Texas weather has returned to normal once more, or even just a little bit above normal! One thing about the really nasty weather that we Our new church home, Van United Methodist.have been having lately is that it does help us to appreciate the good weather when it returns. We have had one of the coldest and most snowy January's ever and now February is set to be a record cold month, so far. Most years it is well into moving toward spring again by mid-February so we are more than ready!

One of the nice things about once more having a home base is that we have always been pretty regular in church attendance and with no fixed home one has no church home either. It is one of those things which we really didn't miss all that much while fulltime, but now that we are establishing one once more, we find that it is a very good feeling. I have no doubt that by May, when it is time to head out once more, we will be ready. Even though we are certainly enjoying the reestablishment of some ties to the more fixed society, the fact that we live in a community that is inhabited by others who have also been fulltime and even by a number who own a lot but still live in the RV, goes a long way in the direction of helping to keep a foot in both worlds.
