#263- Don't Like Leaving Our Oasis

2 Nights Away

We left Goliad State Park today. It was a ridiculous amount of work, prepping the neglected trailer, for just 2 nights away. But so worth it.

Luckily Texas has been wet, so we could enjoy a fire. Staring at a fire is hypnotic and soothing and wonderful. Everyone should have some kind of flame to watch during these pandemic holidays.

Calming Walk

Our campsite was just a 2 minute walk to the Mission. Every December, the state park decorates with lights. On a weeknight, there was no one there, but us.

It was peaceful and a little eerie, walking towards the Spanish Colonial church on our first balmy night.

History
​
​
After heading up the glowing path, we found the church lit with spotlights.

We circled the exterior, looking at all the shadows. Most of the images related to the history of the area, with ranching, missionaries and Native Americans.

Now and then we would hear a cow or two in the distance. There must still be still ranches in the area. We also heard the church bells from the mission up the road.

Presidio La Bahia

In the day, we walked up the road to this chapel and fort. That's the bell we heard from our campsite. The renovated site is lovely, but the history is pretty horrific.
Picture
Nearly 450 from the Texian Army of the Republic of Texas, were killed by the Mexican Army here. We were glad to be camping near the other mission!

Our Oasis

I will always remember our escape to Goliad, during the pandemic.

So thankful we had 2 nights away from TV and all the reminders of covid and election chaos!

    Cancer, Covid
    & Coronary...


    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done.

    On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021.

    CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C".

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent!  I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post!

    ​Navigating This Mess!

    The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016.
