Well, we have been stuck here in Lewisville since Sunday as we have been waiting for some important post (mail) which has been sent to us from the UK. It arrived in Texas last week and was misdirected to Jefferson,TX arriving there last Friday,18th March (heaven knows how they sent it to the wrong place!!!) and it was immediately redirected to here in Lewisville. We have been to the post office every day this week but it seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet - tracking it up to last Friday and then silence!! We cannot move on without it so we are biding our time here and filling in our time with shopping trips - too expensive - and enjoying the wonderful weather we are having at the moment. It's very frustrating as we have seen everything we want to see in this area and our planned itinery is in jepardy as we are now 4 days behind schedule!! We may have to curtail our proposed plans and miss something out !! I'm sure Terry will be adding his take on this situation - with his usual wry sense of humour!
We have been doing jobs, like getting the oil changed on the bus, renewing the insurance and some shopping which are quite difficult to find the time to do when you are on the move.
Anyway, the weather is really beautiful and we are in a lovely campground, next to a lake and we have been watching the trees and bushes bud and green up this last week. There was no greenery on the trees at all when we arrived and they are now sprouting catkins and fresh green leaves. The Myrtleberry trees have been in full bloom - wonderful purple blossom but that's dying off now and the leaves are appearing. We have been spider watching - Terry has a fascination with American spiders as they are so varied and some are a lot bigger than English ones. We are looking forward to seeing the bluebonnets when they come out here in Texas - any time now - they are a bit like our bluebells and make huge deep blue carpets of colour.
We will make another trip to the post office tomorrow and keep our fingers crossed the letter comes in.
