I know...I have a LOT of blogging (catching up) to do!


I've been blaming my lack of blogging on the very slow Internet connection here, but it shouldn't actually have kept me from writing. The slow connection is due, I believe, to what appears to be an almost full RV park, lot's of wind and rain and cold, thus EVERYONE and their brother trying to use the Internet at the same doggone time! When it's warm and sunny, we try to get out and RIDE or hang out on the beach or do SOMETHING. I get on this computer almost every day and check my MySpace, Facebook, email, do maintenance on websites I've made for other people, read blogs I follow and by then HOURS have gone by and I'm too tired (or too lazy) to think clearly enough to write anything, SO, here I am telling you all that I'm going back about a month or so and will be posting LOTS of photos of our adventures here in Port Aransas as my slow Internet connection allows. Heck, I haven't even gone back yet to update my previous blogs...oh well, I hope that gives you all something to look forward to. By the way, I sure do enjoy reading other's blogs!

Windy Wet Beach - January 14, 2010







You can see how far the water came up! It's not usually up that high.





The variance in color, light and shadows that takes place literally in a matter of minutes or even seconds, never ceases to amaze me!

Very high tide!

December 24, 2009 - Glad our travel trailer didn't blow away with us in it! See how those trees are bending?!



Wind still blowing here at nearly 50mph! (pics taken through the windows)

News excerpt from KRISTV.com:
Today's winds caused a lot of damage across the Coastal Bend.
The wind also caused problems for the folks over at the Sandpiper Hotel near Port Aransas. Around 11:00 am, wind gusts caused the bricks on the north side of the hotel to fall off the building. The large bricks fell several stories and completely destroyed three employee vehicles. The Sandpiper Hotel management says that the "freak occurance" caused $1,000,000 in damage. The bricks also landed on a transformer, reducing the hotel's power output to half. Several guests were relocated to other hotels on the island, while hotel staff deals with the damage.
No one was hurt.

The Sanpiper is just a mile down the road from us! The winds were as strong as 75 miles per hour at one point! Needless to say we didn't sleep much.
