The aftermath continues Today is Sunday, February 20th. Wow! I just realized 8 more days and we will be in March already!! I hope we are both leaving the cold weather behind us and it will be smooth sailing from here on out!! Please!! 🤞🙏 When I last wrote, I had one more evening to get through with below freezing temperatures . Well of course, my propane tank decided to go empty at 11:30 p.m. ( I was still up)….
(The date that is posted is off by a day and I’m still trying to figure out how to correct that!!) When we last left off, I was worried whether I would be able to disconnect my outdoor sewer system in time to move sites. Since today, Thursday, is the day I need to change sites, I had to have my system thawed and disconnected. Well, I made it! 😬 Yesterday afternoon it warmed up enough that I could finally…
When we last left off, I was going into a cold night with high winds and some sleet. I want to continue with the story and share some photos of what the aftermath looked like. I was able to stay nice and warm through the evening, even with the winds blowing and periodically shaking the RV with their intensity. I have an electric space heater for the bedroom and I actually had to turn it down! Of course I have…
Happy Valentine’s day!! I am currently at Lake Corpus Christi State Park about 30 miles north of Corpus Christi, Texas. I knew cold weather was coming, so I wanted to get a site with hookups. I was able to get reservations at this state park. I will have to site – hop, but I will have water and electricity and at some of the sites, sewer hookup. As long as I have water and electricity I can get through the…
History and Haunted!! I was told by more than one person, that if I was in Port Aransas I needed to go to the Tarpon Inn. Today was the day I decided to do that , so I dressed up a bit. It has a lot of history and stories of being haunted, so it was a fun trip!! The History Like a lot of the old buildings in this area, the Tarpon Inn had many lives. It initially was…
Well here I am, on the first day of February! I’m not sure whether I can claim being busy or just plain unmotivated and lazy as to why I haven’t sat down and posted more recently!! 😬 I think the beach definitely slows your pace in a positive way!! During the last post I shared my spot on the beach and how quickly the weather changes. I have to say it changes faster here on the Gulf than it does…
The Final Details Finally!! Repairs are finished! It’s been so long, I had to reread where my last report left off. And it has been quite a journey of more ups and downs. But the axle finally came in and pretty well on time!! So, the same day it came in, I went in and spoke to Robert about what I could expect from the repair schedule in the next coming days. (He is the co-owner of the company, and…
While Finding old Churches in Downtown Corpus Christi. What can I say??!! The police here must be drawn to my magnetic personality! 🤔😂 Because this is the third one I’ve met now since I’ve been here. I don’t remember if I told you about the patrol that came up to me on the beach because I did not have a pass to park my car on the beach. I thought it was for overnight parking only, but nope it’s for…
Vertigo, Chicot State Park, Wildlife areas, Orphan Train It was encouraging to hear that some of you noticed I did not post any information for a two week period in November. Well, I am going to provide that information now, because there are some things I really want to share…So here we go… Part A: Chicot State Park I’m back here, because I had made reservations here before I even left Wisconsin. And it worked out well for me to…
Del Air Co. RV I last left off with the RV being towed to Del Air and I was going to sleep in the parking lot! They did an initial assessment the next day, and began a plan of repair. Because this happened between Christmas and New Year’s, it was difficult to get much done. But to their credit, things did get ordered. Because it was possible that I may need a new axle, I stayed at Staybridge Suites and…
