December 10th Monday Windy
Dan went for coffee with the boys. Today doesn't seem as though it was busy day. Dan decided that we needed a new kitchen facuet. So off to Lowe's he went and now we have a new kitchen facuet and great water pressure.
December 11th Tuesday
Breakfast time with the Heartlander's.... Yes they wanted to go for breakfast again.
December 12th Wednesday ~~ Leave For The Valley ~~
Gene and Linda was here at 7:30 and we left for Salty Dog's to board Herbie and Marcy while we went to The Valley and then on to Mexico. We had an 8 am appointment and then we headed down to the Valley. We stopped in Kingsville at Big House Brunch (formerly Gem's) (the 1st Kingsville exit) for breakfast. We usually stop there when we go to the Valley. After breakfast we headed for Donna, Texas to the Don-West
December 13th Thursday ~~ Mexico ~~
Up early this morning, and in the hotel lobby for breakfast. Dury Inn had a wonderful hot breakfast. We finished and put our bags in the truck and headed to Mexico for a 9 AM appointment with the dentist to get teeth cleaned and checked out. Then afterwards we went to a couple of blocks away to the pharmacy that we have been going to for several years to pick up meds and then went and had our free margaritas. Headed to the Vet pharmacy and got Herbie's heart worm pills and then we headed back to the boarder. This year they are checking bags more careful. We stopped for lunch at Fat Daddy's BBQ and the food was so good. I ended up taking most of mine home, as usual. We we went right to the Pet boarding to pick up Mr. Herbie. He was out in the play area and seen our truck and then he seen me and he went bonkers.. So happy to see us. When we got home, he climbed on the back on the sofa and went sound to sleep. I think that it was good for him to be boarded for the first time. Time to unwind and relax.
December 14th Friday
Temp this morning is 61 degrees and overcast. It started with lite rain. Sure was nice to wake up in our own bed. A terrible tragedy happened today in Connecticut, It is just so hard to understand why people would want to kill young children also harm anyone.
Dan went for coffee with the boys, (from other park) then they are going to Corpus to do boy things, (tool stores, sports store and BBQ Lunch) I am going to do some baking. We had a dinner event with Heartland at Pepito's in Portland.
It was an fun to get together with them.
December 15th Saturday ~~ Candy Cane Lane Christmas ~~
It is 70 degrees this morning at 6:30 AM. What a temperature change. This morning we are going to go to The Drifters RV Resort for Craft Show, then we drove to Rockport for the monthly Market Days and that is where crafters and vendors have their wares for sale.. It was really big this year. All around the perimeter of the park. Jewelry, sign makers, wood crafts, yard art, fruit, baked goods, jams and jelly were some of the vendors.
Came back home and then had some leftovers for lunch. I took Herbie for walk and visited with some of the neighbors. Later, friends Arnold and Susan went along with us to Corpus for dinner and then we went and seen the 1st night of Christmas lights. Oh the traffic was very heavy and backed up, but it was worth it. It is just amazing that the different areas decorate their homes in blocks of streets. People where walking around socializing and some homes were offering hot cider to people.
Afterwards, we drove down along the gulf front on our way back home, we seen the bay bridge all light up with different colors. Also the lighted tree in front of the American Bank Building.
It was a very nice and fun evening, and we enjoyed showing Susan and Arnold something that they had not seen before.

December 16th Sunday
It is 71 degrees this morning and no sun, it is a little humid out. We slept until almost AM this morning..
I made breakfast of Bacon and Eggs and Toast for Dan and I had a small breakfast taco. We sat around reading the paper. We had gone over to visit Gene and Linda and Dan and Gene made plans to go fishing Monday morning.
The sun only came out for about 1/2 hour today and hopefully it will be out more next week.
Dan had made a steak on the grill for dinner. After dinner the weather was so nice outside, and Dan sat out side and enjoyed his coffee and the evening.
