1997 Cartwright Family Reunion at Thousand Trails, Lake Tawakoni

Pop and Peggy bought their Thousand Trails membership sometime in the 1990s (I think). They invited the whole family to join them at the Thousand Trails at Lake Tawakoni in August of 1997. Our first visit to a Thousand Trails campground!!! We enjoyed being with family!!!

Funny story from that visit: Peggy had rented trailers for us to stay in (they may have been like the one behind Dwayne, Uncle Tommy, and Uncle Joe in the top picture). What I remember about them was: there was no soap dish, and you couldn't reach the bottom of the shower when you were standing in it. I took the first shower and, of course, almost immediately dropped the soap. That's when it became obvious that I couldn't reach the floor of the shower without getting out of the shower...

A few minutes later Dwayne came back to the trailer and prepared to take his shower. He had just cut the water on when I heard the unmistakable sound of a bar of soap hitting the floor of the shower. I got to laughing as I imagined his finding out what I had determined just a few minutes before - laughing SO hard that the trailer was shaking hard enough that Dwayne asked what was shaking the trailer!!! Our first RVing experience!!!
