February 26th - March 4th , 2012~~Southern Oaks Weekly Re-Cap~~

February 27th   Monday 

Foggy in the morning and light rain.

Dan and I had some errands to run in Corpus Christi, so we took off early.  We ate at t he China Garden in Corpus and that is a favorite of ours.  We took the long way home on Mustang Island and then we had to wait 45 minutes in the ferry line.

Got back in time to watch part of the Daytona 500..

February 28th   Tuesday60 degrees this morning with light fog and rain during the morning. The sun comes and goes.. Not much happening today, just hanging around and visiting with our neighbors.

February 29th  Wednesday

 HOC  lunch at Port Royal with our Heartland friends.  We had about 18 with us and we had such a wonderful time with them..  What we enjoy about the Heartland Friends, is that they accept you for who Also, they enjoy being with you.

 March 1st    Thursday

We decided yesterday at lunch that we will have breakfast at the Bakery Cafe with any one who wanted to come. 6 of us attended.   Lee and Linda will be leaving for back home in Spring City, Tennessee and we wanted to just have one last visit before they leave. 

 Later we went out for supper at Pizza Hut, that has been a standing dinner date unless we go to the island and have prime rib on Thursday night.

March  2nd  Friday

Breakfast with Reggie, Nancy, Dave and Mary.  Breakfast seems to be the meal of the day that everyone likes to go out for.. They are from Wisconsin and of course Heartland owners.  They are in our park or a month, and we will see them again in June when we all head for Gillette, WY for the International Rally.  They like to go our to eat also and see sights too.

Later in the day we were invited to a Happy Birthday Pot luck for  Jackie, Jerry and Sam.  We had to bring a dish to pass and they provided the hots dogs and hamburgers..  I brought my hot German potato salad and there were so many great side dishes.

Afterwards we came home and sat in our chairs outside and rested our full bellies.

March 3rd  Saturday

Went to breakfast with Gene and LaVerne at the Bakery Cafe.. It was really busy, but we had a good chance to visit and catch up. Came back home and spent the rest of the putzing around. Dan and Dave went and tried to help a neighbor's DVD to work and it was unsuccessful.. Dave said that he has to research it a bit more. Then they went to work on our hook-up for direct tv and found the problem,  there was a small minuet piece of wire sticking out and was preventing the connection.    After that was done Dave and Mary and Reggie and Nancy came by for Happy Hour and then Dan and I went and made dinner...

March 4th   Sunday

It was a nice day, Dan made breakfast and then I started getting tax papers together while Dan moved the furniture back to where is is suppose to be... We switched the chairs and the sofa around.  Then I walked Mr., Herbie and we got ready to go out to eat with Ben and Emma.  She had her heart set on Mexican food and we bragged up this restaurant in Corpus.  When we got there the parking lot was empty and then we noticed that it was closed on Sundays.  Well I guess everyone needs a day of rest. We ended up over at Cheddars and I had Bourbon glazed salmon..  Emma had Nachos not exactly the good Mexican meal. Took the shoreline home and it was nice to see people enjoying the beach.

What a week...... later

Went to What-a-burger for a sandwich and then took a ride to Ransom Road, saw Gene and Verne and then seen a huge bellowing  smoke out in the distance and went to see where it was coming from..  Brush fire on open land not far from our RV resort.

 Dan put a brisket in the oven earlier and we are cooking it slow, It smells yummy.. The Daytona 500  was suppose to run but it is raining and it is on hold.. 

Not much else planned for the rest of the day..  It was a busy and tiring week for us..
