Jan 9^th-10-11-12^th 2011

Saturday night it blew and hailed here…sounded like a herd of buffalo on the roof, and we all worried about our cars parked outside.  On Sunday the 9^th, we went to the same Sacred Heart Church and ate an American Breakfast Buffet at the Panda Bay (Chinese restaurant), then Gary and I went to the movie “True Grit”, and Chuck and Carol to “The Flockers III” movie, & Bonnie and Jerry read their books & etc at our Rockport House.  When we came home I was able to get the most beautiful Sunset photos off our 2 tiered patio verandas.  It had been cloudy all day until about then.  It was surely a treat to see God’s Beauty all around us. 

Monday the 10^th…more windy and cloudy than ever.  We adventured out anyways to the Aransas Wildlife Refuge, which would have been more adventurous if we hadn’t chosen the cold weather conditions.  Too cold for the birds to be out and about and the crocodiles too.  We did see a few cranes and a few rosetta spoonbills (pinkish colored) birds, and lots of deer, both the mule and white tailed deer.  Both had pretty dark eyes…that looked straight at us.

Tuesday the 11^th we scheduled to venture to Victoria to see Mitchell friends, John and Shirley Little, who stay at a campground during the winter months.  They suggested lunch at a new place called Buffalo City (Chinese/American buffet).  Good choice too.  Since it was too cold to do the Goliard Mission near Victoria, we came back to Rockport to do our grocery shopping for 3 meals instead.  Hope to schedule Goliard when the weather gets better.  We have asked the Little’s to join us at Rockport to eat at the Big Fisherman.  Hopefully the same day we take Josh there, excellent seafood, large servings, all the fish or chicken you can eat.  Lesser priced for food and drinks both too.

Wednesday the 12^th…was a work day….laundry and get our supper into the crock pots.  We had repairmen for both the dishwasher and Satellite TV also.  We got a new Dishwasher, and learned about the ins and outs of Satellite…some cords for 3 of the 6 TV’s hooked up inappropriately mostly.   Thursday is planned to tour the U.S. Lexington at Corpus Christi for the 4 krcils and for Gary and I a different adventure to be determined yet….paddleboat tour of the history of Corpus Christi (weather permitting), or other history places to view. 

Josh is to arrive late Friday evening, the plans then are: Kings Ranch at Kingsville, Corpus Christi Museum to view the 3 replicas of the Columbus ships, San Antonio for the Alamo and Riverwalk for Josh and the 4 Krcils…Gary and I shall do San Antonio with Sandy and Wayne.  It appears the weather will be better over the weekend. Josh is driving to Texas instead of flying, so that only leaves him 3.5 days of touring…we all hope to join some of it…our ages determine if we can keep up with his agenda.  As Ever Kay
