Awake: 6:05am Temp 68 sleep 6+15 cloudy, then rain
overnight @ Aransas Pass, TX.
Katrina calls en route to her Masters class in Denver. She had a question
for me about her car & a quick chat with Kathy. I believe Denver’s temp
may be in the minus range this morning & that makes me feel comfortable
just being this far south.
My Sprint Air Card arrived this morning along with our other mail from
Alaska. After 10:00am, I call another campground to begin making
arrangements for leaving this wonderful Ransom RV Park. As of Monday, this
place will be 100% full with no exceptions. It is certainly understandable
why this park is a very popular winter hangout. A lot of these die-hards
reserve their same site yr after yr.
Heavy rain sneaks into our area around 3:30pm. Now what shall we do? We
can’t take that walk around the campground that we talked about. Since we
have church and evening activities planned, Kathy suggests an early dinner
of: pork chops, broccoli, whole wheat fried noodles & a spinach salad
around 4:45pm. I barely have the dinner dishes finished when Ray calls
from Ocean Park, WA around 5:20pm. We don’t talk long as we are about
ready to walk out the door to attend the 6:00pm Vigil Mass @ the Church of
Saint Mary of the Sea (10 min drive).
The early dinner was a great idea and we are only slightly late to listen
to the ole “professional” musicians’ Jam Session in the club house planned
for 7:00pm. What we found when opening the door: some 150 fans (not
counting the musicians) of old time rock & roll, country, & some swing
aficionados. Dee pointed us to a couple of empty chairs. We enjoyed the
performance of these fellows and 2 women playing their instruments;
guitars, fiddles, drums, spoons, harmonicas, keyboards, & one accordion
without music sheets, blending their instruments. Many performed
individual instrument solos and some came out of the audience to sing. It
was impressive!
Much later, K & I watch the weather channel, the latest news & do some
light reading.
High temp=72 Lights out: 11:57pm
