John and Carol are in the midst of building their homestead with a colossal garage as Phase 1.
We did a little construction work, enjoyed the company of them and their framily; did a little four-wheeler riding, a little strolling and a lot of laughing.

We heard weather aka snow was forecast so after a couple of weeks we beat feet. We left on Monday and it started snowing on Wednesday. Perfect timing for my southern sensibilities!
We planned to spend a couple days driving south, stopping by my dad's house before arriving back at this place called our house. But then Brenda called. She was going fishing at her nephew's ranch in central Texas. Did we want to stop by? Well hell yeah!
We eased down to Dalhart, TX, spent the night at Corral RV park which we have frequented often when in the area. We arrived in Carbon to meet up with Brenda the next afternoon. We had dinner with her and her sisters at the Texas Land and Cattle Steakhouse in Ranger - a combination auction barn and restaurant. Surprisingly the prices were very reasonable and unsurprisingly the food was good. David got up early to fish the next day and this is the measly catch he came back with.
We had lunch at THE STORE in Carbon and drove the 100 miles to my dad's house. We had dinner with the family at Tater Junction.
And drove home that evening. Home? What is this place called home?
Another Road Trip in the books. Where do we go next?
