New Year’s Eve

As I said in our last post, both Jim and I slept in getting 13 hours of sleep each….me not waking up till noon!!!  To feel a little productive, we drove to Pleasanton to shop at H.E.B. for our New Year’s Eve dinner.

See……when I young our Slavic family tradition was to eat the humblest meal in the hopes that the coming year would provide better meals and prosperity.  Our humblest meal was dark lentil soup and day-old pumpernickel bread.  So when Jim and I married I continued that tradition although our version of the humblest meal was pinto beans and corn bread. 

Well, life continued on without much improvement or positive change, so I figured a change in the tradition was called for.  So one year I served steak and lobster for Jim and king crab legs for me, usually with a baked potato and a salad. I’m a big believer in the Law of Attraction…what you put out comes back to you.  So if you start your year with the best meal you can afford, then the rest of your year will bring you the same….the best possible. Well, things during that year got better, more prosperous, more pleasant and cheerful. 

So from then on we’ve had the same “top shelf” meal expecting the Universe to bring us the best, and the Universe has responded in kind.  We are fulltime RVers on the road going on eight years….that is the best for us.

So when we went to H.E.B. we bought a rib eye steak and two lobsters for Jim and two king crab legs for me.  We really enjoyed the quality of these H.E.B. products; so good.

We watched a bit of the New Year’s Eve celebrations on TV, but we’re not too into the popular music of today, but we really enjoyed Michael Feinstein’s show and listening to the classics.

We seldom stay up to midnight but went to bed happy nonetheless.  Happy New Year to each of our blog readers.  May this year reflect back to you what you send out to the Universe.  Think positively.

Remember, you are loved.

Off Gate-Back in the Yard

Monday night Mollie and Art messaged us that they were a few hours away, so Jim started putting things away in preparation to leave Tuesday.  They arrived about 7 p.m., retrieved their motorhome from the ranch and set up behind us to share the generator’s power.  Having driven non-stop from Montana to outrun the oncoming storm, they certainly earned a good night’s sleep.  Tuesday morning they drove to Pleasanton to shop and then to pick up their St. Bernard from the local vet’s kennel. 

By noon Jim slowing pulled out as Mollie drove their motorhome in our spot. I continued to track the traffic and quickly handed the iPad to Art and hurriedly jumped into the truck as we drove off waving goodbye. Here is a photo I took of a tree across from where we were parked.  I think it came out pretty well.  The huge security light provides the light on that right side of the photo.

 

 

We continued on to Whitsett and got set up in the Gate Guard Services yard. About 4 p.m. we drove over to Kenedy and visited Jim and Linda Mossman at their gate.

We went to bed about 10 p.m. and I ended up sleeping for 13 straight hours, waking at NOON….NOON….I’ve never before, slept till noon in my entire life!!!  Guess my getting five and six hours a sleep for the last three weeks wasn’t enough though I woke up on my own after that much sleep.

More later.  Remember, you are loved.
