Our doings

View from our favorite street
 What have we been doing? A little of this and a little of that! What ever it is, time sure goes fast!
We have taken our bikes to our favorite street and driven down that, along with the marina area.

On the ferry
  We've ridden the Ferry a few times, over to the Island.  Found a good place that has "all you can eat shrimp" on Wednesday nights.  Another place had Fish and Chips Special. But, most of the time we pick  up a Subway and head to the beach, and just kick back and relax.
Neighborhood Party
In our park we are located in a circle, and have quite a few dogs, within that circle. So someone had an idea to have a Dog Circle Party.  So, we did! It was a nice gathering of neighbors, without the dogs.
At  the beach
We also have done a few maintenance things, new shower head, new bathroom faucet, added more support in the closet, added a shelf in a cupboard, among other little things here and there. Always something to keep us busy! 
And today was another beach day! We initially were going to get the kayaks out, but the tide was a little too low. So, we did the next best thing!! Another day in Paradise!-M

The Goat

The RV Park has had a Goat roaming around, the last couple of weeks. She is a very friendly goat, letting you pet her and feed her from a cup. She loves to follow the golf carts around.
Then a couple of days ago, someone in a horse trailer came and took her away. So, we hope she found her owner.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Winter home base


It's been about a month, that we have been back at our Winter Home base.  Time flies!    We have driven down our favorite street several times now.  We love seeing all the birds, in the bay, along this road.

Not sure what we have all done, but is seems like we are keeping busy.  One thing we are trying this year is fishing! We both bought a saltwater/freshwater fishing license, and are trying our hand at it.  So far so good.  We haven't caught any keepers yet, but hopefully soon.  Along with fishing, I enjoy just watching the birds that are around.  The White Pelican's showed up last week, this is one of the areas that they winter at. Such a beautiful bird!

Didn't see Waylon, Willie and the boys

 Yesterday, we went to Fredericksburg and Luckenbach, TX.
I didn't get any pictures of Fredericksburg, but it is a neat little tourist town, with a German theme.  We stopped by the Pie Shoppe and had to pick out a piece each, out of a least 15 different types! All looked good, I ended up with Apple and Vel had a Praline Peach. Both were excellent!!  The town is having a Food and Wine Festival this Saturday and they were getting ready for that.  I bet the town will be packed!

Then we decided to drive down the road to Luchenbach, we've heard that there is not much there.
Well, we heard right!  There is an old post office, with a stage and picnic tables behind it.  There also is a large parking lot.  I guess it gets busy on weedends, different bands come in and play!  Sounds like a good time!  We took the long way home, through beautiful, but dry, Hill Country. (They need rain!!)


 I had to play the song, "Luchenbach Texas" by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, when we got home. Vel just couldn't place it, until she heard it! Yee Haw!!!!-M

Is Waylon or Willie in there??
On the way home, Hill Country
