Small World, All Over Again…and Again

Returning from a trip to the dumpster on Saturday morning, Bob saw a familiar name outside of a motorhome.  It was fellow Nomads, John and Eileen, with whom we worked last year in California.  They had pulled in the evening before and are parked only 4 sites away.  We spent some time at their place late in the morning and continued catching up over lunch at a nearby family restaurant.  A person might think we are off on our own, being away from home, without knowing anyone – NOT SO.  Disney was right, it really is a “Small World”.

Together, we all went to Sunday evening’s Ice Cream Social.  As newcomers to that weekly gathering, we were asked to introduce ourselves.  We both mentioned our Nomads connections and learned of yet another Nomads couple in the room – someone else to get to meet and chat with.

Today we are heading out to Dallas.  We have what are called “Day/Night Shades” on 7 windows in our motorhome.  They have strings in them that break – too often for our liking!  Re-stringing them is similar to wallpapering for a marriage (stress producing)!  We are going to a company that makes day/night shades that are on rollers.  The testimonies we’ve seen are very good so we’re planning on having our shades replaced with these this week.  This company has camping on site for customers so we’ll be there this week.  We need to get our taxes done and get the car windshield fixed as it has a ding in it.  Also, there is TV in Dallas – we’ve been without TV in Livingston, TX!!!
