Fri. Feb. 25th 2011, Rockport/Fulton Texas

Join us as we travel North America in our Holiday Rambler Vacationer,

 since August 2006

       TGIF,  (Thank Goodness Its Friday) the weekend is here, now we get a chance to relax. No work for two days right? Well when you are retired its the other way around, more things are happening on the weekends so we are a lot busier doing nothing.

       The typical morning starts off with sunshine and warmth, then it just gets better from there. Coffee, computing the morning news on tv, a walkabout and a couple of bike rides, around the resort then across the street and along Fulton Beach Rd. beside the ocean.

Fulton Beach Rd.

nice house, the open house arrow is pointing out to the ocean

       This is a nice quiet paved road, I am sure could be busy in season, the real hot summer months, this is their winter after all, its only 85f (30c). No boats and no people around their houses, but all the RV resorts are pretty full with us "Winter Texans".

      Back home and now getting hungry, we can smell the Barbeque at the clubhouse cooking up burgers, hotdogs and sausage so we wandered over to treat overselves to lunch. Pretty good deal we got a, cheeseburger with all the fixings, macaroni salad, baked beans and sweet iced tea for $4.00 each.

tasty lunch

       Well now after this need to work off lunch, so a ride about more of the resort checking out more areas and looking for the alligator in the pond. I still have not spotted him, lotsa birds and turtles thou.

       Now back home we got our chairs and books out to sit in the shade and read for a while. Then we began chatting with Jim and Sharon(from Alberta) that pulled in behind us. We met them at Catalina Spa resort in Desert Hot Springs California and had Christmas potluck dinner with them. Rick and Sharon (from Colorado) beside us and John and Diann (from Michigan) that we saw at the Summit resort in Braunfels. Yes its a small world.

Happy hour

       Once we got all our introductions and stories partly told, it started to cool off a bit, so time to break up the party and have supper. I whipped up a light supper of garlic tilapia, rice pilaf and a tossed salad, chat some more then a bit of tv. We could have went to Karaoke at the clubhouse but thought we did enough today.

       Now you see how busy we were today? I blame it on friday, can't wait till monday when we can relax.
