Yep......up to 86 Degrees today but OMG, these are the steadiest, strongest winds I believe we have experienced this year down here. It is 9:25pm.....and THANK GOD, I don't get seasick because TheHowserHouse is really moving around with these non-stop winds. Should not have any trouble getting to sleep.......we never stop rocking this evening.
Today: up at the usual time, French Roast coffee, fresh grapefruit, morning rituals, and then before we hardly knew it, the time arrived for us to leave for Victoria Palms RV Resort, a few miles west of here. The reason: the 2nd annual "Gathering" of the RV.NET members who are here in the RGV!
It was held at the Cactus Club at Victoria Palms......and the room was packed with members....and OMG, but what a grand afternoon we had!!! We saw friends that we made last year when we were here, we saw friends we have made this year, and met many more rvers that we will continue to stay in touch with. There were 122 registered to attend, and I believe that most of them did arrive at some time or another during the afternoon. Our organizer, Shirley.........she did a wonderful job....and I'm quite certain it WAS a job! We are sooooooo appreciative of all that you did do, Shirley!!!
We had a wonderful MC......Whippet from Canada. He is a natural with the microphone in his hand.....and had us laughing most of the afternoon. Wonderful door prizes were given away, we all had plenty of various kinds of liquid refreshments, popcorn, and then later on, hot dogs. We had plenty of time to visit, to "work the room and table hop", talking with others, meeting others, and putting faces with the online RV.NET names that we use on their wonderful Forum!
Then the last hour of the afternoon gathering we were entertained by the Skahl Family......a great group of musicians whom I believe are from the Nashville, TN area. Always is great to have a live group to enjoy. And......their performance was very entertaining and enjoyable!!
Returning to TheHowserHouse, we just kicked back for a while and enjoyed a quiet little rest before we made a bike trip over to the Rec Hall/Club House and Library for a few new books and to get a few brochures about activities, etc., etc. Returning to the north section of the resort, it was hardly necessary to peddle......the winds just pushed us back here!
WOW.......this was another GREAT day for us here at TheHowserHouse!!! Soooo great to spend time with friends at these social gatherings. My, my, my.......but our social schedule is soooo tightly booked/packed.....we may never get away from here by the end of this month!!!! Not certain we can get it all done...........however, whether we do or not, after a day like today.......
LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
