Awake: 5:27am Temp 66 sleep 7+47 cloudy overnight @ Aransas Pass, TX.
Flash news: This morning I tried our computer connection thru our cell
phone & its working normal again. I don’t know what changed or transpired
but we are both delighted to have the Internet available again.
Zack calls from Seattle on his new “Blue Tooth” cell phone using the
Cingular Service. He’s driving to work & has a question for both of us: a
car question & a cooking question. Our answers are both correct so I hope
we get high marks for being there when he needed us.
Next, I visit the Park Manager, Ben; our (1) month of camping @ this park
has expired. Now I pay the extra metered charge for electricity used for
the month that we were away: $52.00. Not too shabby! Now for the next (2)
days, we are on a daily rate & that means unlimited electrical usage. So,
today is laundry day. Would you believe 5 loads?
4:00pm social hr was busy. 4 teams sign up to play pool. This means: when
your team loses, you wait a long time for the next challenge.
@ 5:00pm, we are all invited to the Margarita gala with finger foods &
other goodies, all made by fellow campers. The Margaritas were concocted
by seasoned professionals in the campground. Clare made strawberry
Margaritas, Judy made regular with Splenda, Wayne made traditional, and
Lorraine made mango Margaritas. We sampled the traditional and strawberry;
both were g-r-e-a-t as was the all too plentiful food.
Late evening movie: “The Barefoot Contessa” with Ava Gardner, Humphrey
Bogart, Edmond O’Brien, Marius Goring, Rossano Brazzi, etc. A gaggle of
Hollywood vultures headed by director Humphrey Bogart picks naïve dancer
Ava Gardner out of a Madrid nightclub & proceeds to mold her into a film
star. A simple unpretentious soul, she marries an impotent Italian
nobleman (Rossano Brazzi) dies, & is buried by her chief mentor who tells
her tragic story in flashbacks. 1954. A sad tail but it had my attention
throughout; how to find true happiness & be with a good man; so
unpredictable!
