Every morning I get up with the intention of getting the blogs done and the first thing I know it is 8:00 AM and Butch is up and my day begins. Happened again this AM. The weather is absolutely perfect and the 10 day forecast is full of cookie cutter days. When you take the weather out of the mix we can get on with more fun stuff. The plan tomorrow is to finally go to South Padre Island. It will be the first time down there for us this year. What the hey!! It is usually the first thing we do.
My duties as President of the park association does take up some time but no more than teaching beading, trying to get my walks in and the other usual life stuff like cleaning and laundry etc. To be more precise, I find myself busy. And it is not particularly interesting stuff to other people. So it can be a challenge to come up with something I think will knock your socks off. We have been coming down here for over 20 years. That is hard to believe, even for me. At first it was for a weeks vacation and we stayed in Harlingen which is east of here. Then we stayed in a motel with kitchen for a couple of years. Finally buying an RV and staying in Magnolia Park for 4 weeks until we retired in 2003. So we have pretty well seen and done it all or nearly all. The last few years we have become more involved in the park activities and administration. When this happens to you, weeks can go by where you never leave the park! I know! Heaven forbid! We may reverse the process in the future. I am giving that some serious meditation. But it is very hard to back off. Time changes all things however. It always looms on the horizon and for me it has always been a good thing even if I did not think so at the time. So till the next time I can find some minutes for blogging....
