Hi there I'm back to catch this up starting from the Jan. 2nd to Jan. 12th.

Jan. 2 was about 28 degrees in the morning. Ron and Nancy called about going to Buchanan Dam area. We will meet up with them on Friday Shady Oaks R.V. Park. Went to Wall Mart and then stay at camp rest of the day. Leaving in the morning for Buchanan Dam.

Jan. 3 left Livingston TX for Buchanan Dam around 9am. Its still cold and 28 degrees here. Arrived at Buchanan Dam - Shady Oaks RV Park up in the hills. Ron & Nancy was waiting for us. Ron guided us back in to the camp. We went up in the hills on this small road and then down into the camp by Inks Dam were the camp ground is. It is 2 3/4 miles off 29 onto 301. We going to stay here for a week, lots to see here.Got park and visited with Ron & Nancy. The deer come right up to your camper. Not a real big camp ground but a real nice one. Big oak trees here and they are about 1700 years old.

Jan 4 we went into Marble Falls TX. to get some groceries and fill truck up. We took Ron & Nancy with us and they show us around the town. We stop a little Mexican Restaurant off of some side street. Not bad food there but very warm. Returned to camp for the rest of the day.

Jan 5 stayed around camp all day and just cleaned and rearranged things. Nice park and friendly people here. The men have coffee every morning at the club house around 8am before the day starts.

Jan 6 warm today about 68 degrees. Went with Ron & Nancy to Marble Falls to Home Depot & Wal Mart. Stopped and ate lunch at Storms in Kingsly. Went back to camp and checked e-mail and just relaxed. About 6pm went over to Ron & Nancy. Ron & Ron had fish. and just sit and visted for a while. Nobody moves around much after 6pm. Its real quit here.

Jan 7 another warm morning 67 degrees - cloudy - afternoon cleared and 76 degrees. Went to Llano to go on Willow City loop. On the way we stopped at the Post Office for some stamps and Lois was offer a Job there (part time). Then drove in the hills to looking for Eagles. Did not see any. Stopped at Coopers BBQ for a late lunch. Food good but a little over priced.

Jan 11 sunny 78 degrees real nice. Guest what? Lois and I went to Wal Mart again to get groceries and fuel for the truck ($3.21 a gal). When we got back to camp Bill and Judye had just pulled in. We sat and talked and walked around camp after they had set up camp. Bill and I called Dave & Trish and Greg & Judy. Greg & Judy are in Livingston Tx, they will meet up with us maybe in the valley. Went in early this evening.
