November 29th – today Vadie continued with a
general cleanup of the coach, as well as doing the laundry. I also helped where I could and got the coach
ready for travel the next day. In the
afternoon, I washed both coaches, the weather was perfect, overcast yet still
warm. Powell was going to help but he
had to take care of things for the farm, always something happening.

sister coaches, both look good when washed
In the evening we played cards as we have since we arrived,
and tonight was the men’s night to beat the ladies, ahhh the ladies had
numerous nights where they gave us a pounding LOL.
November 30th – again the hardest part, having to
say our goodbyes. We had such a
wonderful time, I got to learn so many things, do so many things – just
terrific. Vadie and Char seemed to have
a wonderful time here as well, but it was hard to keep up to Vadie during her
shopping sprees. Vadie tagged along with
Char to a number of different happenings, and we both went to watch the
grandchildren play a few different
sports.
We left Mathis and headed to Boerne TX a total of 237.1
Km. We stayed at the Alamo Fiesta RV
park. There we met numerous ladies –
“Sisters on the Fly” mostly travelling in smaller, older travel trailers. We got to see inside many of them, they had
dressed them up, wow, well in ways that only a woman could do it. The group of
“Sisters” numbers approx 3300 and their aim is being in the outdoors.

1968 Shasta

In the evening, we headed into Boerne and went to the
festival they were having. We had dinner
at the Hungry Horse Restaurant, an excellent restaurant. After dinner we went browsing through the
displays as well as all the stores which were open, many of them which were
closed the last time we were here.
1947 Airstream - portable store - very nicely done
totally restored
December 1st – We travelled from Boerne to
Lampasas Tx – total of 182.4 km.
Before leaving the campsite, the ladies wanted to see what a
Wanderlodge looked like inside. I told
them how old it was, they were surprised, but they were even more surprised of
what they saw inside. The oohs and aahs,
were both very vocal and expressive.
They could not believe how big it was, and all of the things the coach
had to offer. One of the ladies
mentioned that our bathroom is larger than their travel trailer LOL.
These ladies do not travel with any pets, dogs, cats or
husbands . It is time for themselves to
do things with their group.
Once we left we watched for a place called the “Pottery
Ranch”. Vadie was very interested in
stopping there, but since we did not know how big an area they had for parking
etc, we stopped at the closest Walmart, and went by car. Well, to our surprise, there was very little
pottery but many other things for sale, woodwork, fancy metalwork, artistic
statues of nuts, bolts, springs etc.

We finally landed in Lampasas and staying at the Boone RV
park. Joe Hankin mentioned to us that
many shops are open late tonight, as well as they have their Christmas parade,
so again we headed to see different things again. Now lets see, the last time we watched a
Christmas parade was in Terrace, it was snowing and the temp was about
-12C. Here, I am in shorts and a Tshirt
still.
And including Santa himself
Old car we saw in parking lot on the way home - is that A/C on the passenger side?
