We did get nasty weather as you all got up north this week - only very mild by our standard and devasting by their standards - crops ruined and everything came to a standstill Friday morning. I didn't know too much about it - I came down with the flu late Tuesday night and was pretty much out of it until about 5pm today. Hope no one else gets this awful crud. Moaned alot, slept alot, was just pure lousy company for Dave. We learned a huge lesson with this sickness - I had not prepared the RV for anything like this - no medicine, no thermometer (what that would do - who knows - you know when you have a fever, dah!) When we head out next time - we will make sure we have brought all the first-aid, home remedy stuff from the house. As it turned out weather wise - our high Wednesday and Thursday was 37, the low at night got down to about 27. We were fortunate that our water lines didn't freeze - we watched our neighbor fight with getting ice out of the hose until about 10am which is when the sun rose far enough to hit the hose and melt the ice. Woke up Friday morning to about 1/4 inch of ice on everything. Very pretty - but very hazardous. Was beautiful watching the sun beating down yesterday morning on the palm trees and seeing ice chunks flow down. Lucky no one was hurt.
We have decided to extend our stay here from 1 month to 6 weeks. There is still so much more to see and do - and with me getting sick and loosing this week, well - we just have to add more time to the end. We have started to see some folks pack up and go, I think by March 1st we will see a mass exodus - temps here are typically near 90 and people don't like that. By March 1st we should be headed to San Antonio then begin our journey back north.
