Quiet Week Here

Things have slowed down at the ranch so we are spending lots of time in High Island. Hurricane Ike recovery work continues with power line restoration in full swing, slabs for new houses being poured here on "the hill" and a new drilling rig is punching a hole in the ground NW of town.

Our motorhome is ready to go again but it will have to wait for a week or two. We may make a casino run but really to just sit in the woods and enjoy the scent of pine trees. However we want to finish our kitchen tile job and get started on the porches and patio. I am going to build two small "landings" to replace the bare steps we now have in the front and side and a covered, screened patio in the back where the window blew out of the former #2 spare bedroom, soon to be a spa room. We are waiting for Fall weather for the outslide work but much can be done inside until September. We will book our slot in San Antonio for early December to see the lights on the River Walk and Christmas festivities there.

I cleaned some of the bays in the rig today....not much room was made as we are down to the essentials for "anytime" RV'ers. Tonight Big Brother starts on tee vee...I will see Shari in thirtenn weeks....LOL

That is it from here, I will be spending time catching up on blogs then dinner before the chat room tonight.
