Back at Rayford Crossing RV Resort

We drove 15 miles from Country Place RV  Park in Cut N Shoot to Rayford Crossing RV Resort in Spring.  We are scheduled to have the Lone Star Allegro Rally here beginning Friday.

We have had pretty good rain while here in the Houston area.  Three days in a row it has rained pretty hard early mornings. The skies are very dark and it looks like it will poor again this afternoon.  We will see.

Got all set up, got laundry done and as we were doing that, we had some good friends come by to visit.

Phil and Gisele stopped by as they were heading home from visiting their daughter.  I took this picture from the April rally we had at Burleson, TX.  I forgot to take their picture today.  They are such good friends and welcomed their visit, even though it was a short visit.

Friday 013

When they left I continued with my chores.  I cleaned the coach and then we headed out to the pool...

Well, we got no rain this evening but the sky sure was dark for a while.  Until next time!

Our Visit With The Srutkas

We met Bob, JoAnn and Janet last Wednesday for dinner.  Had a great time with them as usual.  Bob and JoAnn, whom we have traveled with several times, invited us to their home for dinner on Sunday afternoon.  It is always so nice to meet up with them.  Here are some pictures of our time together.

Bob, Precious and Manuel sit and watch a game as they visit.
