2008 AND EXCITED WITH THE PURPOSED AGENDA AHEAD OF US

Hello All:

We hope that your beginning days of 2008 are off and running smooth! We spent News Years Eve and New Years Day at our ' Home Park' RAINBOWS END ( an Escapees RV Park) in Livingston, Texas. We enjoyed playing cards with a fellow NOMAD couple, George and Terry Lair, who were there,in route to their period 1 assignment in Southern Texas. Also played with some full time residents of Rainbows End,, The Butz. We all had a great time.

On Wednesday the 2nd we came on down to DAD'S RV PARK (which has a 5 cats paws rating form the Traveling cats) in Victoria, Texas. As we passed through Houston we saw the Home of the Houston Astro's. We managed the traffic and roads really good.

Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm were very sad to leave their new friends, Mary Anne and Charlie Head,, who were so kind to make sure that the TRAVELING CATS behaved themselves and didn't starve or miss their treats while MOM and DAD were off in IOWA enjoying themselves.

On Thurs Judy and I traveled over to PORT LAVACA on the Gulf Coast... it sure was a different view of the Gulf then what we had experienced in Mississippi in early '07. On the way we went pass a HUGH ALCOA plant which reminded us of IOWA a little. lol.

On Friday we have plans to visit San Antonio ( THE ALAMO and THE RiverWalk shops for sure) then if time permits we will attempt to find the outlet mall, that we were told about tonight as we were playing Dominoes with the SNOWBIRDS here at DADS,, 2 couples from IOWA and a couple from Missouri.

Please join us in PRAYING for travels and that THE LORD will guide us in what we will be doing when we arrive in RIO GRANDE, Tex. on Sat through Jan.24th then on to PHARR, TX, for the next 3 weeks.

We also ask that you all remember our friend Terri who is having to help her Grandmother, who recently lost her husband during the Holidays. If any of you have any special prayer request just pass them on and we will add it to our prayer chains and include them in our posts.

Johns New Year Resolution was to try to post on here at least every 3 days and try to add more current pictures of some of the exciting projects and sights as we see and do them;



May you all have a BLESSED 2008 from GODS GRACE.



The Longs-on the road, Judy and John and

The Traveling Cats - Pebbles and Bamm- Bamm
