Saturday was grey so we went to an indoor flea market and the Home and Garden Show in Corpus Christi with grocery shopping and gas on the way home. ANOTHER cold front came thru with the heavy dark clouds, some rain and plenty of wind. There were a few weather reports of possible tornados but most of the bad stuff went north of us near the Houston area.
Sunday morning brought an absolutely gorgeous day and I met it early with a walk on the beach!
We took a bike ride to town to call Miss Raegan so Gramma Bobbi could wish her a Happy Birthday! Unfortunately, they were not home. I'll send her a Yahoo card and try again on Monday. As the day progressed, the beaches filled up with weekenders and the jetty filled up with fishermen. This jetty goes out into the gulf for 1/2 mile and we dared walk the whole way stepping over fishing tackle and from one giant pink granite square boulder to the next! We watched pelicans, blue heron, seagulls and terns!! 2 large sea turtles and a pod of surf riding dolphins! Just like watching a nature special on TV - - dancing and leaping thru the air on the top of the biggest wave, just like surfers! Ride the waves and then dance back out to pick up another ride!!
Then, when that thrill had settled and we were sitting at the trailer reading, I gave a yelp at Harry and we jumped on the bikes and raced up to the campground building and then up to the 3rd floor to watch this freighter loaded down with a HUGEMONGUS oil rig on it going out the channel to the gulf!! Don't forget to double click on the pictures to enlarge them so you can see them better.
So, now the laundry is done and all my shells are bagged up, the bikes are on the rack and we'll be moving up the coast 72 miles to Port Lavaca in the morning. Again, we've said our Goodbyes. A special goodbye to the fun weekend office lady, CJ from Pennsylvania.
