"Today is a Good Day to Drive!" .....Van-Go

We couldn't drive through Stonewall and not stop at the park where we had volunteered. We caught up with Iris, Rita and Steven and caught up a bit. Sure love that living history farm from 1915.

April 11, 2009 We spent the morning visiting the farm. The three baby pigs got out of their pen and pushed their way into the calfs pen. Oh what a time they were having. The pigs rooted and the calf kept trying to play. Rita was frosting the lamb cake, eggs were being colored with beet juice and black tea, cookies were baking....Easter on the farm.

April 7, 2009 We drove to Hye, Texas where there is an auto repair garage. The man was able to fix the broken window switchs in the Roadtrek so now Kathy will be able to open her window once again. To keep ourselves occupied we walked across the street to the Post Office and found it to be an antique store too. By afternoon the Roadtrek was back together and we drove over to LBJ picnic area and washed the dirt and grim off the Roadtrek. Will made a yummy dinner and we took an after dinner stroll around the park. Then we headed down to Luckenbach where Levi Darr was hosting for the evening.

April 6, 2009 Breakfast at Luckenbach was fun. Danny served the coffee and Will brought in hot oat toast smuthered in butter. Kathy visited with Miss Kitty. A few brave bikers were about warming their hands at the woodburning stove. We stayed and chatted with Danny, Virgil and Dave. We watched Danny sweep up the barroom then headed over to LBJ State Park. We did a walk about. The deer were grazing; the fawns still have their spots. The longhorns were looking for fresh hay and came right up to the fence. We visited with Bob and Dolly and caught Terry and maintence staff trying to fix a blockage in the pipes of the picnic area restrooms. We walked down to the farm and visited with Steven and Virgina. Iris picked our brains for ideas for a new bird blind. We ended up at the picnic area for dinner and the rest area for the evening.

March 24, 2007 We woke to a cloudy day with a soft breeze, made some coffee and had breakfast under the live oak tree. Ricky stopped by with a hello and told us that Kite Day would get underway sometime around 12:30-1:00. Not what we had expected to hear, but we used the free time to walk over to the tennis court and hit a few balls around. Came back and had some lunch, and were playing scrabble when Ricky and Bob drove up with a truckload of tables. We helped them set up and before we had everything ready the first kite makers arrived. Ranger Patrick had already put up a few of his kites giving the place a little atmosphere. Children came with parents and grandparents ready for a day of making their own kites and flying them. Ricky and the staff had prepared the frames and cut the paper to the correct size so it was just a matter of decorating and assembling. Will helped with getting the kites into the air and Kathy helped with the assembling. Vicky, Karen, Ricky, Bob, Patrick and Bev...
