Ah, Texas. The soft breeze, the blue sky and white clouds above, the Great Blue Herons and Egrets, the blue, blue ocean with its white waves rolling in, and so much more to describe what we see each day. My windows are open and I am enjoying the evening breeze. We are happy here in our RV Park. The Lagoons is what it is called. A very nice, well kept park. It isn’t full yet but December will bring many many “snow birds” south for the winter.
Rockport is on the Intracoastal Waterway. Way out on the far horizon one can almost see land which is part of the long long Padre Island National Seashore which runs from South Padre Island at the Mexican border way up to Galveston. A beautiful strip where there is a wildlife refuge, waterways great for fishing, and beautiful areas for picnics and beach combing and just looking at the view.
George has been fishing everyday. He runs to Walmart every evening for something he either lost or needs: fishing poles and baits. Two good friends, whom we met while work camping in Washington State, spend winters down here as well. They are parked in the same park right now and Bill and George are lovin’ the fishin.’ None on the table yet.
Margaret and I have joined the boys for the afternoon/evening fishing trip. We have packed picnic lunches and hauled lawn chairs along. The sunsets are beautiful. Dophins chase after their supper right in front of us. A big old turtle has surfaced a few times and lots of little fish jump around. We have seen other fishermen try to bring in big red fish. They always get away.
We drove into the woods to view a 1000+ year old Life Oak. You will see its picture.
Come on down!
