New Friends and Christmas in Livingston (December 9-12)

The wonderful part about our RV lifestyle is that we don’t need to have big plans every day.  In fact, most days we just kick back and enjoy!

Friday night was our dinner out.  We went to Buster McNutty’s again and Pat had a steak and I had beef kabobs.  There was so much that I brought my leftovers home for lunch on Saturday. 

Saturday was the day of the Hometown Christmas celebration in Livingston.  We hooked up with our new friends, Judy and Tom, and headed to the festivities.  They had various food booths and craft booths along one of the streets downtown.  This reminded me of Harvest Homecoming in New Albany but on a smaller scale.  Just about every building is also decorated--what they miss in not having snow, they make up for with decorations.

At 6pm, there was a Christmas parade and every organization, store, and church was represented with floats all lit up with Christmas lights.  For a small town, they really do it up big.  Maybe that is what Texas is all about! After the parade, we headed to Shrimp Boat Manny’s for a light evening supper.  They serve mostly Louisiana Cajun cuisine which was good but a bit spicy for my taste-I think Pat liked it though.  We all had a good time laughing and talking for a few hours.

Sunday we bought a small Christmas tree at Wal-Mart and it is now set up in the RV.  Now it feels a bit more like Christmas!

Yesterday while Pat washed the RV and both vehicles, I cleaned the inside.  Every once in a while we have to do the more mundane tasks and we now have a clean RV on the outside and the inside. The weather has finally warmed up so we should be able to sit outside this afternoon.  The current temperature is 67°!

That’s about it for now.

EASY LIVING!!
