Swim
in the pool to start the day, shower, then home for a nice walk with
Bosco, then breaky with Polly as we plan the day ahead. Dinner
tonight with friends from each side of us, Dave and Joanne friends we
met in Crofton, Barry and Sharon from PEI we met here, was another
fun night, with happy hour, then dinner all on the patio. We planned
pork shish-cabobs as we had talked about last night. Also wanted to
try a Strawberry Margarita, never had one of these, but a friend
Charlie Schaal told me to have one, so here we go.
The
days plan was to go shopping with Joanne, and see what we could find
at Costco. (Polly got some pants she had been looking for and a few
groceries) Lunch, Costco hot-dogs, then to the bargain place Ramirez,
Polly got her iron for $5.00, I got the table I wanted, Joanne got something
she wanted. Then to Feldmans we all said sounded like a sporting
goods store, but was a liquor store. We picked up a few bottles of
what we wanted. Now HEB and a few more groceries to finish.

Now
home for a nap, and get ready for dinner.
Polly
looks up how to make a fresh Strawberry Margarita, and I get the
table setup, and the deck ready, the look at the directions. Glasses
we know will be different then we would usually have as no big
glasses here, so plastic will have to do. Not all ingredients here so
adapt, and they turned out good after some adjustment to taste. Polly
gets all the veggies ready, the meat she had in the marinade from the
morning, makes it easy for me, I just put it all on the sticks, and
BBQ.
All
went well, with an appy Buffalo Chicken dip and crackers &
Margaritas to start, dinner was all we needed and more. After we had
ate our fill, Polly says desert! Most said no, but a few went for the
fresh cooked pie Polly led us to believe she baked... not.
The
propane fire pit came out later, and we sat and talked late around
the fire. Was a nice way to spend the evening getting to know each
other even better.
There
is much to do here, but we have been busy not doing too much, walking
in the morning, and pool in the afternoon, usually happy hour
sometime around 4pm, and dinner late. Today was different as Breaky
was to be in the main hall just bring a couple eggs each, and your
plates and utensils, and ice for drinks. We came to the hall and was
more then 1/2 full already and we were early. Got our eggs into the
pile and got invited to sit with others by Carol, never met her
before, intro to all at the table, very friendly, and then asked what
were our plans, where next, and when will we be back? People from BC,
Ontario, Manitoba, Texas, and Minnesota were the main places we heard
mentioned. Some wanted to know what it was like in BC, on the island.
Some we asked what it was like where they were from. All was
interesting, in the mean time we had drinks early in the am, much
different for us. A Fuzzy Navel for me and a Salty Dog for Polly,
never had these before, so try them.
Our
table number was called late as many went first, then we go up and
get our eggs cracked into a plastic freezer bag with our name we
wrote on it, and then we add our ingredients as we want from the
table in the centre of the hall. The bags are closed by a qualified
technician... lol then are sent out to the chefs that cook them in
boiling water for precisely 13 minutes I’m told. The whole process
goes by faster than we thought it would once the baggie is filled.
Once
or baggies were served to us at the table, then carts came to the
table that had fruit and pastries on them, and we filled up with what
we wanted from these. What an interesting way to get together, and
have Brunch is what it is called. As this went on there was a man
that was MC and played music all through the morning, and announced
as the morning went, for door prizes and the 50/50 prize at the end
of the morning.
What
a nice way to start the day, met many more people from many different
places, and had a scrumptious breakfast, nice way to start another
day.
Gee
now what, hmm nap, and a swim again, tough life here in southern
Texas. Think we will be back!
Loving
life here in Country Sunshine RV Resort...
