Raindrops keep falling on our heads

Yes, we're singing...the blues! It has rained, and rained, and rained. As luck would have it, the Gulf Coast is experiencing an El Nino weather pattern. It seems as though we've been trapped in the bus for days on end. The weather cleared a bit on Sunday, we even had a ray or two of sunshine and were able to get down to the beach for a few hours. That evening, however, it returned with a vengance and it hasn't stopped. Joe has been pouring over the web trying to find us a place to escape that doesn't have rain in the forecast. No luck - it seems the entire Southwest is in a wet weather pattern.



We resorted to DVDs, and after watching Lost in America (an Albert Brooks movie) we've decided we should rename our blog as this movie most appropriately fits us.



All for now and enjoy the rain.

January 2007, Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!

We are spending part of the winter in Port Aransas, Texas at Gulf Waters RV Resort. Our site is about 100 yards from the ocean.


We've met a number of folks who have been fulltiming for a number of years. It is apparently more than a trend!


We've had good success adjusting to retirement - we are really having a great time. We wake up to coffee and the local newspaper. After breakfast we lace up our shoes and head down to the beach, (we spend most of the morning there.) We finally wind our way back home, have lunch, maybe take a nap or go for a drive, watch a little TV, go back to the beach, think about dinner - or better yet - where to go for dinner, oops! it's happy hour, eat dinner, take a walk, play cards or watch a little TV, go to bed. Most importantly, we are lulled to sleep by the sound of waves from the Gulf of Mexico, the cries of the laughing gulls and chirping crickets.

If we are so inclined, there are a number of organized activities offered at the JELM Center in Port Aransas. We plan to participate in an organized beach clean-up in March and Nancy is planning to try out the Yoga class offered at our complex.
