Great granddaughter Emelia!!
Today we travelled to Katy, TX, about 80 miles from the campground in Galveston, and spent the day with Grandson Nathan, his wife Giselle, and their daughter, Emelia. They are planning on moving to a different apartment next week so Stacy and I offered to take 17 month old Emelia off their hands for the…

ON THE BEACH!!
Galveston, TX finds us backed up to the beach. I am sitting at my dining table with windows left and straight ahead over the kitchen sink showing the surf rolling onto the beach! This is awesome! One of Stacy’s first remarks was “i love it!”. The next was “I can’t keep the sand out of…

Corpus Christi Last Day
We have been here a week and I have shared some observations with Stacy who for the most part agrees with some of what I say. First, there are no mustangs on Mustang Island. At least not the horse kind, and I didn’t see any. There were no geese on Goose Island either. And in…

Women In The Navy
Part of the tour of USS Lexington had an interactive feature that superimposed the 10 naval uniforms used over the years over you as you stood in the right place. Be sure to enlarge each of the following to see how Stacy would have appeared had she served at those times.

Goose Island!
Today’s adventures took us to an Ace Hardware for a sewer hose fitting that was needed in order to dump the tanks, where by the way, I thought that the customer service was exceptional. I was greeted by a guy who asked what I was looking for and when I said to just point me…

Saturday 01-10-26
Put the dogs in the back seat and headed for Mustang Island. Mile after mile of driving on the sandy beaches. We found a spot away from everyone else and let the dogs run. The rules say that they have to be on a leash. So we left their leashes attached to their collars. We…

Rockport, TX 01-09-26
The wind having abated significantly from yesterday, we were able to hook up and leave South Padre Island this morning. Staying an extra day really was not an inconvenience as we were able to take the dogs to the beach one last time and Stacy found a shop that had a T shirt which was…
