Two Answers ...

...to the question, "What do you do all the time down in Texas?"


Mary and Norman are taking advantage of today's absolutely beautiful weather to "just sit." Now this is nothing new for Norman; he's an accomplished sitter. I suspect he has to do a lot of it during the winter, as I don't think he does much of it back home in Coldwater, KS.


Gordon spends a lot of time carving wood during his stay at Rockport 35 RV Park. Here's his latest work-in-progress: a cardinal. It is fine looking, indeed!



How Much Did It Rain?

Last night's rainfall at Rockport 35 RV Park, Site 80, measured 0.2 inches.

I apologize to our international visitors, as I neglected to get the metric amount before I dumped it. Of course I could convert it, but that would require effort.

Need a New Rig?


Don't you wish you could park your rig like that?

This is a 1974 video, apparently. I've never heard of it, so can only assume that it was not a business success.

But it is a great idea!!!

Play the Piano?

Here's a great opportunity for someone familiar with electronic pianos to help a fellow resident and probably have a little fun. Here's a note I received today:

Help! Have a new electronic Yamaha piano and need help getting started, used to play the accordion 50 years ago, willing to pay for lessons, Lot 138. Or call 906-984-4115

Pat has an electronic piano at home. Actually, it is a computer which has been packaged to look like a piano. It's amazing what those instruments will do! We also have a computer which looks like a Ford F-350. Everything is a computer these days! 'Spose that's why no one can fix 'em?

On Pat's computer/piano, you can push a button and hear the Whop Whop Whop sound of a helicopter! We use that at home, to remind us of the helicopters here at Rockport 35 RV Park!



Valentine's Day Dinner


Last Saturday, we had a great Valentine's Day dinner in the clubhouse!

Chef Tony, aided by Allison and chef-in-training Bob, provided a delicious meal. And a talented jazz pianist provided great background music for the evening.

I tried to get pictures of all attendees, but missed at least one couple—for which I apologize. You can see all the pictures at this Picasa site: http://picasaweb.google.com/KeithArdenW/2010ValentineSDayDinner#
I suggest that you click on "Slideshow" just above the upper left picture. Then it will run through all the pictures automatically.

Photos, 4 x 6 size, are available for each couple pictured. They'll be available for you to pick up (no charge) at the wine tasting Wednesday, the friendship dinner Thursday, or in the office.

Most pictures are pretty good. However, I thought the one of Walter and Ruth did a great job of showing the charm which this couple exhibits so chose it to post.
