A short update from Lubbock

We got a lot of visiting done in Albuquerque and some housekeeping.  We were able to see Jan's mom, Viv numerous times while we there and also had some nice times with Nancy and CT.  In fact CT spoiled us with an absolutely gourmet burger dinner experience.  He made and baked brioche rolls, ground the beef and infused it with bacon, and added double fried fries on the side.  Really , really good!

Gourmet baby!

 We also took advantage of being close to Costco, found a very good Vietnamese restaurant, got the coach completely washed and waxed, and did some pre Thanksgiving food buying.  We take advantage of a company in Albuquerque that details RV's, Recapturing Vehicles.  It's a bit expensive, but they do a fantastic job, so we splurge once a year and have them do our coach.  It includes a complete wash and a hand waxing of the entire motorhome.  We find the wax lasts about a year, and every once in awhile we are actually able to keep it clean for more than a day or two after having it done:)  In fact, and now I'm probably jinxing it, the weather is supposed to be nice all the way into Atlanta.  And after they finish we put 2 coats of Mop n Glow on the roof.

We also took a short detour to Amarillo on our way to Lubbock.  We like the Speedco there, so we went over in gale force winds Thursday to spend the night at the Oasis, a nice full service campground with predominately pull-throughs, then first thing in the morning we popped over to Speedco, found no one ahead of us and got our yearly service done.  Oil and filter change, fuel filters, coolant filter, and a complete check of fluids and a chassis lube, it's like a Jiffy Lube for trucks and motorhomes, very convenient, quick, affordable, and they allow you to watch the whole operation.

The business end

So now we are in Lubbock where our daughter, Kelly, her husband Todd, and our grandkids, Faith and Christian live.  We have been visiting a bunch, and anticipating the arrival of Karen, Tom, Walker, Jason, and Viv to join us for Thanksgiving.  So as we enjoy our time together and feel thankful for all we have, I hope each and everyone of you have a pleasant and thankful Thanksgiving!
