The Floating Animal Parade


Monday April 19, it rained last night...picnic anyone? 

 You get your coffee...I’ll get the kayaks.


Nice clean water ..as we float down the Rio Grande through the San Vicente Canyon

Ahhh..everyone is having babies...when we went by baby got a little nervous and started nursing (sorry unable to post videos...blogging 102)

Taking a break to beat John at backgammon.  

Floating duck..I know I am digging yes, ..but actually we have seen so few ducks here at Big Bend.

Still waiting for John

Swim break...only 2 legged animals

Look closely...the question is...how on earth did those turtles climb up that branch!

Cows like the river too.

So nice and clean, no trash, no trash anywhere in Texas.

Well you will just have to trust us...when we were returning a Great Blue Heron was on the shore...I thought it was a big stick (John thought the same) when we got closer he flew off and I didn’t have my camera ready.  So he counts in the parade.

 

We decided to leave at 4 in the afternoon and drive to the Judge Roy Bean Museum..I know...very exciting!!! We stayed the night there to save a day for the Air Museum in San Antonio. Every wife’s dream vacation...lucky me🍀

Lynne if your out there I could use some help!!!!  Just as any other Fitzmaurice adventure this one has already begun and we have not left the driveway.  Where do I start, we really wanted to go to Church, the wind, Carson and John catching the motorhome heater on fire, canceling and making 6 new reservations because we are delayed a day and the best reasons, it is the Senior Olympics!!!  Our friends the Rowers host an annual event with our “Adorables” group, (a label given by young people of folks over  60 having dinner in Poway Park ) many events, medals and plenty of competition!  We are going for the GOLD instead of being blown off I-8 .   Oh, so where are we going…to North Carolina taking a few weeks to get there stopping in Savannah and Charleston for a few days and heading to our dau...

Does it really matter

 Really, I am not going to change it or try and fix it, that would require sending another link and confusing everyone especially me!  So the name of the Blog was suppose to be “Heads Carolina, tails California and then you have a title for each post.  Well I wondered where the “one mile at a time aka you never know when you’ll breakdown”came from.  Apparently I opened up an existing blog and just added to it,  well, that title could be any of our trips so it is staying!  Now I am really going to bed, we plan on leaving around 8 am tomorrow Monday March 9.  I downloaded the APP so I hope that helps, I see I am having difficulty with picture placement…by the end of August I should have it down! We did it, we left at 8:30, no wind, a little rain on the 8 and smooth sailing into Yuma for our $3.49 gas (high for AZ) Buddy is well taken care of by neighbor Bill and the various other dogs than run in our hood.   Our entertainment included our book “The ...

Did someone say Friday the 13th?

​where to start…  Gas buddy directed us to a gas station in Abilene, Texas that was $3.15 a gallon just off the freeway and there was a Walmart perfect! We need yogurt creamer, and M&Ms💕 it all seemed perfect, especially when we saw the Brahms ice cream store over the hood of this guy‘s truck,(for those of you not familiar with Brahms ice cream, It is the best but it’s only in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and may be a handful of othet state states.) then we noticed the sign that they were out of unleaded gas🥲 we went in anyways and got our three items in a store that we don’t think anyone looked happy glad to be out and over to Brahms John got a sundae I didn’t feel like ice cream I got a fry. It was OK. GasBuddy leads us to another gas station for $3.49 it was supposed to be $3.19 and everywhere else in Abilene is 3.19. we’re in a motorhome at 7 miles a gallon a few blocks we find the $3.15  gas, perfect! Back on the road on the 20 east and a new book we finished the widow a...
