Twin Coves RV Park

Grapevine, Texas: Fall, 2005

We stayed in the DFW area most of the fall 2005. Since we were spending Thanksgiving with Delton’s family we decided to stay a little longer and sing in our Christmas musical at church.


We stayed at the Twin Coves RV Park on the north side of Grapevine Lake. We were close to Trophy Club and close to Memorial Baptist Church. It is a nice little park with only about 40 camp sites. We had a view of the Grapevine Lake and access to some great hiking trails that went from the park to Grapevine Dam – about 8 miles one way.

Joni continued to ride her bike every morning. The park was a great place to ride. The park is in a very nice area of Flower Mound having homes ranging from $800,000 to $1,000,000. Joni enjoyed riding among the beautiful homes, but it made her wish she had a house again. But, once we got on the rode again, she was fine not having a house.
We just had a little set back for while.

We had a few visitors while we were there, but mostly went to visit our friends at their homes. We spent 4 days with Kandy and Val Franklin in Trophy Club during the NASCAR races. RV parks had filled up early due to the races, so we enjoyed a long weekend with our friends in Trophy Club. We parked in front of their house and Joni said she felt like she lived in Trophy Club again. She was pretty happy about being there. After the races were over, we moved back to Twin Coves Park.

During our stay at Twin Coves, we had a cold front move in. Since the temperatures dipped to about 15 degrees, the park shut the water off. It’s not much fun staying in an RV in cold cold weather without water. Soooo, we called our friends, Mary Jane and Dave Mulaski, who live in Trophy Club. They said we could stay with them until the cold snap was over. Again, Joni was so happy to be in Trophy Club. The Mulaski’s actually live on Joni’s old block (before she married Delton) – Meadowbrook Lane. We spent some of our time there playing bridge and making plans for our Florida trip. The Mulaski’s will be taking their motor home to Florida this winter and we will be spending a bunch of time with them.
