On March 2, 2016 we drove over to Bentsen Grove RV Park in the upper Rio Grande Valley.

We were going to attend a concert by Link Union!  

Rachel and her Dad,  Lance, with Will before the show.

And the show begins

Aaron is amazing on the guitar and he is also a songwriter.

Ashley plays fiddle.

Rachel plays bass and sings and well, she is the leader of the band so to speak.

Aaron is with Ben, the banjo player of the group.

John is the youngest and plays the bass guitar.

The show was amazing filled with energy and

great music

and meaningful songs.

This is Becky; she is the mom and plays keyboard and sings.

Rachel sings some amazing songs.

And keeps the action going too.

This is Kyle on the fiddle; his wife is Ashley.

Check out Ben's new banjo.

Link Union

Love that smile.

Rachel picks up that bass and plays it.

See it is up off the ground.

The music has a way of getting your hands clapping and 

your feet stomping

Link Union



Rachel plays a penny whistle too.

Ben sure can play that banjo!


Second set....

Kyle

John back there on bass

And what audience doesn't want to see the kids.

Kyle introduces Hudson and Maddy.

Back to the music

....

And Rachel is playing accordion too now.

Yep, she has a mandolin in her hands.


The music is great!

The singing is great!

The family is great!

After the show Maddy wanted to show how she can jump off the stage; she liked to see the pictures of her hair flying.

Rachel jumped too!

Ben showed us his new banjo.  He was there to help put some of it together.

Just hanging out.

That little Hudson is a cutie pie.  Look for Link Union coming to your area.

Houston Fest Galax, VA

Image
We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose missio...

Navy Buddies

Image
Today is a good day to drive! We drove across Amarillo, TX to visit with Will's Navy buddy, Ron.  We found him in the same park we had met him in about ten years ago. These two men met fifty years ago aboard The USS Platte.  ( Platte  made almost yearly deployments to the western  Pacific Ocean  from 1960 to 1968, including extensive operations in  Vietnamese  waters and refueling the  USS  Enterprise  (CVN-65)  task group off Korea during the  Pueblo incident . Platte served with the Pacific Fleet into 1970. She was sold for scrapping on 14 May 1971.)   Ron suggested La Fiesta Grande for an early dinner, a great Mexican place.  It was fun listening to the stories all starting with, "Do you remember...." We dropped Ron back off at home and met Don, a neighbor. See you again somewhere sometime, Ron. Okay, so check out these drinks that were delivered to the next table!

Our Own Palm Tree

Image
December 15, 2007 We woke parked at the Walmart; we have a nice spot we like way off to one side where we face a little lawn and have our own palm tree. Not many people park in this area because it is farther to walk into the store; at night a few other overnighters park in the lot, but they park up with the trucks so we pretty much have this area to ourselves. From there we drove to Victor Park, a community park with tennis courts, picnic area and fields for sports. The restrooms were locked, but no biggie as we have our own facilities. Will started up the generator and worked on a letter to the Chevy Guy in New Brunswick he has been formulating in his mind ever since we left Canada. The Roadtrek just stopped one day and we had to have it towed and lucky for us it was to a Chevy repair garage. We had our fuel tank fixed and they cut the fill tube. Roadtrek had designed a specialty one they didn’t have so they just jury rigged one. Fixed they said; we paid the bill of over a thousand d...
