Louisiana

Five acres we stayed on in Louisiana

We pulled in to our friends house in Homer Louisiana  on Monday October 3rd. Our jacks for the fifth wheel beat us there . Charlie got started putting them on. We found the brackets were a little different so had to buy a small grinder to help with the installation. We finally got them on and working and boy did it feel good to get unhooked from the truck. We were able to go to the store and look around to see what we could see. Our friends Maryland and Gilbert we met last year in Deming New Mexico and they spent part of the winter in Alamo too. They had bought a home on 5 acres and were working on fixing it up. They had electric , sewer, and water hookup for us so it was nice. Gilbert had a critter working over his lawn thinking it was armadillo. He got a trap and the next day he found a opossum in it .He sprayed it with a little green paint  to see if it would come back .It didn’t come back but another one came to his trap. It was fun to see what was going to be there next.



There neighbor had some goats and they were so cute. They had collars on and bells on there collars .


Lake Claiborne
Lake Claiborne

We went to lake Claiborne it was about 8 miles down the road from them. The water was pretty low they were draining the lake to fix the walls. There are a lot of homes on the lake it is a pretty lake. Northern  Louisiana  is pretty dry. We were there for a week our internet roamed on another tower and was very slow. We had a nice visit and headed to find a park for the winter. We are now in Beaumont Texas looked at a few here. We think we found one in Lake Charles Louisiana headed there tomorrow. Our grandson and future daughter-in-law got their first deer and our boys got theirs too. So proud of them all.


More to come Ginny
