Happy π Day! 🥧

This is indeed an important day.  "Marie C" has done a lot of work for us today, including an apple crumb pie and beef pot pies.  In all fairness Pat did bake them!

"Let's Roam"

This was our first "Let's Roam" destination, a grapefruit sculpture.  How many sections are in a real grapefruit?

Best day ever!  We don't get a lot of mail but today we got TWO books. Almost 2 weeks ago Samira (5) showed and read to us a cute, scary, and funny book she had written for us.  We didn't know that Cyrus had made us a book too.  It was an activity book (connect the dots), creative, fun, and very good.  Some samplings below.

Think we might be getting old!

Anyone know what this wildflower is?  They have been popping up in our park this week.

I'm full of questions tonight.  Who is the singer in the picture below?  He was featured in this 1995 Wildlife Concert that we watched in our last "Concert in the Park" tonight.  He died in 1997.  This was the first person I saw in concert thanks to my oldest brother John and my sister-in-law Theresa.  They took me to Blossom Music Center In Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio in, I believe, 1974.  It was an outdoor theater, nothing like anything I had ever seen, and I was very impressed.  I remember sitting on the hill.

Isla Blanca here we come!

On the second attempt today there was lift-off for Starship SN10!

We were afraid we would miss what looked like a SpaceX Starship SN10 launch this morning because Pat had a 10 a.m. dentist appt. We made it to our viewing spot in Port Isabel around 11.  It finally took off around 5:30 p.m.!

The freeze and a glimpse of RV park life, part 2

I hope this poor cactus recovers from the freeze.

Thursday at 11 was Funky Bingo.  Pat won a gift card to Schoolhouse Creamery.   At noon there was "lunch in the park" with yet another food truck, Chivos (Mexican) from 11-1.  FYI - no rocket launch today, maybe Monday.

A glimpse of RV park life for a week, part 1.

I was not lucky with the cards at the poker run.

What is it like in a "winter" RV park?  Well, this is our first year, and from what we've heard, this is certainly not a "normal" year with all of the Covid restrictions.

Sandcastle Village

Anyone else watch  the landing of the Perseverance rover on Mars Weds.?  It was actually a simulation of the landing, but we saw the first picture of Mars it sent back.  It has a drone helicopter, Ingenuity, on board.  Lots of data to be collected on Mars as well as on the equipment just sent up.
