Birthday Happy Hour!!!!


Rockport, Texas
Saltwater Flats RV Resort
Weather Condition; High 73 Low 58, Windy

We’ve been taking care of housekeeping chores. Our friends Bob and Pauline pulled in on Monday. It’s great having our winter family together.

We have a few more people yet to pull in. We’re really looking forward to having everyone here for the winter.

Dawn put together a Happy Hour at the clubhouse for my birthday last night. She went all out and made dips and appetizers for the party.


Yes, I'm now 52. Wow, where has the time gone?

As you can see, I got all dressed up for the party!


Our friend Pauline made a twinkee cake. Boy that was good!

She invited everyone to meet at 4:00 at the club house. We had a good turn out and lots of laughs.

This is everyone singing Happy Birthday.

Thanks Dawn for a great birthday get together.

All Settled In


Rockport, Texas
Saltwater Flats RV Resort
Weather Condition; High 81 Low 68, Sunny

We’re all settled in here in Rockport. Our RV repair man came by on Monday and replaced the propane line to the stove. Dawn was so excited to be able to cook indoors again.

Daryl is a really nice guy and most of our RV friends in Rockport use him for repairs. He is working on an estimate for the repair of the other damage. We’re just glad to have our stove back in working condition.

We have been spending time visiting with our winter friends. We’ve enjoyed a few happy hour’s and played some cards.

We really like the larger sites here at Saltwater Flats. The truck is parked completely off the street. The grass is really nice too.

The owners are slowly getting the club house sit up for winter Texans. Yesterday they installed a counter top with a double burner stove and microwave. They moved the mail boxes to the club house area.  They have bought a dozen card tables with chairs for us to use for cards and get togethers.

Everyone has not made it in yet. Friends Marsha and Jim will be here on Sunday. Bob and Pauline will be arriving on Monday. There are a few others that won’t be arriving until after Thanksgiving.

Winter Home - Rockport,Texas

WOW! We've been busy since we arrived back in Rockport.

We pulled into the park and there were a group of our friends sitting at our site. We tried to back into our site but Oak tree limbs were hanging over too far and they had to be trimmed. Our friends made sure they were trimmed back right away.

We finally got the fiver situated and visited with everyone before getting sit up. It was late afternoon so we did the bare essentials and chilled.

Yesterday morning we hit the floor running. We were to our favorite place for hair cuts. If ever in Rockport and need a hair cut, stop by Visible Cuts (Walk-ins only). Tom or Nga will treat you right. We get the best haircuts there. Visible Cuts, 1940 Hwy 35 North, Rockport,TX.

After hair cuts we stopped by the car wash and scrubbed 2 months of dirt and sap off the truck.

From there we stopped by Wal-Mart and picked up a few supplies.

From there we stopped by Subway for a sandwich.

From there we returned back to the fiver. I pulled out the awning, put out the rope lights and applied a coat of wax on the truck before dark.

This is our site
