Our Campsite in Uvalde

Well this morning I finally got around to taking a few shot of our shaded site here in Uvalde before we leave next week. The trees are about the only thing saving us from the heat.

Only In Texas

Across the street from the campground is a store named Oasis Outback. They are an outdoors outfitter, that has a little more to "offer" than your average sporting goods store. they have now opened their own grill and BBQ restaurant inside the store. They also of course sell Guns and Ammo and hunting supplies. They also have a Drive thru Liquor and feed store, so you can buy all the beer and deer corn you need for your hunt without getting of of your truck. I don't know if this is the greatest store ever or a sad comment on just how odd somethings in Texas are.

On the move Again....Soon

Well, we just found out today that we will be relocating to Gig Harbor, Washington. It is a small town 16 miles northwest of Tacoma right on Puget Sound. This not a travel position, so we will be there for a year or more. We are both very excited about this opportunity, and about the journey there. Expect a lot of post to detail the voyage, but it will not happen for about a month. For we are enduring the 100 heat everyday here in South Texas. Here is a map of the area, The green in the upper left is Olympic National Park and the green in the lower right is Mount Rainier National Park. North Cascades National Park is only an hour or so from Seattle. We will have lots of fun on our weekends.

New interior decor for the home.

Well.... A couple nights ago Sandy said, "you know honey I really think that the valences would look better if they were a different fabric." So... We started looking for a better fabric, but the only fabric store in Uvalde is Wal-mart. We found a fabric that we liked and bought 3 yards. We set down and in just a few hours had all 11 valences recovered and now we think it looks much better. Here are some pics of our handy work. We would have done it sooner if we had known how easy it was and how big a difference it would make.
