Merry Christmas in Texas

Yes we are back in Texas, and yep I pull that big ol' RV. I would have never thought I would be doing that, lol. It really isn't terrible, but it does take concentration.We thought it would be nice and warm, but wouldn't you know it ...... the cold followed us. In a time of such pressures the world offers, remember to go to God and He will give you peace. I am still trying to work through all the things in my life that He is making clear to me. The many sins of me, it gets overwhelming at times.
I will try to be what He wants me to be,as we all do. Praise the Lord for guiding us.
Anyway we are back in Texas and are glad to be south, however, we may end up going to Chicago in January. Yikes! It is really cold up there. Not much news except we really liked Tn, and getting to see Heather and the family in KY. It was nice being that close to them. We are very excited about them coming down for Christmas.
We haven't gotten to the boat much, but hopefully we will spend New Years there, as usual. We will probably go to the party at the church first. It is always nice to spend time with them.
well I better go see if my truck will start, there are many people out here having trouble, because of the cold.
We have traveled a lot this year, and really enjoyed being at the Rocky Top Rv park in TN the best. The owners are great, and the people there where very interesting.

Hangin' out in Kentucky

Well, we are here in the hollers of Kentucky and it is a very interesting area. Lots of history, not a new thing about Kentucky. There will be a reinactment of the war here in the next few weeks, I am not sure of the date yet, but will keep you posted. Well, Heather, this isn't the paradise of sun, water and sails. Your Dad and I both are about ready for that change. It is sounding better even to your crazy ol' Mom, who has a boat and is afraid to go far from land, lol. A fear, by the way, that many sailors have. I just need to face that fear, and I say to that one, "This on too!!!!!!" Lol.
Well, seriously , not much going on here, I have gotten to meet some of the campers around here. Most of them are working in the area, like us.
The dogs are loving it here, they seem to like the leaves, now that they aren't freaked out by movement. I found yesterday that Bella is afraid of shadows. Sorry Heather, I am not as good at taking phots of them as I was with my human kids and grands. But they are funny.
I love the dinner table story of Jonah's Independence.
I also loved Zoe's call. I will enjoy our conversations, as always. I am hoping that we can get together soon, so that we can enjoy som of those dinner time, daily, funny little times. Love to you all.

Life Changing Events

Since I have last written, I have seen so many pictures from the hurricane Ike and what it did to pretty much all of the lands that we know. My home town is basically gone, and the beach we were thinking of buying a house on, well, all but one house is gone, along with most of the beach. Everything I read and hear makes me heartsick. I have no idea how this will turn out. People will continue to rebuild and do everything they can do. This really brings the fact that lives can change in an instant. There are site set up to donate to the cities on the Gulf coast and Bridge City areas. If nothing else , prayer is what everyone really needs. They need God's grace to get through this mess. I wish I could make things better, or at least go back to the way they were pre Ike. But I can't do any of that so I will do what I can for those I know and some I don't know. I hope this is the last storm for the year. Winter is coming and I am worried about these people, especially the one who have nowhere to go. The elderly and the young. I pray that God will look kindly on them and have mercy.
