Another long blog-January 25, 2014

The couple in the RV next door are big bird feeders. They're not big and they don't feed big birds. Oh, you know what I mean. There are feeders hanging all over the place. Yesterday while it was still very cold, the cutest little birds starting feeding on two of the feeders.

They appear to be some sort of yellow chickadee. I do know that they get so excited while

they are feeding that they fly away from the feeder and bash themselves into the side of our coach. We have lost count of the number of "thuds" we have heard in the past few days. No casualties so far. But I bet a number of them have suffered bad headaches at the very least.

 

Yippee, we finally saw the sun today! We could not get ready fast enough and get out of here. The Hill Country of Texas is the prettiest part of the state. It really is. It is also known for countless numbers of wineries and huge herds of show goats. No, I am not kidding. Pardon the pun. We struck out with no real destination and ended up in Fredericksburg which as you know is one of our favorite cities.

 

Judy, this picture is for you and yours.

Becker Vineyards. Beautiful location. Great stone building.

 

The Admiral Nimitz Museum on Main Street in Fredericksburg. We have been here before

and I blogged about it, so I won't repeat it. I just happen to like the building.

 

We made new friends today. The complete group consisted of David, Marisa, Lauren,

Brooke and Dan. We were flattered these young people from New York and New Jersey

would take time to talk to us old folks. They were interested in the fact we just picked up and

started traveling around the country. Actually it was three years ago next Tuesday that we sold our

house on Ono Island and became geriatric gypsies. I am so sorry I was facing into the bright

light in the above picture. These three nice people were all extremely photogenic.

Hey guys, we had a great time talking to you!!

 

 

Nancy and Larry, this one's for you.

Nobody seemed to care that I hopped out of the car just to snap a picture of this cardboard sign.

 

Barbara, this one's for you.

Can you paint this one?

 

 

We had such a fun day. It was wonderful to get out and enjoy the day to its fullest. We are sorry two more cold and icy storms are due in here on Monday. We can't get a break from this cold dreary winter. We think we hear Las Vegas calling our names and we are trying to answer.

 

Have a very blessed and peaceful Sunday. I hope the sun is shining wherever you are.
