scam artist and out for some $ and sent him on his way. The next day another camper told us that he had hit them up 2 nights earlier with the same story. Must work for him though, or he wouldn't continue to do it. Ah, life in the big city, at least in city park!
We arrived at Carol and Mike's the Monday before Thanksgiving. Carol is Barry's older sister. They live on a farm so there was an ideal spot to park the trailer. There were about 30 of us for Thanksgiving dinner. Carol and Mike have 6 kids and they were all here except one with their families. Barry's brother and his family and sister and hers were here as well. It was the first time that Barry and his siblings had been together since their mother's funeral. We have had a great time since we have been here.
Yesterday we drove to Denton and met Dick Burch, one of the DU RDs in MN. He is in TX visiting his daughter, so we met for lunch and had a great visit. Also visited with Cassandra, one of Carol's daughters that lives in Denton.
We plan to leave the trailer here and just drive the truck to WY for Christmas. We will start getting ready for the trip pretty soon. Then after the first of the year, we will come back down, pick up the trailer on our way to AZ. Until later, B&D
