GO WEST YOUNG MAN

 By

Gypsy Rhapsody

(a 1977 Airstream that is soooo excited about heading west)

After Vannie and Dave left Austin,

they were supposed to head to Louisiana,

but they had a wee roadblock, so they

hung out at the Airstream park in Hillsboro.

Bacon, eggs. waffles...
If I could eat, I'd be the first in line.

Saturday Morning at the Coffee Shop
in downtown Hillsboro...
Overflow Coffee is the spot.
Latte and blueberry scone
YUM

Since V and D didn't get to go to Louisiana, they 
 missed seeing the newest member
of the family...Noah Grant Hill
Noah is V and D's great great nephew.
His sweet sister is Stella.
His parents are Brooke & Michael Hill.
Just will have to do with pictures for now.

Grandson, Vincent, pitched his way to
victory for the win in the championship game..

Granddaughter, Maddie, is an awesome swimmer.
Placed first in the butterfly at her meet.

Grandson, Cooper, finished 11th grade with a bang.
Honor Student
Band...Saxophone and Trumpet
Working part-time after school 

Ok...Ok...Vannie says she knows she is bragging,
but, as the grandmother, that's her job.

You remember I said there was a roadblock.
Well, this was it!
Dave had to have hernia surgery.
He came through with flying colors.
Vannie practically had to chain him to the bed.
He loves doing lots of projects, but it was imperative
that he take it easy.


Soooo, she did let him go to Walmart
and walk around.  Not real exciting,
but he was glad to be released for a little while.


Then after a couple of weeks,
she let him vacuum.
He though he had died and gone to heaven.
It's the little things!!! 

It was finally time for us to GO WEST.
V and D's friend, Douglas Cunningham
met them at church.
He sang with Dave in the choir.
"I'll Fly Away"
First Methodist, Hillsboro
You can see me in the background.
I patiently waited till the singing and sermon was over...
then we loaded up and headed out.


First Stop
Tye, NM
(close to Abilene)
Tye RV Park

Texas is BIG.
When you start driving west...it takes forever.

This is a fishing pond at the Tye RV Park.
They didn't have their poles, but it was
fun to check it out on their morning walk.

Second Stop
Shallow Water, Texas
NW of Lubbock
Richard's RV Park
This picture was taken in the park
looking across the street.  
That golden strip is dust or dirt in the air.
Lots of it
My windows and doors had to be closed.

...but it was a very nice place...I enjoyed the rest.

Tomorrow we will head to New Mexico.
