Family, Flea Markets, and Friends Old and New

We can't come across I-10 and not stop at least a couple of nights in the Houston area. We have two nephews living in the area, one on the north side and one on the south side. We've met new RV friends who live north of Houston, and I used to live in southwest Houston back in the late 1980's. 

Our campsite was at Traders Village, a weekend-only flea market on the northwestish side of town. It was reasonably priced, had decent ratings, 24 hour security, and was not too far north for when we continued our journey west. We found it interesting to see the traffic over the weekend. Our nephews didn't necessarily enjoy it as they waited in line to get to us.

While in the area, we took the opportunity to enjoy a meal with Buck and Avah. Two RV friends we met about a year ago in Indiana at my cousin Steve's. We were both moochdocking at the RV lot. We finished our meal and headed to Humble Pies to continue our conversation. Humble Pies doesn't have a website, or I'd definitely be posting the link with a five-star plus review. If you're ever in Humble, TX, go for pie!

Much to my surprise, I recognized one of the names of the ministry leaders at Tallowood Baptist Church, where I attended all those years ago. We took the opportunity to touch base with Allyson prior to the service. Wow, has the church grown over the years. 

We just missed the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. It started two days after we left. Maybe we'll catch it on another visit to the area. There's plenty to do and see - besides the flea market!

Welcome to Texas - see the snake?

Everybody say "Hi, Steve."
