sweat ?? !!!

Here we are back in Houston.  Now, my grandmother said "refined ladies" don't "sweat" ..... they perspire or "get dewey".   Well, let me tell you .... we got about half way back across Texas and I began to get a little dewey ..... and after setting up at our camping spot here in Pearland, I was sweatin!

We had almost forgotten how hot the heat is. Oh well. It is nice to be back 'home'.  It is comforting to know where everything is .... I mean: CVS, UPS, grocery, Verizon, Dillards, Petsmart, Firestone, .. Starbucks ...... Marble Slab (all those places that make our worlds go round).   In every other city we are forever Googling where to find stuff; so it's nice to be in familiar surroundings.

We stopped for most of a day in my hometown of Graham, TX to visit family friends, visit the cementary,  park overnite in the Walmart parking lot ...... and drink a frosty mug of root beer at the K & N drive-in.
And then on to Houston ....

We have 5 days to get ready and packed for our trip to Rome.  We are going to board the dogs, park Mama Mia in storage, and fly to Italy, then take a transAtlantic "repositioning" cruise back to Galveston.  There are several friends from Galveston who are also going.
So when we arrived at the campsite the scene soon looked like a Chinese Firedrill ..... (or some version of the Beverly Hillbillies) ...... we pulled out all the bins of clothing in the 'basement' storage compartments underneath the motorhome, and began to organize, switch out seasons, pull out suitcases, etc. It was good entertainment for camping neighbors I'm sure. 

Too bad Mama Mia can't float; we could do a lot of traveling over there..... but on second thought, I think we are a little big for the European streets and roads.  My posts here will continue (don't want to lose any customers), so stay tooned.

Later, Marilyn
