Living in a Rectangle...The Hookup

 The Rectangle HookUp

First day to hook up in a while, and remember toys when not played with often may be a bit off the game. So things to remember:   1.after winterizing The Rectangle remember to turn off the water connection inside for the washer (we do not have a washer/dryer) or a lot of water will come pouring out and as you are not inside it may, for a while, until you see water pouring out the front door continue to just put out the water….get the picture? Wet, very wet…but it is just water and major cleanup later it is all good.   2.Put LittleRed in gear before unhooking from The Rectangle or you will find yourself jumping into action to help hold it at bay while the other person jumps in and throws on the break and puts it in gear…luckily it was not on a steep incline. After a few moments of OMG all ended well. No-one was pinned between LittleRed and The Rectangle.   3.Remember to put the bottle of Sangria in the freezer or fridge before doing anything else and things will be a better still. Overall, we are loving being in The Rectangle and in a beautiful state park. We laughed a lot too!  We are now in Rockport, Texas heading to happy hour…happy to all.

New Adventures for Easter week 2017

Living in a Rectangle
New Adventures for Easter week 2017
Off to an RV Rally in Rockport, Texas

As with all toys when you have not played with them for a while it takes a few to get back into the groove. The Rectangle is just a big toy headed to Bastrop State Park for the night before going to Rockport. It was a wonderful trip, easy drive and I put down my musings of what I saw.
Green fields, pink buttercups, grey skies, orange/yellow/red wildflowers, brown earth in the fields, rows of corn already up and growing, people leaving churches in their Easter best, new home construction, rusted boon pipe like fences, barbed wire fences, black eyed susan wildflowers, black/brown/red/blond cattle grazing, long horns grazing, raindrops on the windshield, bugs on the windshield, roadsigns showing the way, broke down cars along the road, critters that did not make it to the other side, snake in the road, tin roofs, oil wells, all the burnt trees as the reminder of the devastation the fire left here, new trees coming up to take over the void, state park sign, pull through site, bunny rabbit there to great us. All is well. Happy Easter all. Now to set up…we will see how much we remember or not.
