Wednesday November 27, 2013, Buda, TX

This morning when we got up the sky was clear.  It was what our friend Alan would call severe clear. The wind was still with us and it was very cold.  I may have figured out the heating system, at least the part that works.  Last night I ran the Aqua hot on electricity with the bedroom thermostat set at 55 and the two space heaters in the front on 65.  Those settings kept us comfortable.

No one came from the shop to take the coach in.  At 9:30 we took the kids for breakfast at McDonald in the nearby Walmart.  The kids had pancakes and ate everything in sight.  Gerri had a breakfast sandwich and I had a breakfast burrito.  Gerri picked up some items while the kids finished eating.

After that we went to the house so that Dana could take Vanessa to a doctor appointment.  Curtis was working on a rain barrel project.  He plans to catch rain water to water the plants around the house.

Brandon finds a geocache.
Brandon and I went out and found some nearby caches.  We found four.  It appears that the next one had washed away when the San Marcos river flooded at the end of October.  The last cache we looked for, we didn't find.
I dropped Brandon at the house and returned to the coach to clean up and pick up some things I needed to scan and copy.  Curtis' scanner wasn't working.  I plan on giving another try at hooking up the printer/scanner in the coach in the morning.

Gerri, Vanessa and Dana prepared the pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving supper.  

 I wrapped the Christmas present we bought for Curtis and Dana. 
Dana fixed chili for supper.  We all ate at different times.  First the kids and then Gerri and I.  Curtis and Dana ate after the corn bread was finished.  Gerri and I sat with them and had some corn bread.  The pies presented a little problem for not being able to bake the cornbread in a timely matter.  The chili and cornbread was very good. 

Today was the first day of Hanukkah and the kids opened presents.

We returned to the coach at 8:30.  Some TV and computer time rounded out the evening.
