I am glad that the election is over with and life goes on.
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
November 5th Monday
Woke up this morning with dense fog. 71 degrees at 8:00 am. This daylight savings time has got my biological clock all screwed up. Oh well, hopefully I will get adjusted. Today we are having 6 of our Friends come over for a Pot Luck at our site.. Wow, Lee and Linda brought some pulled pork, Carol and John brought a pot of Italian Beef and the best lemon bundt cake that I have tasted with some homemade raspberry sauce. Jim and Pat brought a huge pan of homemade scalloped potatoes..
HOC FRIENDS AT POT LUCK AT OUR LANDMARK
We had a very nice time and of course we had alot of stories to tell and laugh at. We discussed what we were going to do at the Camper Clinic Open house this weekend. We decided that we were going to go on Friday and look at the Heartland Rv's and then have something to eat. Then on Saturday we are going to have a table set up at the show and promote the Heartland Owner Club. Everyone left around 5 PM and then Dan and I cleaned up everything. The evening was nice and Dan sat out and enjoyed the evening.
November 6th Tuesday ~~ Election Day ~~
I was up early 5:15 am and made my cup of tea and had a banana. After Dan was up and came down for his coffee, I went up and showered and got dressed and went and sat outside with Dan and had coffee with him. Nice morning. We are meeting our friends at The Bakery Cafe, for breakfast. Afterwards we went to Corpus to Academy Sports so Dan can get some new shoes (NEW BALANCE). We looked at a smoker and it looks like Dan might end up buying it and keeping it down here in a friends storage locker. He is always has to think about stuff and then when he decides to get it, then it is either off sale or product is gone. He just don't get it. Dan helped our friend Gene get his fishing cart and stuff out of storage. They made plans to go fishing on the North Jetty on Thursday.. Went to Happy Hour and then had dinner and are watching the election returns.. I was tired of watching the returns and went to bed with my good book.. I will find out in the morning who our president is..
November 7th Wednesday
It was 5:45 AM when I got up and it was 55 degrees.. Turned on the TV and found out who our President is... Made my cup of tea, and did my ritual that I do in the morning.
This morning Direct TV will be coming and setting the satellite so we can watch our Direct TV. Ah-ha, we now have Direct Tv along with local channels. I get to watch The Food Channel, and NCIS and other favorites.
Went to get my haircut or should say trimmed and the ladie that I had for the past few years wasn't there. I had a different gal and she did a good job. Happy just to get it done.
Went to Happy Hour and afterwards we went out for dinner with friends. Redfish Willies, opened just before we left in spring. Nice place on the water in Conn Harbor.

Another day that came to a close, it was fun.
November 8th Thursday ~~ Dan Goes Fishing ~~
70 degrees this morning at 6:30 AM. Dan is getting ready to go fishing on the North Jetty. Herbie is going to go to Salty Dogs, for a bath and then a play day. We want him to get use to play days, so when we go on our cruise, he knows that we will be back to get him. Linda and I went on to do some shopping. We went to Jeannie's Beads, Bealls, Wal-mart, a shop in Fulton, lunch at The Lunch Box, in Rockport. Which we should of gone to Apple Dumpling instead or Charlotte Plumbers. Then it was time to pick up Mr. Herbie. They said that he was very good and didn't bark or carry on...
Shortly after, Dan came home and said that it was a great day for fishing, but the fishing wasn't really good. Alot of piggy perch (LOL) and bait thieves. He did enjoy himself and is going back again.
Dan went to Happy Hour and I decided that I was going to stay back today. Well, about 10 minutes after he left, Herbie carried on something terrible. I thought he had to go out, so I let him out. He turned his head and looked toward that area and then looked at me. Well he wanted to go to Happy Hour. So I had to hook him up, grab a bottle of water and take him for a walk down there. I just wonder "who is controlling Who..??
November 9th Friday ~~ Camper Clinic~~
We were up early this morning again. We have a busy day, but had to do laundry.
Dan took Herbie for his morning walk and when he returned we went to the Laundromat to do our laundry. Our friends Mic and Linda were there, finishing up their laundry. We met Mic and Linda when we went on our 1st cruise from Texas. We have been keeping in touch ever since.
After we were done with out laundry, we went to Portland to get our mail, and then went to the grocery for a few things. Headed home, put a few things away and then we had to head out to Rockport to Camper Clinic to meet up with our friends. It was hot out there. We got in line for our lunch of sausage, potato salad, and chips, water, provided by Camper Clinic. Our friends came and then here we seen Jim and Bette McGee from George West. That was a surprise to see them. After we were done we went and walked through some Bighorn and Big Country 5th wheels. They didn't have any Landmarks, but what they had there were new ones we liked what we seen.
After we seen all that we needed to see,10 of us went next door to Los Comales for Mexican dinner.

November 10th Saturday ~~ Camper Clinic~~
It was 77 degrees this morning at 6 AM.. Sun shining and it is suppose to be a windy day. Dan and I are off to Camper Clinic today to promote Heartland and Heartland Owners Club at a RV Show. We were there at 9 AM, Jim and Pat were there and we were setting up our table. Lee arrived with a canopy which helped keep the sun out.
What a Crew .. We were waiting for Heartland Owners,
I had a piece for soft chocolate from Sam Club Vendor that was next to us and
it was melted and it was all over my face.!!
There were alot of people for the free lunch and music, and just lookers at the RV's on the lot. Around 2PM we cleaned up area and called it a day.
After we left Camper Clinic, we went and visited a good friend that we had met on our 1st year in Texas. Dave and his wife Joyce come from Northern Minnesota, and when he got down here he went to the Dr. and found out that he has Cancer. Last year when he got here he had open heart surgery.. Well, he is leaving to go to Houston for his treatments, so we wanted to visit and wish him well. He has a great attitude that he is going to beat this. Just hope that they get him in for treatment soon, so he gets to feeling better..
We all met at 5 PM at The Bakery. After we got back from dinner, Dan and I went to the Clubhouse for the dance that was going on. The 2nd one since we got here. It was John Lee's birthday and they had a cake for him. We stayed until 9 PM, it was a busy day for us and we were tired.

November 11th Sunday ~~ Veteran's Day~~
It was 77 degrees this morning and the wind was blowing. We are going to chill out today.. Nothing planned, I plan on spending time with Mr. Herbie, watching the NASCAR race. Speaking of Nascar... Wow.... Lots of excitement.. Linda and Gene, stopped over and we made plans to go to Mexico after Thanksgiving. Dan fixed one of lawn chairs. It was just a lazy day... We had left overs (Mexican) for dinner. A cold front is to come through tonight.. Just hope that the wind don't follow it. Today was a quiet day.. Which was nice.... Wonder what next week will be like... Hope you all had a nice week.
