Lake Whitney RV Community, Whitney, TX - Mar 18-22
This is home for Don & Janet Lewis, a couple we met and became good friends with during our 2 winters at Port Aransas, TX. They issued a standing invitation for us to come by and visit, and we decided to take them up on it. It's a nifty concept: a home base for RVers where the houses are built to accommodate an RV, with covered parking for RV, tow or towed vehicles and even another vehicle or two. Unlike the Co-Ops that we have been considering, these houses are designed to be lived in by the property owner and come in a variety of sizes. We got 2 free nights for listening to a sales pitch, which brought our camping costs down to a reasonable level.
It was great fun seeing Janet & Don. We played a lot of bridge, & Doug learned Hand & Foot (similar to Canasta), Don took us for a boat ride on Lake Whitney, and a good time was had by all. A big "thank you" to Janet, who helped Doug with his quilt, giving him impetus for the last push to complete it.While there we visited a nearby attraction, Homestead Heritage, which is a "traditional crafts village" along the lines of the Shaker & Amish communities. This one is run by Anabaptists, which have similar traditions to Mennonites. They have restored buildings, handmade crafts & furniture items and a delicious bakery, deli & ice cream shop.
