March started with 45 degrees and a dense fog alert. Good Hoodie weather! Cooler mornings and warmer afternoons seem to have been the norm for the week. Since I’ve started reading a 700+page book on Irish Princes, I need all of the warm afternoons I can get for setting outside and reading!
Still looking at that darn grease stain on the carpet from where the slide was in and left the rail mark. It is getting lighter; I might get rid of it eventually! Maybe if I’d get back down on my hands and knees and scrub the darn thing, it would go away quicker, but I’m too lazy to be doing all of that. Besides, I’m retired, what do I have but time.
So far, no travel trailer. The ones I’ve looked at either need too much repair or toooo much money! The right one will come along eventually, but sure would like to get one so I can get to Iowa this summer!
Pancake race was Thursday evening just before the Friendship Supper. Thursday was spent doing last minute stuff for the race. Thought there would be enough 'breakfast' type stuff for the pancakes, so my contribution was strawberries, blue berries, raspberries and whipped cream. Cleaned the fruit, wrapped the first place prizes and all beads and supplies were ready to go. Had help blowing up the balloons. With my lungs and without any help, I should have started blowing them up several weeks ago!
The event went well, I think. It was kinda "iffy" about the pancake thing. Most people just seemed to shrug about the idea, not seeming too interested. Pam and I weren't sure if anyone would show up. Allison went around with paper and pencil and got folks to sign up! I think they did have a good time. But I did learn one thing: I don't want to get involved in any more activities; I don't wanna be "in charge" of anything!
Keith was kind enough to take pictures of the race and post them on the RV park blog.

Friday AM got up to fry a couple eggs for the critters and realized I came home without my frypan. Hmmm…wonder where I left it! Sure glad it was my little Dollar Store special with the cracked handle!
While out with Li’l Bit, I had 3 people tell me what a fun time they had. Oh, Heavens! I hope this isn't going to be an annual event! If it is, I sure hope Pam and Geoff come back! Guess it really doesn't take much to entertain ol' folks!
New Mexican place opened up down the highway, about 1/2 mile from the park. Been 3-4 different places in just the few years I've been coming here! Hope this one is good and lasts. Met Deryl & Elke there Friday evening for dinner and I wasn’t disappointed. It was their anniversary and they left Saturday on their vacation.
Winds really picked up Saturday and worried about them driving in all that. Winds were blowing a steady 20+ mph with gusts up to 45-50mph. Getting me ready for Iowa, I guess!
Went to Aransas Pass WalMart on Sunday. Bigger than Rockport and different stuff. Used the last of my gift card Christmas gift from Johnnie and bought a small propane grill. IF I ever get the little travel trailer, I’ll put my electric one in there and leave it. Li'lBit and I stopped on our way back from Aransas Pass at the beach, had a Church's Chicken boxed picnic lunch. Li'lBit rolled in a dead fish or two and we came home.
Had some left over stale rolls so had to make bread pudding, croutons, bread crumbs or breakfast casserole Didn't need the bread pudding. I still had my "make it up as you go" desserts with the tube of crescent dinner rolls. So, breakfast casserole it was!
