Fulton Mansion...

This is Fulton Mansion in .... Built by George Fulton. Built in 1877, and the first home in South Texas to have indoor plumbing, gas lighting and central heat. It is 4 stories tall and has weathered many a hurricane. We are leaving Rockport in the morning...soon to be in Onalaska.

Lunch in Shiner Texas

We took a trip to Shiner Texas to go to the brewery where Shiner Bock is made. Here are some of us at lunch. It was a great trip!

Susan & who?

Here is our friend Susan...and who is that man standing next to her??? It couldn't possably be Don...he ALWAYS wears tee shirts! Who is this guy in the flower power shirt?

Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day, the men of the park cooked a meal for the women. They even decorated the club house for us....This is the desert table...yummy good!

The cooks

Here are the cooks, except for Bubba who is taking the picture!

Omlete in a bag

Saturday morning we had 'omlete in a bag' It went very well, everyone had a good time. Thanks Louann

George Strait

See that pretty little Terra Cotta house on the water? That's George Strait's home down here in Rockport. When he is in you can see him at Walmart.

Oysters

Here is an oyster boat unloading its catch. Those sacks are full of them. I don't care for them much, but Bubba loves them...raw or cooked.

White Pelicans

The pelicans are hungry...they are waiting for some fish from the cleaning table...actually the scraps. Today, it is cold! Very cold for here...42, and that's the high.

Fishing Trip

Bubba went on an off shore fishing trip, 35-50 miles off the coast...he caught 5 and lost 3....but somehow didn't bring any fish home. (He says they don't taste so good, I think he just didn't want to clean them) He swears he will never do this again. 6-8 foot waves and 10-12 foot swells....hmmm, thank goodness he doesn't get sea sick.

So Warm...

The Date...Jan 10, 2007

The Temp....72 degrees

The Place...Rockport Texas

PRICELESS!

Our friend Daryl...in shorts!

Another Day in Paradise

We are back in Rockport! It is so
beautiful here. The high temp
today is 68. Just another day in paradise.

The construction begins...

Ok, so the construction started...everything was going fine till the light company dug up the main trunk line of the water to the whole neighborhood...and then cut the cable line....the only thing they didn't hit was the sewer line...Thank goodness! That would have stunk. But today we started to poured the concrete. We will finish up tomorrow and then start hooking up electricity, water and sewer. The external hookups for 2 RV's are in and will be
ready for use as soon as the concrete
has seasoned. Bubba is doing his supervisory job and fussing about how much everything is costing...much more than he planned. But everything will really be nice when it all gets done!

Garage Sale Tree

Bubba had to repent... he was not happy when I found this Christmas tree at a garage sale in Oregon for $5.00. Yes, we had to haul it 2600 miles back to Texas for our daughter. He did admit it was a good deal and it is beautiful. I love it when I'm right!

Oh No!

Oh me, Oh my...the Tillamook ice cream has gone bye bye. The 6 half gallons of Udderly Chocolate we brought home has disappeared! We will sorely miss it. It is a sad day indeed.


You do know who ate most of it?

Fall in Southeast Texas

Fall has finally come to Southeast Texas. We are leaving the RV park here outside of Houston to meet up with our friends Les & Diane...in Canton at First Monday Trades Days.

Rockport

Met up with some old friends in Rockport Texas...It was great seeing everyone!

When we party in Texas

When we party in Texas we do it up right!

San Jacinto Monument

The San Jacinto monument is just across the ship channel from us. The birth place of the Republic of Texas...where the Texicans beat Santa Anna and the Mexicans for Texas independence...after the Alamo and Goliad. Bubba's great-great grandfather was there!

Where we are...

We are in Highlands Texas...east of Houston. This is the RV park we are at...notice Bubba in shorts...today's high 83. The water is the San Jacinto river. Still waiting to close on the property in Onalaska.
