This is called Travels with Breck and today he got to do something he enjoys - swimming in the pedernales river! At one point though he got more of the Pedernales than he was counting on - he jumped from below the dam into the lake and disappeared below the surface! He came up wildly looking for the way to get out! Since he was abour 5 feet from the shore he didn't have much trouble. Then we found a spot where he could walk into the river - and he even got to fetch a stick! So all in, by Breck standards, it has been a good day!




Before we went for our picnic lunch at LBJ's ranch on the Pedernales, Scherry and I drove the Willow City Loop in hopes of taking some wildflower pictures. Well, there were no flowers - until we came to a small - and I mean SMALL - patch of bluebonnets we had counted perhaps 15 individusl bluebonnets. No pictures this morning. When we drove the Loop in early May 2007 the flowers were fantastic - we had missed the bluebonnets though and were hoping to catch those this time around. No such luck.




Tonight we are having dinner with Barbara and Roger which will be fun. Here are a couple of pictures of a happy dog.

First trip in the new motorhome

Left about 9:10 this morning headed to Fredericksburg. Was really easy to hook the car up and to unhook it when I got here. I was glad to see it was so easy because I had had some trouble unhooking after bringing the motorhome home from the dealership and I was afraid that I might be cursing the new tow bar! Everything seems to work except for the propane - don't know why it is not working but it is not an absolute necessity on this trip since in this motorhome electricity will run the water heater! In my old one I would have been out of luck as far as hot water goes!

Breck seems to be adjusting well to the new space. He can sit right next to me while I am on the computer so that is an improvement for him. He is sitting with me right now.

Scherry arrives tomorrow. Ane we will hang out with Barbara one day - probably Wednesday.

All for now. Maybe pictures on another day.
