- Finally found someone who has a sense of direction like mine
- A man wandering around with his towel looking for campsite #38
- I was looking for #7
- We were both headed for #21
- "don't tell my wife I got lost" he said
- "don't tell my husband".
- We decided who could tell
- All the trees looked the same to us
- Speaking of which
- I better get out of here and into say something like a Walmart soon
- Keep this up and I am going to turn into something like a birdwatcher
- Noticing the birds a lot these days
- Next thing you know I will be accessorizing with binoculars
- Extremely interesting sewing going on at the old picnic table
- A birthday present I am quite pleased with
- Got to remember to take pictures this time before I hand it over
- Also doing some high level materials testing of some vegan leather I was sent to try out
- Interesting stuff
- So far have dropped things on it
- Sometimes on purpose
- Tried to get the husband to break it
- And pounded it with my hairbrush in a basin of water
- The big road test where I back up the rv over it happens tomorrow
- Invited the man who gets lost to watch
- Doubt if I can count on him to come
- Anyway the results from the state park lab will be released March 13
- Should give me time to do organize the bird poop test
- So far I would say this weird stuff is holding up pretty well
- Oh I just thought of the waterfall
- I actually don't know how to drive the rv
- I have trouble parallel parking the tiny hybrid I drive
- Not to mention backing it into my own driveway at home
- I think people who can back up car into a driveway in less than 47 tries are geniuses
- This is why I am not signed in to drive the rv
- But that is going to happen tomorrow
- It's time my husband said, safety issue
- So I will do it
- Over some vegan leather
- We are moving into site #21
- Those poor trees
- Listen
- Never travel without a seam roll
- Do you know in an emergency you can put it on your knee and iron a seam in a moving vehicle?
- Not when you are driving, particularly if you are backing up
- But seriously works great
- I am roughing it here
- No serger for one thing
- Only one seam ripper
- Squirrels running around on the roof
- Armadillo under the steps
- Birds gone to bed
- Daisy taken over the blankets
- No winter boots
- Just another snowbird in an rv

Barbara- I can visualize it all! Been to Texas in Winter and have the binoculars to prove it.At least the gift of vegan leather is giving you a mission on the trip and provides scientific data! Safe travels and continue sharing.
Love your flypaper posts - can’t wait to hear how the driving goes especially over the “leather” ������
I am looking forward to hearing about the vegan leather. Is is like what we sewed in the 70's for the "wet look"?
I love your posts! Now living in Austin, TX and our weather is crazy 80 degrees one day then 40 degrees the next! Very unusual temps for March. Hope you came prepared but as a sewist you get the layering thing which is the way Texans deal with cold. Enjoy your adventures.
You are not a called a snowbird in
Texas. You are called a "Winter Texan."
I always enjoy your flypaper comments.
Jackie in South Texas, about 2.5 hrs south of you.
