After waiting for the winds to decrease on Monday, we left the Dallas area yesterday and headed for Texarkana. The temperature was in the low 90's on Monday and we woke up to frost on the car on Tuesday morning. What a change! We camped here in early January just after we left Minnesota. This is an Army Corps of Engineers campground. Very quiet and pretty here with a great view of the lake. We spent 2 nights here in January and are doing the same again.
We've been able to have some quiet time as well as do some errands. We've had time to read our Nooks. This is one of the electronic devices that we both have become attached to. Using the Nook enables us to pick out books and download them very easily and not have the space and weight of books to be concerned with. This sounds crazy but it is so easy to read a book without turning pages but just pressing a button. You can put the Nook down and it remembers where you left off when you return to it.
Grandpa noted that when we watch the news on TV here, they refer to this area as Arklatex. The name of this town is Texarkana. Both of these names reference 3 states that are close to here; what are they?
Dang! We missed you guys again. We're in Austin right now and hope to be headed back to Millwood Landing later this week. Hopefully our paths will cross sometime down the road.
