March 27th Tuesday
Sunny and 80's at 10 AM.....
My brother Dave called and talked to Dan. Dave is an Over The Road Trucker and he wanted to give Dan and update about construction and easy roads to travel. It took 3 calls and I think that Dan has his route planned. It is no fun when you are on the road traveling and having to get into heavy construction, especially on the interstate and then have to sit and wait...We just hung around as the weather was so nice, just sat out and watched the day fly by...
March 28th Wednesday
Up early and took Herbie to Salty Dog to get a bath.. Then stopped at The Donut Palace for 2 fritters and then headed to the Laundromat to wash clothes. Dan went for one last time to Dobbies for a haircut. Came back and got me and then we headed home and waited for the call to pick up Herbie... While we were waiting we got a call from Gene and Linda and told us that Kolby went to Rainbow Bridge.. Just how sad, I don't like to get calls like that.. Herbie and Kolby were best of friends....
Later 8 of us went out for lunch today at Trout Street. 4 of us had Liver and Onions... Yummy! it was good.. As we were in line for the ferry we seen a huge oil rig come down the inter coastal for repair.. Wow we timed that just right.

For dinner we went to Redfish Willies, a new outdoor style eatery on Conn Harbor. Great food and good price.. Yep, we will go back..
The skies were dark and the thunder was rumbling early.. Dan took Herbie out before the rain.. It was just a light rain, but Corpus got a lot... Dan and I went out for Breakfast at the Bakery Cafe and then came back home and Dan finished finding room for everything.. I went and washed rugs and sheets... It was really warm out .. We sat out later in the afternoon and then we went to Pizza Hut for our annual pizza night. Jim and Nancy and Dan and Carolyn from Ransom Road were there also and when we finished our dinner we went and visited with them...
Said our Good Byes and then came home an sat out and enjoyed a few cups of coffee before retiring to our recliners.
Dan got up early and made coffee and took out the garbage and sat out side and watched the morning arise. I did my morning routine, and then Dan made breakfast. We got a call from our good friends Gene and Linda and they want to do something this morning. They came over and we went to Corpus shopping. Went to OLD WORLD and I found some items that I needed and a few that I did not need. Then we went to SPEC's a amazing liquor store.. We bought a bottle of Honey Whiskey.. This is something new that is on the market and oh my is it good.. No, we don't drink alot, we do have a social drink sometimes. Then we went to Jason's Deli for lunch, and I had my all time favorite"THE RUBEN" It was good... Dan had THE YANKEE.. that is his favorite. Then we went to H.E.B. SUPERSTORE grocery store. HEB IS BIG in Texas and they have really good prices. Great competition for Wal-mart. When we got back home the temp was 90 degrees and I was tired. We had a great time with our friends and they decided that they are going to follow us when we leave.. It is always fun to have some one traveling with ya..

April 1st Sunday
We left Southern Oaks at 6:45 am. We waited at the entrance of the park for our friends Linda and Gene, when we seen them coming down the Highway we pulled out and we were on our way. We stopped at Buck-ee's in Wharton and got some coffee and the best cinnamon rolls that I have tasted in a long time.. I looked around the gift shop area and they sure do have alot of stuff. In the fall when we come back thru I will get some of the jewelry that they have.. Bling Bling..
Arrived at Sulphur LA, The campground is really nice and clean and the amenities are great. It is definitely on the list to stop again. A+ Motel and RV park.
Looking forward to another week is ahead of us
