Exploring at Tip O’ Texas

Don and I got out and walked around this morning to familiarize ourselves with the park.  I loved that flowers are still blooming!  There are three bushes by our site with these pretty yellow flowers.100_4309

Oh my goodness, this place has a Laundromat!!  Rows of washing machines ($1)100_4323 and just as many dryers (50 cents), on two walls.100_4325

Plenty of counters to fold clothes and rolling baskets. I’m impressed.100_4327

Our street.  There are still lots of vacant sites, but folks have already started arriving.  There will be more every day.100_4357

We had to make a trip to Loew’s to purchase a few items to make our sewer drain the way it needs to.  Saw this in the parking lot and thought of Dave and Darlene Sutton.100_4358

It was a good first day and we met a few more folks.  Still haven’t met one old crump.

Glad to hear that the Q has landed in Texas! We will be praying for you as you prepare for ministry in that area. The lord is blessing as we continue to wait upon Him we are not waiting. We are serving in whatever capacity He gives us the opportunity. The weather here in southern Arizona has been fantastic! :)
