Where are we today ?
clic a pic to enlarge it
Lotsa heavy rain overnight and still going pretty steady this morning. Large puddles everywhere no long walkabouts in the rain today. The pool is full to the top, lake level is up and the ponds that were almost dry filling up again.When we are in this area and having storms we like to set up our tv antenna to keep and eye on local weather, they have amazing storm coverage. Now the bonus while taking in the local channels here is we get some tv we don't normally get and some of the old TV shows that we used to watch so many years ago. Mostly westerns, (mostly black and white) with their settings that look mostly like the southwest desert and old western towns, no wonder we feel so at home there and love the desert. Shows like Paladan (Have gun will Travel), Gunsmoke, Maverick, Wanted : Dead or Alive, Bonanza, Raw Hide, The High Chaparral, Grizzly Adams, and more, we remember all theses shows, guess we are older than dirt.
After a few groceries and a light lunch I took a drive around the campground just because I could too wet and rainy to walk and only 52F (11C)

We have been there now 3 times over the years, such a wonderful place to visit when in the area. You can check out that posting HERE if you wish lots of real nice pictures.
I did get a nice walkabout this afternoon between rain drops to have a game of pool with Me, and guess what I am not a great pool player at all but heck I beat me! No matter I had fun for a while trying to hit that white ball around the table. Sure glad nobody there to laugh at me.!

| balls racked and I ready to go |
Then at 3 pm we headed on over to Bill and Patys's for our last Happy hour together here. We will see them on down the road in a few days again.
In their house today, not a great day for sitting outside with the cool temps and rain.

Where have we been this winter ?
Had Shrimp myself tonight. Shrimp Alfredo. Love it. Rain all day for the drive from Haskell to Canton Texas, south of you. |Love the over the air antennae in the US. No need for satellite.
ReplyDeleteShrimp Alfredo another favourite of ours as well. You are making good time as well ,travel safe.
DeleteWe enjoy the OTA tv shows here as well, most places we stop.
Quite the rainy day. Glad you got things done and even had a happy hour. Hope the rain lets up soon.
ReplyDeleteIt was a real rainy day for sure. Soon will let up.
DeleteBy the looks of your pictures you certainly did get a lot of rain there. Quite a difference in the pond. Nice to have a Happy Hour with Patsy, Bill and Clemson. Hope the sun comes out tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYes we did get lotsa rain and a nice HH with these guys before they head on out. Hoping for sunshine.
DeleteLooks like the birds have had enough rain too. They are trying to find a high place to sit.
ReplyDeleteHope your weather improves. You had great company to share HH with at least.
The birds all lined up like a shooting gallery and we did have a nice HH.
DeleteWhen there, I had a couple days of table tennis with me. It's called practice George..ha. We have had lots of rain here as well. Take care.. Ron Loree &: Fred
ReplyDeletePractice is good, especially here on a rainy day.
DeleteHope you guys keep warm and dry.
It does look pretty damp around the edges. NO MORE RAIN!!
ReplyDeleteIn my younger days, I used to play lots of pool. I would lose, my roommate would kick butt and win all the money from the guys who thought we couldn't play. It was a fun game.
It is very damp, and I agree no more rain !
DeleteIt os a fun game I never played a lot but did win a couple of times.
Looks like everything is about to flood, can't believe the pool! Glad you were able to get a game of pool in..you are too funny! Happy hour was nice for you all, great picture of you all! Enjoy! Your dinner looked yummy!
ReplyDeleteGood thing the rain stopped when it did .
DeleteOur HH was nice before they hit the road again, we will catch up with them again next week for a day our 2.
Sure wish you could send some of that rain out this way. I love our sunny days but everything is so dry and thirsty.
ReplyDeleteWish we could send them that way too, think we have had enough for now.
DeleteNo rain here, but it was an overcast, kind of crummy looking day. Made Fettuccine with homemade meatballs and pasta sauce. The meatballs never come out totally round by doing them in the frying pan, so Googled what others do to keep them round. Some suggest to bake them, others say to boil in tomato sauce or broth, or deep fry them. Never mind the shape, they tasted good. How do you prepare them? Always nice to see all the pictures you take of the area.
ReplyDeleteI have not made meat balls for a long time, but just fry them in a fry pan, as long as they taste good that is the main thing Always a good meal.
DeleteIt is a nice area to hang out even with the cloudy skies and rain.
Looks like a good day for some of your famous chicken soup!
ReplyDeleteJeff, I finished off the last bowl of soup for lunch, now for a pot of Ham and Bean soup today
DeleteYep, that is sure a lot of rain. Hope the sun shines soon for you.

Not raining today yet, and we made get a bit of sunshine this week, hopefully .
DeleteLooks like a great day, even in the rain. Doesn't take long for water to accumulate here. Hope you stay dry!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the last few days there.
It was a very good day, and with all that rain it added up soon.
DeleteThanks we will enjoy the rest of our time here.
I can hit the que ball, but what happens after that is a complete mystery! Dinner looks awesome! Hope you dry out soon...
ReplyDeleteThat's about the way I play pool as well Peter.
DeleteDinner was wonderful thanks.
What were you going to do if you lost to yourself playing pool? :cD
ReplyDeleteLOL... not possible !
