Vista and Visiting

After a long and much needed hiatus BB is back. Though not in black. Far from it in fact. I'm back in bright shining colors and loving life to the max. It's a life that has changed a lot for me over the past few months. That wondrous change has come about because Larry and I are now truly living the RV life. Read More...
Seminole Canyon

I have been so badly bitten by the travel bug, I spent the weekend happily "camped out" in Seminole Canyon State Park. Larry is convinced I have lost my mind. As people would pass us on the road he would mumble, "Yeah, my wife is crazy." Everyone time I saw another RV on the road I would point to it and say, "Look, more crazy people." Read More...
How I Became An RV Convert
01/12/09 03:02 PM
My life has taken an amazing turn the past few weeks. I have been on 3 road trips in the last 30 days. The last one spent in the comfort of our new RV the OverlandTrail Campground & RV Park in Fort Davis, Texas. Yes gentle readers, BB is now an RV camper convert. It was spending several days and nights in the comfort of Moonie's Dutchman travel trailer while attending the 2009 Chili Cook Off in Terlingua that made me a convert to the RV way of life.

The Samhain Sashay

For the past two weeks Moonie and I have been traveling around west Texas, and seeing some of the most beautiful scenery it offers. Some of the scenery we had seen before, and some we hadn't. No matter what the view was, us galavanting girls had tremendous fun watching it. I came back with a ton of pictures and memories that will make me smile for many years to come. The first road trip we took was to Alpine and Marfa to see if the mystery lights would come out and play, and to celebrate Halloween at the annual Halloween Bash at Railroad Blues. We wound up taking a detour to Sonora on our way home to see the Caverns of Sonora. Here are some notes and photos from that first trip. Read More...
Big Bend Balloon Bash
10/09/09 11:12 PM
With a long boring Labor Day Weekend looming ahead of us, I decided to follow Moonie's excellent example, and Sunday morning Larry and I headed to Alpine for the Big Bend Balloon Bash. This little hot air balloon extravaganza has been held every year since 1987. Each morning of the event, weather permitting, a number of hot air balloons rise from the ground and drift up into the sky. This year the thermals weren't very good, and none of the balloons got very high, or far from the lift off area. However, watching those colorful balloons rise as high as they did, and drift as far as some did was an experience I am so glad I decided to try. Read More...
