Got new brakes and shocks on the Roadtrek today. We drove down to Progresso and enjoyed walking around. By noon the sidewalks were filled with tourists. We picked up the van but have to bring it back to them to finish up somethingies with the shocks. Beautiful sunset tonight. Zoo day tomorrow.

Monday morning

Tables and chairs stacked hosing down the floor. Rainbows in the mist. Dogs come a greeting. Birds chirp: grackles. Cardinal. Lbb (little brown birds) and the chittery mockingbird. and the Texas wind blows. Palms sway. The bright orand of fresh fruit catches the eye. Sun warm. Clouds rush off. Wonder where they ate going. Getting ready to follow.

Love waking up at the beach

Texas Times With the RedHead Express 10 Texas Trails

We are now in to the routine:  We arrive a few hours before the show and set up the chairs in theater fashion and bring in all the equipment.  The boys, Will and Brett set up the speakers and sound stuff. Kathy sets up the merchandise table while the girls and Apryll get set lists, schedules and practice for the show. The boys bake cookies and practice for the show when they finish helping with the sound stuff. Then comes the sound check.  It is great hearing snipits of songs, beautiful voices sing out, bellow out and blend together. Sometimes early arrivals get to listen too. Kathy spent time writing additions to the Texas schedule on brochures Brett is the master of sound.... Kendra Then comes the show!
