Livingston, TX Our new domicile

Wednesday April 2^nd, 2014
Today was the day that we were going to pull out about 1 pm and start our new adventure on the road.

Best laid plans and all of that, the awning over the slide-out would not retract.  A visit to Ace hardware for repair parts had us fixed up, but we were late leaving.  Did not pull out until about 4:00PM.  Of course, that made our destination arrival time after dark.  Narrow, blacktop roads and rain.  Tic was driving 50 where the speed limit was 70, just to be cautious.  Fortunately, there was not much traffic.   Safe arrival and our hosts had left clear directions for us to get parked.

This is the very well-marked entry sign to the Escapees RV Park in Livingston, TX.  This is where our new domicile address is located.

 Our first official day as full-time RVers.  We got up early and got the coach weighed and height measured.  We need to lose about 500 lbs from the front end.  I suppose Tic and I could get out.

Actually it was suggested that we only carry about 1/3 a tank of fresh water and that would fix the problem. 

We were anxious to actually see where our address was, physically, you know, geographically.  Can we actually see it?  Yes!

We are located behind this building.  This is Escapees headquarters!

We decided to walk the grounds of the complex.  BIG place!

This beautiful azalea bush was in someone's front yard.  Some people have permanent lots. 

We had a really nice parking spot.  We were right across the street from the shower and laundry facilities.  

We saw the quilting club having their get together on Thursday morning.

On Thursday afternoon we listened to a bluegrass band at the Care Center.

In the morning, we went in town and changed our driver's licenses to have our new address. That afternoon Dusty got ambitious and washed the whole coach and then cleaned the windows.  This gives a whole new meaning to "house cleaning".

Friday evening they showed the movie Saving Mr. Banks.  Dusty had been wanting to see this movie so it was neat to see it for free.  They even served popcorn and goodies at no cost.
