We -- my significant other, Herc, and I -- are spending the winter in Rio Frio, TX in a campground on the Rio Frio River (the river is as clear as a bathtub). Rio Frio is in the middle of TX in what they call the Hill Country of Texas, 90 miles north of San Antonio. We've been on the road for two years now in our 30-ft. 2006 Cardinal 5th wheel. We're having a ball, enjoying all of outdoors and meeting new people wherever we go. We plan to travel until we can't any more -- we're both exceptionally healthy so far -- then settle into an apartment somewhere with moderate climate. You wouldn't believe the number of fulltime RVers traveling around this country. Anyway, we live a quiet life and live moment to moment and day to day. Time's flying by.

We'll stick in Rio Frio, TX, probably until the first of the year. It's really nice here, although further from shopping than I'd like (ha).

We're going to New Branfels, TX tomorrow, about 140 miles northeast of here, taking the camper for its 1-year warranty checkup -- we have a list of things to fix. We'll spend a couple of nights hooked up at the dealership while they, hopefully, fix everything. Meanwhile, we'll eat out and shop. YES!

The weather's great here so far, 85°F today, 75°F tomorrow -- 50's at night, and almost always sunny. The RV park is starting to fill up with winter visitors. So far we have a couple of great neighbors.

And... Judy sends along a bit of nostalgia for us from "The Land of Sandra Dee." Click here.
