Life is different now. When we have a doctor’s appointment we pack a bag and make arrangements with the neighbors to take care of Annie. Sometimes we don’t get to come right home. Tomorrow is one of those appointments. We’re going in for a checkup, but our collective gut is telling us something is not right. It may be a half hour checkup or it may be the trigger for more work. We’ll keep you posted.
Port Aransas
Can you find the freighter in this picture?
Port Aransas
Made a birding loop around Corpus Christi Bay this morning. Went to Blucher Park in search of the clay colored robin and cassin’s vireo. Continued the loop over the ship channel and out onto Indian Point Park for shorebirds. Time for lunch in Aransas Pass and a ferry ride home to Gulf Waters. We got the clay colored robin and a long billed thrasher. We don’t think we got the cassin’s vireo. We got some blue headed vireos. Couldn’t tell if any of them were actually cassin’s vireos. A fifty-five bird day and we were home for football. This “club stent” sucks. I want to change clubs. It has been over a month since I got my heart jewelry and I’m still an exercise weenie. Can’t get above 90rpm. We’ve got an appointment at the Cardio rehab lab on Monday. We’ll try some supervised exercise and see what they say. Bumper sticker: I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left. Winter Texan RV Park slogan: Where none of the women can get pregnant and all of the men look like they are. The good weather continues. Seventy-five today. Life on the beach.
Morning ritual
Our morning ritual; Judy and I sit in the front chairs, look out the windshield at the pond and have a visit. We can have trouble getting the right people in the right places, though. I think there is a rule about the master sitting in the chair and the dog maybe lying underneath it. Can’t seem to get agreement from all involved that this is the way it should be. Or maybe we all agree how it should be, and we just don’t agree on who the master is.
Weather report
And then again, some of us never tire of the snow. Christmas break for
Casey: … I went skiing with my son and his girlfriend at Purgatory.
I skied with my son for a full day of fresh powder at Wolf Creek.
Went cat skiing at 12,000 feet with my daughter, her boyfriend and a few
other friends.
A friend and I went backcountry skiing above Silverton in the most
incredible scenery you have ever seen.
Took the dogs down by the river in 2 foot of fresh snow and played for
several hours.
Laurie and I enjoyed our fire place on several cold snowy nights with
homemade stew. …
