Hondo,TX - SKP Park

We moved from the Canyon Lake area to Hondo, TX about a week ago. Friends are letting us stay on their lot in the SKP park. We have our name on the list for a lot here and it looks like we should have one by spring 2009. No, we are not giving up our traveling lifestyle. It will give us a place we can come spend some time in the winter and also give us a place we could stay for an extended time if we needed to. We have been taking care of chores around our place and doing spring cleaning. Just because we live in an RV doesn't mean we are on a permanent vacation. We do have our share of spare time, but we keep pretty busy. Yesterday, they had a musical treat for us here in the clubhouse. It started at 11:00 and ended shortly before 5:00, with a break for lunch. As you can see from the pictures that follow, there was a wide variety of musical instruments: guitars, fiddles, mandolins, mountain and hammer dulcimers, harmonica, accordions, keyboard, stand up bass and many singers. Some performers were from the park and others from the surrounding area. The songs ranged from gospel to outright hilarious. Just like traveling, music keeps these folks active and extends their life.
