Well, we are in Florida again. Since leaving here last year we’ve been to 18 states. It’s been a while since my last post because I was going to close down the blog, but it didn’t seem like the right time yet. So here I am……. :)
It is so good to see my other daughter again. And Jadyn was very happy to see her sister too.
Currently, we are at a place called Wild Horse Rescue helping to gentle the wild rescue mustangs they get to make them ready for adoption. Jadyn really loves it here. They have lots of dogs for her to play with, as well as guinea pigs, a bunny, a couple geese, a duck and a big ol’ hog. She’s back doing her favorite things: feeding horses, playing outside, being with daddy and playing with the little kids that come here.
Here’s Joe and Jadyn saying Hi to the horses and the donkey McBob. And the owner of the ranch Diane with some of her dogs.
This past Friday 20 baby wild horses arrived. Most were adopted out right away and the rest will be gentled and made people friendly. If you know anybody that wants a mustang please contact the website referenced above.
On our way to Florida we had an issue with the RV. Just before we were going to go over a big bridge it started to act like it was running out of gas – even though there was gas in the tank. So we pulled over and Joe got under the RV and wiggled and jiggled things and checked connections under the hood. Couldn’t see anything wrong so he started it back up and it was fine. He was sweating big time though since one of his worse nightmares would be to get stuck up on a bridge. So the next day we start driving and everything is running good, but as we start coming up out of this tunnel the RV does the same thing again.
We barely made it out of the tunnel before the engine died leaving us blocking part of the lane. About 10 minutes later a worker comes by with his truck and runs a strap around the front of the RV and pulls us off the highway onto a side street. Joe does his checks again and finds nothing wrong and it starts up and runs fine. What he thinks the problem was was vapor lock since after he loosened the gas lines it ran again.
That was pretty stressful.
Anyway, before we left Texas we were briefly at a ranch called Everything Jesus (also called EJ Ranch). They have one of the cleanest raw milk dairy barns. They also grow their own food. If you ever get a chance to go to Texas, make this ranch one of your stops. They will serve you some incredibly tasty food – and raw milk, which is sooooo good for you.
They also have a beautiful pecan grove along the Guadalupe River and in this picture you can see a couple of their llamas roaming about (they are good at keeping coyotes away). And some of the pecans we gathered.
While we were still in Dripping Springs Texas (before leaving for EJ Ranch), we experienced not only beautiful sunsets, but the deep freeze. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! Our sewer hose froze and broke as Joe was trying to take it off.
All the water pipes in the area froze. Joe ended up having to siphon water from the big tank at the RV park and reverse the connections on our water pump to pump water into our holding tanks (he’s so smart!). And Jadyn had fun playing in the snow.
Thankfully, we are enjoying the wonderful Florida sunshine and are miles away from the snow. :o)
