Thousand Trails of Texas/ FMCA Rally - Lake Conroe

Rise & Shine!!!! Another Thousand Trails of Texas/FMCA Rally is to take place this weekend at Lake Conroe. We're all excited to meet once again with the members and friends for lots of fellowship, games and food.

Sun coming up over the Wynn's coach which was parked in front of our coach.

Our Wagon Master, Barbara Spade's RV, displaying our TT/FMCA Banner. We had 26 coaches with 48 members and 2 guests attending our rally. Members attending were Richard & Helen Barnes, Roger & Ernestine Bennett, Don & Barbara Berg, Jimmy & Mary Lou Bolton, Melvin & Helen Carlton, Donna Carpenter, Clarence & Delores Crocker, John & Flo Decker, Eula Faye Dougherty & Bobbie Stuart, Randle & Connie Farrar, Lynda Herndon, Tony & Geri Innocenti, Fred & Lou Kennedy, Les & Diana Kimble, John & Romola Laninga, Ronald & Janis McTee, Paul & Karen Pacior, Smitty & Mary Helen Smith, Barbara Spade, Donald Stallings, Art & Faye Tuley, Sam & Crystel Walker, Jimmie & Joan Watson, John & Mary Nan Wehrung, Tommy & Olga Wood and new members David and Carol Wynn. Also our guests were Robert & Kathy Leachman.

Rich Barnes just coming up from under the table. What were you doing there? Oh yea, he was plugging up a cord to keep the dip that they brought warm.

Fred and Lou Kennedy waiting for everybody to get here and get the party started.

Member Flo coming in and getting their meal tickets.

I would say Tommy & Barbara are talking about her satellite and what she can do to make it easier to set up.

Could Tommy & Barbara be talking about why the lights don't turn on, on their toad. They are not able to hook their toad to their coach because of a minor problem. By the way, they just got a new Bounder coach.

Jimmy & Don enjoying the goodies. No calories.


Don Berg ready to eat even if nobody else is.

Come on in and get your tickets.

Connie, are you taking a picture of me, I also took a picture of you. Do you see it???

Tommy & Bobbie just figured out where Bobbie can get her slide fixed so it can come out next time.

Diana Kimble, I think there is still some food on the table. Hope you get what you're praying for.

We'll get started in a minute. We need a longer rest.

What was I going after??? I guess nothing cause the girls got it all under control.

Having a good time and getting to meet members before happy hour.

Mother and daughter, Eula Faye & Bobbie.

I don't like peas so why didn't you save me some green beans, don't you know anything????

Smitty & Mary Helen enjoying their meal. Some people aren't too picky.

It pays to get first in line, huh Fred???

Announcing!!!!! We are going to celebrate birthdays & anniversaries. Having birthday cake and ice cream.

John Decker and Faye Tuley trying to see who's getting older.

Haha, they are older and we're eating cake and ice cream to prove it.

Come on, we still have plenty.

Yummy, that was good, let's get started with our game.

What's going on here?? I don't remember, did you not get enough Don?

It looks like Connie is at the end of the line. Not to worry there'll be enough calories for you too.

Lynda, Clarence and Delores with their spoon in their mouth.

Tony, Geri and Janis got some ice cream also. Is Tony trying to hide his bowl behind his leg???

I want seconds!!! NOT!!!!!

Don Stallings & Les Kimble played 42 with our guests Robert & Kathy Leachman.

Barbara, Richard & Lynda getting ready for another meal.

Waiting on our meals.


Another Happy Hour.... Don't you see everybody here so HAPPY????



The sheriff only got me once. One dollar for Ronald McDonald.

The sheriff, Crystel, and her little black book where the names of the bad guys get written.

Terry, Manager of Thousand Trails in Conroe. Always gives us the scoop on what's going on or not going on at the park.

Fred Kennedy telling us about FMCA and how Lou is not too happy because they only have a few months before he retires from his duties with FMCA. Sorry Lou but everything has to come to an end. I'm sure that you might get to enjoy it and get used to it. NOT STAYING ON THE ROAD ALL THE TIME!!!!!!

Oh My, I forgot what Tony had to say. Sorry but I'm getting older too and that comes with the territory. I'm sure it was something to do with FMCA also.

Everybody was all ears, I was too, but it went out the other.

We got our Wagon Masters boots. Barbara Spade was Wagon Master and Tommy & Olga (Me) Wood and Donna Carpenter were assistant Wagon Masters.

Our guest members, Robert & Kathy Leachman.

New member Carol Wynn. Unfortunately her husband, David Wynn, had some kind of virus all the time and even before and after the rally so he stayed away for fear of bringing it to our rally. Thank you David. Maybe next time you will get to enjoy our rally.

John, you don't seem to be enjoying the conversation. I'm sorry.

Yes, Smitty, those are the new members.

I'm a little late.

I'm taking David his breakfast.

Donna, Barbara & Romola relaxing for a little while after breakfast. Donna is ready to go to church and Babara and Don are headed home today.

These members came too early for breakfast.


This member came too late for breakfast. I hope there's something left for her to eat.





David Wynn made it for breakfast on Sunday. Didn't stay too long, had to go work. He is not retired yet and when we were going to head on to the south, they were going to head on to the east and north and all the cold weather, with their work. Hope it won't be too long.
