Most RVers belong to one or more travel clubs, which have get-togethers, variously known as "musters" or "rallies." And one of the regular activities featured at these is .....eating! This is at a muster in Bandera of SMART, a military travel club. On an "off day" we drove up the road a few miles to Tarpley, and found a small restaurant with great hamburgers. Here's Meg with her Texas "small" burger!
Bandera, Texas, the Cowboy Capital, is the frequent location for rallies and we made it out to one this spring. A popular eatery, the 11th Street Cowboy Bar, hosts "cook your own steak" night every Wednesday. They provide the fires and the setup of utensils, spices, sides dishes, and drinks; you bring your own steak and cook it.

Mmmm...good! And follow that with a little country music and the Texas Two-Step and you have an evening that's hard to beat!
Meg loves her laptop! I'm not implying that she's addicted to Farmville or WoW, but let's just say that a closed library in a small town is no deterrent when she needs a wi-fi connection. When she says she's going into town to try to get hooked-up, I never worry!Meg's Dad, Carl, was 98 this past January and we took him and his wife to Galveston for a week at a timeshare. We had a relaxing time there together, visiting some of the sights of the old city, and reviewing the damage of Hurricane Ike and the repairs that have been done. It's actually quite wonderful! A unique development was the reclamation of many dead trees into beautiful sculptures. Check them out.
On the way back home we spent a couple of night's with Meg's Niece Vanessa and her family in Deer Park, Texas. She hosted a big family get-together on Sunday, attended by
her nephew "Little Tommy,
Vanessa with her Granddad Carl,
her Brother Thomas and his wife Melody
cousin Teresa and her parents Dana and Johnnie Means.
This was a great opportunity to have many of Meg's family members together in one place and we all had a ball!

Before finishing our trip we stopped by the home of two dear friends, Kaylon and Dick Fenner, who live near Houston; she was one of Meg's bride's maids. We had lunch and chatted away the afternoon before heading on back to our Hill Country hangout. 
Good times!
Good times! One of our proudest moments as a family was on April 15, 2010 when the USA welcomed its newest citizen, Sunny Bruce! She accepted her new certificate from a local district judge and we celebrated together at a local restaurant. Welcome, Sunny!!!
