Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with our large Miller Creek RV Park family. Everyone brings a prepared dish to contribute to the meal, as well as, a nonperishable food item for the local food pantry.


The tables along the wall hold a variety of foods to accompany the 6 turkeys, 6 hams, and two beef briskets provided by the park. The lady standing in the foreground is Judy, one of the RV Park owners.


Roy and another park resident (Ron), took shifts through the night monitoring the temperature for the 12 hours it takes to smoke the beef. They achieved their goal of perfection!


There were lots of desserts to choose from!


The couple to the left are the RV Park's workkamper cooks. Not only did they do an excellent job with the Thanksgiving dinner, but they cook an excellent meal every Wednesday for all to partake of. On the right is Paul, Judy's husband and RV Park co-owner.

Veteran's Day Parade

Blanco held a parade for Veteran's Day. Here are a few glimpses.

A couple of cute spectators!


Here comes the Miller Creek crew! That's Roy to the left holding the banner.


The golf carts are from the Miller Creek RV Park. That's Fran, the office manager, driving the star spangled cart.

Cool car, with a patriotic passenger.


This little cutie was able to trot along the parade route untethered. It was following a group of cowboys and horses, so maybe Mama was up ahead. Waaaaaaaay cute!!!!


Riding a rocket! Now that's an interesting bike!


The sign says it all: Thank-you veterans! Very nice hometown parade!

Pecan Street Brewery

The Pecan Street Brewing Pub & Restaurant in Johnson City had its grand opening August 27th. It is the newest brewery in Hill Country.


As you walk through the front doors, you enter a spacious room with the bar and brewery to the right, and lots and lots of tables. The atmosphere is casual with beer, burgers, and pizza as the main fare. There is free wi-fi, pool, darts, and live music Friday and Saturday nights.


Through the back door of the main restaurant is an attached Quonset Hut where the live music is performed. Food is also served there, but the atmosphere is so laid back that a person could go weekends just for a beer and a show! On Fridays the RV park has planned outings. The diners pictured are from the park. Check out the huge ceiling fan.
