Sunday, February 22- Last day with new friends

We awoke to a very cold morning. Temps outside 42, inside 53. We slept with the windows open. Jesse put the heat on before he went out to walk the boys, but it was only on for a minute before it shut off.

It seems that the tank was not full enough to run the heater, but would run the water heater and I quote Jesse “I don’t feel like changing the tanks around” so it was a cold morning. We ran the small space heater until it tripped a breaker, then we just ran the fireplace to warm up the living space and put the shades up to let the sun in.

We were dressed and out the door at 11am to meet the gang at Romano's Marconi Grill. We got there before everyone else so we got a table. Everyone except Rick ordered the chef's special. You received a salad, entre, and dessert for $12. It was a good food and a GREAT deal because Larry picked up the tab for everyone, even us. We have just met this fine man the last few days, he and his wife Dorie are very sweet people. We thank you very much!!!

By the time we left the restaurant it was 2:00. We were going to Santa Ana. The problem was the last tram ride left at 2pm, so we just walked through a few trails.

We saw the following along with several other birds.

A new addition a rope bridge.

For Howard

Once we were back at the cars we said our good-byes with hugs and hand shakes to Rick, Sherry, Larry and Dorie as they are leaving tomorrow. We had a wonderful time getting to know you and look forward to seeing you down the road.

We were home by 4:30, walked and fed the boys. We got in our comfy clothes.

We received a call from Ed that Rollie and Gina along with their youngest son Thomas were going to stop by to say hello.

(I got this picture off of RV-Dreams site from the rally)

They had just returned from a trip to Mexico and dropped by. They have recently purchased a Volvo HDT (Heavy Duty Truck) and a new rig.

They gave us a tour of the truck. It has two beds a table, refrigerator, microwave, and TV and a storage compartment in back for lots of stuff. We were so glad they stopped by and look forward to see them again in Kerrville.

After they left we watched TV and computered for the rest of the evening. This life style keeps us so busy we need the evenings to rest.
