Livingston

At the beginning of this year, we registered at Escapees in Livingston, TX. We never stayed at the campground; we only joined because they could provide us with an address, which we needed for the deed of the MH. So finally a year later, we have come back to our home base and are staying here for a number of nights. The rates are very reasonable. We pay only $ 10, 50 per night plus what ever you use in electricity. That is no more then $ 1, 50 per day or so. Last weekend we stayed for a couple of days at Lake Livingston State Park, but that was costing us $ 21, - per night. The weather was pretty bad, so we ended up staying most of the day inside.
We are probably the one of the youngest couples over here, but everybody is ever so friendly. I was sitting near the Laundromat doing some stuff on the computer and people just start talking to you. Of course, I do not want to be rude, but the whole afternoon I did not get to do the stuff that I wanted to do.


Wahid is doing all sort of work around the MH, yesterday he cleaned the roof, took off all the beading and today he resealed the lot. We are still waiting for our part to arrive, but it is taking longer then we anticipated. On Tuesday, somebody will do some of the last work on the MH and the cleaning will start for real. On the 26th, we give the MH the dealer and we move to a hotel for a number of days. We both are very sad about it, but all things must come to an end. We can hardly believe that the year has gone so quickly. We have done so much this year, but we feel that it is still not enough and we should have done more. Wahid has to go back to work on the 2nd of January and he is already assigned a new project. He was hoping to ease in, but as it seems he will have a hard start. As for me, I will give it a couple of weeks and put the house back into order and then I will have to go job hunting.
But for now I am still enjoying the beautiful weather we have over here and reminisce about the past year. This has been in one in a lifetime experience, but there are talks to do this again in the hopefully near future.

We both are sad and a bit tired after all the cleaning and clearing out the Moterhome. Moved into a hotelroom for the last couple of days. This morning we drive the Motorhome to the consignement lot and pick up the rental car. Maybe tomorrow we can start enjoying the last days in the States... I think we both are ready to go home now...
