Hello again. Yes it has been two days since my last blog and I promise that won't happen again. Sorry Tess! Well we have spent the last few days in Texas - what a place. Funnily enough I felt as if I was driving through the NT a lot of the time. Only people have more teeth, better manners and bigger hats. "Good church goin' folk round heya" was what I was told when we stopped for fuel. Oh shit, I thought initially. But do you know what, I kind of like it here. People tip their hat at you and hold the door for you and let you go first in the line if you are a lady. I even had someone tell me "Well dang it, aint you the prettiest Oss-tralian lady I ever did meet". Well dang it, how can I NOT love it here. Hee hee. Shano, who is 150% in his element, has spent the whole time yelling "Yeeeeeehaw" at the drop of a bloody big hat and saying how much he loves Texas - "Everything is bigger and faster in Texas, Ma'am". Not even a little teeny weeny bit annoying, let me tell you. I have him almost convinced to hand over his black hat to buy a new one. Oh dear god please. I will keep you posted on that one. Grace has purchased her girls cowgirl hat - a pink one of course. Hayley, Dylan would be hell jealous as she also has new pink boots to match!!! Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaw! On a different note, I figured out Shanos cryptonite last night. And you will NEVER believe what it is..... Geese! Without a word of a lie, he is hell scared of geese. Apparently when he was little (sorry folks he wasn't born at 40 as I have long suspected) he used to get chased by geese and they used to bite his skinny little legs - OOOHHHHH. So, we were at this park last night (which had the most amazing showers and toilets I have to tell you. You know how I love my loos) and they had a pet goose that took a shine to poor Shano. They must be like cats - they know when you hate them. Anyway it followed him around everywhere. He even hid in Big Bertha and the bloody goose waited for him. I tell you the God honest truth. It waited at the front door for him to come out. I was in stitches because I thought Shano was going to cry or snap its neck. I wasn't sure which way it was going to go but I was soooo amused. Anyway eventually I scared it away and I felt a little sad. It was so funny. Ok we have now crossed the border into Louisana and I feel like I have entered a scene from True Blood (that's right Liss). We stopped (quite by accident) at "Karen's Cafe" in the middle of nowhere. It was this bizarre place that had all the windows covered over. Shano pointed out that it was possible it was for the vampires - Oh thanks a lot I thought. Do you even know me at all? I will be obsessing over that til we leave the bloody state. All I need now is for Lon to tell me it looks a little like a scene from Supernatural or Walking Dead (with it does also) and I won't be sleeping for a week with garlic and exorcist spells in hand whilst zombie proofing Big Bertha. Don't worry Hayley, there are quite a lot of people that look like Darryl round these parts.
Ok enough from me so I can finish my laundry in the communal room - one of the downsides of RVing - and have dinner. We are still having the best time and miss you all. Big hugs xxxxx
Farking hilarious! I would pay a shitload of money to see a goose chase Shane.
