Woke up about 3:30 am to heavy rain.  Went back to sleep…Looks like it is going to be a wet day.  Everyone was up by 9am and the promise of snow was in the air.  Lots to do before we leave for El Paso, TX.  The dogs need to have their food cooked, tires need to be checked for pressure, water tank needs to be filled, dogs laundry needs to be cleaned and Ribbit needs gas.  I have to keep reminding myself that this is our life, not a vacation, so I still must do the yucky stuff like cleaning and laundry.   Found a great little diner, Fort Davis Drug Store.  We ate here several times and loved the food and the atmosphere.   By the end of the day it was snowing.  We drove to town to have one last meal at Fort Davis Drug Store and the snow was sticking to the ground when we returned to the LilyPad.

I Love this little town but it is a strange contradiction of styles.  You have beautiful Spanish style homes but only the main street is paved and many of the houses in-between are falling down.   A tiny grocery store but also a health food store that is almost as big.  John and I wondered how many people in this small town really ate health food.  The locals don’t like change but all the residents that have moved from Houston seem to fit right in.  Definitely more trucks than cars.  In any case, this may be where we put down jacks and hook ups for a few years.
