As of 10/22 we were still working out. Wearing us out, but so far we're sticking to it. I'll just be glad when some of the muscles quit hurting. Our temperature here was still in the 90's, with a cool down coming over the weekend. A cool down here is 50's during the night and 70's during the day. Went to town today for a pedicure and a Walmart run.
On 10/25 we met some of Heartland friends (Jim & Pat, John & Carol) at the Bakery Cafe for breakfast. You've probably guessed by now this is a favorite spot for breakfast. It's a very popular resturant in Aransas Pass.
On 10/27 we drove over the the island (Port Aransas) and had lunch with John & Carol. Afterwards we just HAD to go to the different fishing shops. How much fishing stuff can a person own??????
Lee had to report to kayak class on Sunday afternoon 10/28. This class runs through Tuesday. Monday he had to be there with his kayak at 6:15 am. This day included fishing in the am, with class time in the afternoon. Back to class on Tuesday --- also at 6:15 am. Needless to say, he really enjoyed the class and learned a lot........but.........getting up at 5:15 am was NOT an easy task. He caught a mess of fish each day and gave them to a father and son team from Dallas that didn't have a lot of luck.
On the 31st we went to Jim & Pat's in Fulton for "Happy Hour" and dinner with John & Carol. Had a wonderful time. I've got a title for Pat -- The Heartland Story Teller. OH MY GOSH...we all hurt from laughing.......and her stories are true, unblieveable but true about their travels.
November 1st was a BIG DAY for me. I celebrated my 1 year anniversary as a non-smoker!!!!! It was also a big day for John. Because of conversations with Lee about the kayak, he decided he wanted to take a look at them. John, Carol, Lee and I rode over to Corpus Christi (where Lee purchased his).......and yep.....John now owns what a lot of folks call a "banana".
Our Heatland friends (Dan & Karen) arrived in Rockport on the lst, so back to the Bakery Cafe for breakfast. You can tell a lot of winter Texans have arrived. Most of the folks in the cafe are over 60 years old (LOL).
For all you folks who own a camper, PLEASE make sure you have everything connected to surge protectors. You hear how things are BIGGER in Texas......well so are their storms. OMG - I have never heard thunder that loud or lightning that bad. A horrible storm came through on the 3rd. Knocked our power out. We have a surge protector at the main connections, but also throughout our rig so no damage inside or outside. The guy next to us had no protectors (inside or outside).......he lost both of their tvs. Ouch!!
On the 5th we all went to Dan & Karen's for a pot luck dinner. Had a wonderful time. Once again our Story Teller had more tales.
On the 6th Lee and John loaded up their kayaks and went kayak fishing. They had a great time and caught several fish (no keepers). They've already scheduled another trip next week. I will post a picture of John's first Redfish from his new Kayak here for dubbed the Duck,
The Resort has started to fill up with more arriving each day. Friends that we made last year are returning each day. Men's coffee started this past Monday and it is good to see and talk to them about their summer and wher each on did something different. We are going to a open house today at one of the RV dealers and we will set up a booth tomorrow that our Heartland Club members will man. Still working out each day and enjoying it. increasing the time on the treadmill and increasing the reps and weight. Lee gets on the scale every once and a while and is down to 225 lbs. so far.
Til next time.
