What a way to Travel (or Not)!!

The winds stayed gusty, but spotty, all night long.  The predicted rains were also spotty, until about 6 or 7:00AM, then the forecasted front came through here with thunder, lightning, a big wind change, and dropping temps.  AC power was lost throughout the entire campground, but we said to ourselves "So What?"  It sure is nice to be high and dry, along with lots of battery power and an AC inverter.  As we cooked breakfast (yes, a hot one today) we couldn't help but think of the one tenter across the campground and remember the years we tented too.  I expect our sons remember some of those days as well.  At 8:00 we started the generator to recharge the batteries and watched the sky brighten.  The worst of the weather was East of us (the way we had planned to go) so we said "Let's extend our stay here in the Dallas area and go shopping." 

What a realization that we can do things like this - we really don't have to be anywhere at any particular time.  What a life!!
