After Roswell we headed back to Texas, where days are still warm and swimming pools are open into November. In the same weekend Jackson was stung by a scorpion and I was bitten by a venomous spider, lol. Jackson’s sting was at the pool, where a scorpion darted out of the grass at the edge of the fence, stung him, and then dove into the hot tub. Apparently they are attracted to water. And fortunately there are no dangerous scorpions in Texas.

The following day while packing up camp I ventured very slightly into the woods and realized a few hours later that I’d been bitten by a spider. My foot swelled like a balloon from the ankle down and my toes were like sausages. The fang entry points became two little white blisters. Thankfully the swelling went down after two days. Adventure! 😄

We basically never used the outdoor TV for the first year of our travels. But since covid has limited activities, we’ve been so happy for it! We light a campfire and watch movies, shows and streaming outside. We even added a Roku out there. Lately we’ve watched game shows, Halloween Wars, ALF, YouTube and movies including Twister, Jurassic Park, Avatar, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And, of course,…

HALLOWEEN

We had a great Halloween, despite covid. We carved pumpkins, Jackson made a tie-dye shirt, we went on a glow hay ride, and then screamed (well, just me) on a haunted trail.🎃
