Home Sweet Home

After six days spent at the Casita Rally in Bandera, Texas, we arrived home Sunday afternoon.  It was a good get-away for us and we are refreshed and ready to continue our daily grind. 

The weather held out for us, although the first two days we were in Bandera it was very cold and windy, the rest of the time the weather was pleasant.  Areas around Bandera    (San Antonio, Hondo, Medina) and south of us (Houston, Port Lavaca, Victoria) were inundated with thunderstorms and flooding.  We have had a few severe thunderstorms in our area yesterday and early today, but they have passed and now blue skies and south Texas humidity prevail! 

We always enjoy going to the Casita Rally's as it gives us an opportunity to visit with those we have met in the past and to meet and make new friends!  It is nice to share "Turtle Tales" with everyone and they in turn shared their stories with us.  In our travels we have gone many miles and sometimes many days without seeing another Casita, so you can imagine our pleasure in being at a rally where there are well over one-hundred Casitas!  Between the seminars and "How To" workshops, and social activities, there is something for everyone!

As always, the dogs were a big attraction at our site!  Everyone who came to visit us ( or we thought they were coming to visit us) had to stop and visit the dogs first!  Princess Penny pretty much takes it all in stride being the once -upon-a-time show dog, but Lacy gets excited and picks up her ball and tries to get someone - anyone- to play ball with her!  At one time she was a shy little girl, but not any more!  And of course the question always comes up "How do you and the dogs all fit in the Casita"?   Or "Where do the dogs sleep"?  (Penny sleeps on the floor and Lacy sleeps in the bed with us) .  But I am sure we are not the only ones that got asked these questions this time around, as there were several Casita owners that came with their really BIG dogs!  (I'm talking Great Dane and Irish Wolfhound!). 

The final tally for the Rally was 143 Casitas and 263 participants! 

Our next Rally will be held next month at the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, TX.  This will be a smaller rally as the RV space is limited, but it should be just as much fun!  Where we go after that depends on Hurricane Season and Jim's heart tune-up.  But we will keep you posted!

Til next time....................enjoy the pictures from the Rally!

 

 

Happy Campers!
