Vel's no tell look and Springbreak

Vel likes to play Texas Holdem on Monday nights. She doesn't have a poker face, so she went to play the other night dressed like this. Sounds like she got a few laughs!


Last week we drove down the beach during spring break, just for fun. There definitely were alot of kids!

Lost dog update

We found a home!!!!!! One of our posters worked. It didn't seem like we were going to find the owners, maybe he was dumped here, who knows. But a nice couple from Houston, that were down for the Oysterfest, took him home. They have a 3 year old dog that just lost his buddy, so it seems like a perfect fit!
In researching for a home for him, made me realize how many homeless dogs they have down here! It seems way too many! So sad!
On the lighter side, I made a dice board game. One of our friends down here had showed us his game that he made. So, I made a smaller version of it. Gail and Vel are posing behind it. It's a fun easy game.
The long track in the picture is a sand belt racing track. There are a couple of places down here that have them. We are hoping to see them in action before we leave. Maybe I'll have to bring my sander down next year, or did I sell that?? I'm sure I can find one somewhere if I did. That's Texas entertainment for ya! -M

Lost dog needs a home

Last Wednesday someone found this little guy running around in the RV Park. They brought him up to the office, where no one recognized it. So, they headed back to their rig, driving by me, they said they were just going to let it go again. Well, that's not going to happen with a sucker like me! So, I said hand him to me and I' ll find a home. Luckily one of the gals in the office is fostering him, until we find a home for him. I've been watching the lost and found ads in paper and checking craigs list, but nothing. So , today I made up some flyers and took them to other RV parks in the area. Hopefully someone will want him, he's a sweet lap dog.- M

Holding up the Earth

We went to a new education center in town today. We had a 45 min. presentation on the earth's water, earthquakes, volcanos, and weather. It was very interesting!! This is just a large white ball suspended from the ceiling, but there are 4 projectors shining on it. It looks and circulates just as the astronauts would see it from space.
There are only 79 others in the world. Pretty cool!!!!
