Home Sweet Home

Oh..there it is!


No porch!


We left Texas just after noon on Wednesday, March 17, 2010. After an uneventful trip with good weather we arrived home about 8:30 pm, Sunday, March 21, 2010.
Our total trip in all was about 5958 kms. (3724 mi.).
There was very little snow left at home but the lake was still frozen.

You can see the dam in the background.


Can you see the Geocache here?




Robert & I took off on our road trip to New Braunfels which was about a four hour drive from Rockport.It was getting into Hill Country and very scenic. We stayed in a small motel for 2 nights and paid $39.99 plus tax a night. Pretty cheap accommodation. We managed to find a total of 15 caches. We spent a day driving around Canyon Lake. There is a huge dam there which controls the water flow into the lower Guadalupe River.

Jim & Carol's last night

Jerry needed something to split his firewood so Robert & I gave him this axe we had found while out Geocaching.

We're enjoying ourselves at Jackie and Rogers trailer.

Jim & Carol are heading back to North Carolina in the morning so we all got together and enjoyed a couple of drinks and snacks.

Bill & Barb's Turducken






Bill & Barb cooked a Turducken. It is a boneless turkey, stuffed with a duck, then a chicken, and then stuffing. Everyone brought side dishes and we enjoyed yet another great meal with friends.

Oysterfest Sculpture Contest

Don with his oysterfish and his 1st prize trophy.


Hilary, Susie, Jackie & Marilyn with our trophies.

Collecting my trophy!




Robert and I made this sculpture for the contest at Oysterfest. Of course it is made with oyster shells. I don't think the Texans knew that it was our Canadian flag. We won 6th prize and the Sandollar lighthouse wind-chime that I made with the girls won 4th prize. Our neighbour behind us here made an oysterfish and was the 1st prize winner. The Sandollar really did well with 3 prizes out of 6.
