Back in the Hill Country of Texas

It was good to be back where our roots are: in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. This region stretches from Austin to the west Texas plains, and includes Kerrville, Boerne, Austin and Sattler. One of its many "claims to fame" are the large number of caves and caverns in the area. We spent a night on the way at Inks Lake State Park and visited the Longhorn Caverns nearby. We really enjoy caves and visit as many of them as possible during our travels.

We've joined an RV travel organization, S.M.A.R.T. (Special Military Active and Retired Travel Club) We are from all branches of the military and share a love of travel and RVing. The local and regional organizations have rallies or "musters" frequently in various parts of the country. We made it back to Texas in time to enjoy the Southwest Regional muster in Kerrville for a few days. There was dancing by the fire at night, a golf tournament (Roger actually played!) an auction and an informative tour of the Mooney Aircraft factory in Kerrville.
John Christopher Way and his band from Austin entertained us one evening; great country music! We really enjoyed them and would encourage you to check him out if you enjoy country music at all. We don't usually but this group was fun.
Roger and Meg had lunch with Fay, a friend of Roger's from high school days. We hadn't seen each other in many years. Fun to renew friendships and to learn from each other of our separate but often similar pilgrimages in this life. We thank the Lord often for the many friends who enrich our lives!
