Start of travels 2020

1-20-2020

Well we are back on the road again after a long summer at home. We did accomplish a lot of projects while at home. We converted all the lights in the shop from florescent to LED. This will save a lot on the electric bill and the new bulbs are really bright. We installed electric operators on our two gates, it is really nice to push a button in the car to open and close the gates. We repainted our iron fence across the front of the property and painted our Texas stars. We also got a new bedroom set after visiting many furniture stores.

I built a coal forge and have started to do some blacksmithing. There is a lot to learn when it comes to hammering hot metal.

We left home on the 13th of January and stopped in Schulenburg  Texas, where the we toured the Painted churches in the area. These churches were built by the German and Czeck settlers in the mid 1800's. The Catholic churches were eal fancy while the other were a lot planner.

We arrived here on South Padre Island on the 15th. Our group will all be here by today. Ready to start fishing and relaxing.
