We are on the road

13 years ago

We left home this morning and are now in Van Horn, Texas. Was a long 428 miles and we lost 2 hours. Will be in Fredericksburg tomorrow late afternoon.

This trip we will be traveling all around Texas. I am meeting nanatricia on Tuesday and then we head to the Houston area where I will be visiting with Marilync. Going to see Gabbygirl too and then on the 13th will be going to the get together that Ravencajun organized.

From there we will be going to Waco where we will have dinner with Jaybird who used to post here. She doesn't have a computer at home and where she works won't let her on the KT anymore. She sure does miss everyone.

Also going to Tyler where Vannie is going to have a get together with several of the gals in her area.

On the way home we are going to visit Zipper TX, Tigerlily and Daisy7.

It sure is going to be a wonderful time meeting new friends and revisiting old friends. We sure have a great bunch of gals on the forums.

I'm not a cold lover at all. But, when I lived in California, I loved to drive up to Big Bear Mountain for the sheer beauty of the snow scenes during snow season. Also, loved the Tram that went up the Mountain near Palm Springs, CA. Warmer tempertures on the ground, then up the Tram for a hike in the snow. No driving involved. Just don't go on a "windy" day....the Tram sways and freaks you out. Gayle

Wow, a long way to go in that dust! but backroads are so much more interesting! I figure if you have gas in the tank 'There's no such thing as becoming lost' or in your case 'planned'....TFS! juanital

Private Road Agreement Process

Even if the family lots were divvied up informally, when they were sold, buyers look at things like permits, access, etc before plunking down a chunk of money, especially if a mortgage is involved. Again, our experiences differ. In fact, I am not sure I have ever seen a buyer do their due diligence on their plot. In my experience easements and right of ways that are not recorded are not unusual, I would venture to guess that a significant amount of undeveloped and developed rural land in Kentucky has unrecorded easements and right of ways. It is simply the nature of a somewhat depressed rural area with so much running water. It is not unusual to see one private bridge over a creek with half a dozen plots using that bridge and no one have an official right of way recorded. This even occurs when properties have direct access to public right of ways. Everyone uses the bridge because building your own bridge is expensive, so every once in a while one of the houses will get down there and repair or rebuild it and no one worries about it.

I am really looking forward to meeting you and everyone else that will be at the meet up.
Sounds like you are going to have a great time.
I don't know where you are going in Tyler but I love this tea party restaurant there, they have the cutest store in there. I am trying to remember the name but I am sure anyone in Tyler can tell you. I actually went there to meet up with friends from another forum I was on. The food was great too.

Hi all!!! We are in Fredericksburg where it is Octoberfest this weekend. Going to be here until Wednesday morning. Hopefully the weather will get better. It was cold and very cloudy with some rain on our drive here today.

Terilyn, are you feeling better?? Looking forward to seeing you too.

Becca, I am expecting a great big hug.

Kat, I am hoping to see Jen on the 18th. That is the only day she will be in town while I am there.

It is Willie Nelson who sang "On the Road Again". I love that song.

The rest of you are making me blush. I am just me, nothing special. I am who I am.

Cynic, I am hoping to be in MN in late June or early July. Hopefully it won't be too hot there.

Nita, you are special. You will always be extra special to me.

All, when I was riding my bicycle across the USA, she read between the journal entries... and realized, I needed someone to talk to.

She emailed me her number, and we conversed just about daily the rest of the trip.

Nita, I just hung the picture you had made on the mirror for me. One of the few things I have with my "old name" on it, and I am keeping it. :)

Thanks again, for being YOU!

Funny thing Moni, I was thinking today about when I gave you that placque and I was crying. Those wer special times. I always enjoyed our phone chats. I remember you called me when you reached the Atlantic Ocean and dipped your tire in. Lots of fun times and memories my friend.

Sounds like you'll have lots of fun Nita.Always nice to meet the people you talk to from the different boards.

There was a lady on the quilting forum from England that has a DD that lives in the next town over from me.When she came to the states,we got together,hit the quilt shops and had lunch and a fun day.

Have also met several stitchers from the cross stitch board i frequent.

Have loads of fun Nita,take lots of pictures.
