Sunday was literally a day of rest after the big flea market. Not a lot going on other than the ice cream social at 6pm. Monday, I finished up some work after the UPS arrived with some supplies and we took it all to Hondo to the PO. I got a few orders for name tags at the flea market so I got them ready for Happy Hour at 4pm.
Tuesday, not a lot going on. We did go to Hondo for supper at McBees BBQ. They have a special on Tuesdays of two large brisket sandwiches for $5.00, so there are several from the park that go there for BBQ. The Dairy Queen also has a special on Taco Salad and Pizza Hut has a buffet as well. So, for the Escapees, it is eat out on Tuesdays.
Thursday we will pick up the Drews and go to the Hungry Horse Restaurant in Berne, TX for lunch. They really have a nice menu and very good food.
The photos are from a trip down the gulf coast when we were in Rockport, TX. There is a street/road that goes right down the waters edge, some areas they have put in big rocks to keep the road from washing away. The homes are just across the street and have some beautiful views of the Gulf. There are ports of pleasure as well as working boats, fresh fish, shrimp, etc. available all the time along this road. Most of the homes have private fishing piers that go way out in the water. It appears that the water is not very deep until you get quite a ways out.
We drove down to Corpus Christi the first time down and a few days later we drove down and on to Padre Island. The second day the wind was blowing quite hard from the water and the breakers were quite high. More on that in a few days.
Next project here at the Lone Star Corral is Thanksgiving dinner. The park will furnish the turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes and a few other goodies for $3.00 per person and everyone will bring their favorite dish to share with all. It should be an interesting time with lots to eat for a few days, I imagine.
