Well the campground is suppose to be fully functional for our Labor day guest. That is exciting since its been a long time coming.

This year has certianly has had its ups and downs. With traveling back to Grapevine and not getting in the park as expected to my dad passing in June its been a challange.

At least we are slowly working thru my folks stuff at their house and before we know it our time in Grapevine will be over.

Bill's mom is moving after being in the house she is in for over 40 years. That move will be interesting I am sure but this should be a good move since she is moving next to Bill's sister. However this will require that we get the new place in order too. Some painting and some general repairs. After completing her move we are likely going to load up a van and take stuff to Florida as well as Bill's car. Then we'll fly back to Grapevine to finish our duties here before heading west to see friends we've not seen in a couple years.

Thats about all the news for now.

WOW finally the campground has opened 1/3 of the sites and no cabins.

But its about time we were so tired of the Elks parking lot, although thankful
that we were able to stay in Grapevine for when we were working it was an easy
commute.

We are now right up front in H1 which provided more room for the cars and a coverd
picnic table and no neighbors to the east of us. At least now we can even open the day
shades and let a bit more light in. Love those shades, but sometime it makes it too dark for
me.

We've been very busy between trying to get the park and the sites cleaned and my dad
being in and out of the hospital our time has been split up all across several counties here
in the DFW area.

So we are starting a 10 day shift to easy into June HA HA.

About all the news for now

Well where has the last two months went? Wow seems time just slips away so quickly at times.

Things here in Grapevine were looking good, the lake was receding and it looked like maybe we would be back in the park about the 15th, then we got more rain and the lake rose 5 feet. Lord, whats going on that we just can't catch a break.

We did take a little break from the grueling schedule(roflol) we went to Fort Lauderdale to furnish our house we bought back in October. The trip was very productive and provided a nice break from the DFW activities. However there was no time to take in the beach, but that will happen with time.

Otherwise all is going pretty good, dad is a bit more settled at Prestonwood Court, my son is getting settled in the condo with Riley and wow the weather in the DFW area is in full bloom of spring.

I am going to attached some photos of our place in Florida and our recent move in. Hope you enjoy.

Front view and circular drive which we are debating on how to change, more black top, paver or concrete

Back patio and two large mango trees.

Yep the motor home will fit right there with a few inches to spare. 

Looking North from dock, canal has a wider area for boats to turn around at North end

A boat passing by our small dock that goes down into canal

Hope you enjoyed the outside of our Fort Lauderdale home, now for inside.

Yep, a trip to Home Goods to help furnish the house

Modani makes their delivery, less the living room chair :(

Great place for morning coffee, watching the boats maneuver the canal

Sofa and ottoman made our living room

TV all set with tv stand that can be added to later to make a wall unit

Spare bedroom for now, yep guest wouldn't like that full size air mattress

Bedroom is about done, bedding on platform bed from Modani of Miami
