We had heard great things about the Grapevine RV park, The Vineyard, but had not been able to get reservations on prior attempts, until now. The park is really lovely and our window view was the sun setting over the lake, no obstructions! The weather was perfect, crisp and clear for the most part. It was a great place to practice with the Nikon camera from Kyle - Paul Simon's song keeps cruising through my mind. Ducks are willing subjects. Also sunsets, campfire, the marina; Well, I'm just glad we don't have to pay for film and development anymore.
We celebrated a quiet New Year's Eve with campfire, a very nice home-cooked dinner, and football. We also watched "Wild Hogs." It wasn't any better than the first time we saw it - old, fat guys cussing on bikes; but we did enjoy seeing the town of Madrid, NM again. Our evening came to a close long before midnight, but nearby revelers alerted us to the year end. Bless each of them!
We spent a wonderful New Year's Day at Kyle's house. I got to share cooking duties with him and loved it. We had a mighty fine dinner complete with ham, black-eyed peas, cornbread, sweet potatoes, winning football teams and friends in addition to our family. A down-south kinda' day.
We have now moved to another pretty lakeside spot in Waco. There are differences; Grapevine park is nestled under the jets of DFW, Waco is tucked away under Cessna's (for the most part) of Waco Airport and a shooting club that makes about as much noise. This section of Lake Waco doesn't get much activity in mid-week January, so it is quiet, spacious and lovely.
Even better....it's cheap! Russell gets the geezer discount with his newly acquired SENIOR PASS for National Parks. He got the $10 lifetime pass in November. This gets us $12/night as opposed to $24/night at all Core of Engineer parks. We have become fans of the COE!
HAPPY NEW DECADE TO EACH OF YOU!
