Kathi and I helped 2017 roll in lying in bed watching the
celebration at Times Square in New York City. That was plenty of celebration
for us.
We left the Winstar RV Park in Thackerville, OK about one pm
and moved south to avoid some freezing weather coming to Oklahoma in a few
days. We enjoyed our stay at the Winstar World Casino, but it is obviously too
early to move this far north and still avoid the freezing weather. Our goal is
to get to Sunset, UT and have some RV work done. We will try again, probably in
February.
We drove south on I-35 without a home scheduled for the
evening. We are moving back to Cedar Breaks Park on Lake Georgetown today, but
I chose not to drive the 250 miles from Thackerville. Kathi spotted the I-35 RV
Park & Resort in the unincorporated community of Elm Mott, TX, about 10
miles north of Waco.
This RV park is being remodeled. They have just finished
putting in new asphalt roads and the sites will be covered with gravel soon.
Rates are reasonable and the park host is very friendly and accommodating.
Rates are comparable to other RV parks in the area. They have about 200 sites
available. We chose a pull-thru site, so we would not have to unhook our Jeep
for a one-night stay.
Kathi is making black-eyed peas and cabbage, which she does
every New Year’s Day for good luck in the coming year. It must work, because we
mostly have good luck every year. Of course, luck and how you feel about it and
how you feel about how well you are doing depends on your own attitude. I
choose a positive attitude whenever I can.
We awoke this morning to a little sunshine coming in our
windshield and while we were having coffee and reading the news, the sun disappeared.
Now we are experiencing drizzling rain and overcast skies. It will make slow
driving on the way to Lake Georgetown, but at least we only have about 90 miles
to go and cannot check in at the lake until after 2 pm. As I was writing, the
rain stopped and the sun came back out. Maybe we are really having intermittent
sunshine. Where is my weatherman?
I went out to disconnect the utilities this morning and saw
a rainbow to the north. Rainbows are always a cause for joy at our motorhome. More
signs of good things to come this year.

A beautiful sight to see anytime. |
I hope 2017 is happy and prosperous for all my friends and travel
blog readers.
