It started out as an ordinary day but quickly turned into one of those days we don't like to have too often. David was up early and already sitting in one of the recliners and sipping on a cup of coffee by the time I got up. We had a leisurely morning then David took off to get his Texas drivers license and get the truck inspected. Shortly after he left I received a phone call from him. His day was off to a horrible start. Before leaving this morning he made certain he had all the necessary papers and such that was needed to obtain his drivers license. Once he arrived at the local DMV he checked again and had everything. When it was his turn he went forward and presented his things to the attendant. His social security card was no where to be found. He knew he had it in his hand right there in the office but now it was missing. After searching everywhere with no luck he was told he would have to drive to the town of Lufkin, TX which is 45 miles north of here and get some paperwork verifying he has a SS card. So off he went. He obtained what was needed then drove back to Livingston. Now he could proceed. Once the lady found out he had previously had a Texas drivers license in the past she said he had made the trip to Lufkin for nothing as they had his record on file. Poor David! OK, so now he has his Texas drivers license once again and the truck has been inspected. While he was out doing all of this I decided to walk to the post office and pick up our mail. I had emailed them a couple of weeks ago and asked they hold our mail rather than forwarding it to us in SC and we would pick it up while here in Livingston. Well.... they claim they never received my request so our mail has not been held at all but instead has been forwarded to the post office we were using in Roebuck, SC before moving to one in Townville, SC. What a mess! I have some meds that were sent out 2 weeks ago that I need and was expecting to pick up today. Oh well. Like I said it was one of those days! This afternoon was better. It was a beautiful day today and aside from a rough start it was a good day. We spent the afternoon geo-caching in the area. We ended up finding more than we bargained for as on the way back to the truck we encountered a big snake. YIKES!!! At first I thought it was a long piece of black rubber and almost reached down to pick it up and toss at David yelling "snake". The joke would have been on me if I had done that because it was a real snake! I could see its beady eyes. David thought it was dead and started to poke it with his cane and it slithered off into the tall grass in a big hurry. I didn't waste any time getting back in the truck! Tomorrow we head to Austin. YEAH!!!!! I can't wait to get back to my favorite city in the entire world. Plus we will get to see Jamie tomorrow too.
we are staying at the Escapees RV park and our site is on the corner of Dreamcatcher and Racoon Valley
Now isn't this a rare site these days? We were geo-caching a site in the Lake Livingston State Park this afternoon and saw a phone booth right there in the park. I can't even recall the last time i saw a phone booth so had to take a photo. How funny!
