Texas Wildflowers (Livingston, Texas)

After leaving Dallas, we made our way to Livingston, Texas, for a weeklong stay at the Rainbow's End RV Park. This is the home base of the RV club we belong to, Escapees, and this is the headquarters for all of the Escapees RV parks across the country. When we are in traveling mode, we make it a point to come by here every 12 to 18 months to check in and take care of business as we make our way to our next stop. Our visit this year coincided with a wonderful bloom of wildflowers, including Lupine (or what the Texans call Bluebonnets), Icelandic Poppies, Phlox, Winecup, and Morning Glories. We captured pictures of some of these wildflowers growing throughout the park on our walk on Easter Day.

What is it they say about those best laid plans? Oh, I remember…they often go awry. I can't say that our plans have often gone awry, but this winter we did have to put aside our trip to the Florida Keys, as Dan wound up having surgery to replace and fuse three levels of vertebrae in his neck. There is a several week recovery period for this type of surgery, most of it just waiting to make sure the fusion is progressing as expected. So, here we are, back in Livingston, Texas, at the Escapees RV Park, waiting to get the doctors blessing before moving on. Since we have been more or less grounded since getting here in November, there hasn't been much new to put on the blog.

We are looking forward to the rest of the year. In the works is a Caribbean cruise, touring the DC area, possibly a return to the North American Vegetarian Society Summerfest in July in Pennsylvania, and some time spent on the east coast. Late summer we will start heading back west, due in Sacramento by September, trying to take in as much as we can along the way.
