Last week we received a call that our daughter-in-law Jennifer's mother had passed away. On Thursday of last week we packed a few things in the truck and headed for Rockdale, TX. We stopped for the night and arrived there on Friday afternoon, 720 miles. The services were on Saturday. Sunday we headed for Kilgore, TX to put a few things in our storage trailer we have there that we have been hauling around with us for the past year and never used. Since Jeremy and Jennifer were still in Rockdale, we picked up our mail and headed to Celina, TX to visit with Duane Jr. and family, a travel day of 350 miles. We spent the rest of Sunday and all day Monday being entertained by our 2 year old twin granddaughters. What a hoot those 2 are!! Needless to say we were worn out after 2 days of playing with and trying to keep up with them. They are 2 of the cutest, smartest and sweetest little girls in world, at least Grandpa thinks so....lol
We left Tuesday morning to head back to Deming, NM, stopping in Van Horn, TX for the night. When we got to El Paso Wednesday, I stopped at the license bureau to get my motorcycle endorsement, I took the safety training the week before. Boy was that place crowded!! 3 hours later I left with everything in place. Got back to the rv park about 4 in the afternoon. The whole trip covered 1900 miles. Thursday it was back to work. We have to work three days in a row to make up for the day we missed last week. After tomorrow things will back to normal for us.
Till next time
Duane and Louise

A trip like that makes you appreciate how BIG Texas is!
OH MY! What a whirlwind trip. You will need a long rest when you get your next day off. The kids are the cutest and getting sooooo big! At least a sad trip ended on a very happy note. Enjoy the ride. Miss you.
Sad for the reason you needed to travel, but glad to got to visit with the family. Hugs to all.
