We only washed clothes and such on Monday went to Mustang Island...rode a Ferry Boat..while sitting in our cars to get to the Island..in the Port Aransas area, drove on a very rugged sandy beach area to view whatever was present...only most amazing site were they blue floating balloon type things...everywhere we went. Bonnie was brave, and curious too, brought one to the car on a paper after trying to investigate is's spongy texture...beautiful blue appearance just made us more than curious to really see it up close...thank goodness no one decided to puntcure the darn thing...it was a 'PORTUGESE MAN OF WAR' and they were literally all over the beach area.
If you google these fishy items...they are poisinous and even when they are dead on the beach. If you puncture them and the fluid inside their beautiful blue body permeat onto your skin...oOh would it be painful. Then we would have to find vinegar or meat tenderizier to realive the exposed area. It makes the red blood sells appear on the outside of your skin...if you have enough of the fluid on your skin you could be so very uncomfortable that a person could go into cardiac arrest. Bonnie has a 'guardian angel'..WE NEVER punctured the darn thing. It was in my face and Bonnie's too...I have a very close picture of it.
Tuesday we had to purchase more groceries..washed more clothes...and read some more watched it rain. Cooked the most delicious Lasagna in the Crock Pot.. We all pigged out actually..with salad and toast too.
Tomorrow (Wed. Jan 5th) is Chuck Krcil's Birthday...so only plan we have is eat at Big Fisherman again. We have to take Josh there..he will pig out on Shrimp. We all ate fish and never tasted anything so tremendous. (we will surprise him with a chocolate cake...hidden in our 2nd refrigerator)....
We must rest up and enjoy the outside sun and air..read aalot more...then pack up for Thurs. Morning early adventure to South Padre Island..Halingen and McAllen TX area to visit more friends...(Shields....Hinton's...DeLanges...) then overnight stay in South Padre Island area..we plan to stay on the beach in a motel. Hope for a Romantic Sunset..view for suppertime. Back to Rockport Friday sometime.. by then we shall need more R & R. As Ever, Kay Shafer
