JUST LIKE A SUMMER DAY AT THE BEACH

The weather was perfect today.  It's just like summertime here in Port Aransas.  It's hard to believe it's December.  Of course, that will be changing in a few days.  We will be getting rain and a cold front.  Can't wait.

The rising sun shining through my front door this morning.

This is the view that I love to see out of my front door. 

I was pleased to have a neighbor move in next to me this morning.  They are from Colorado and have a beautiful 5th wheel.


  I was eager to use my new awning so unrolled it this afternoon.  It got really hot around mid afternoon and the shade was nice.  Later, it got a bit windy and I had trouble rolling it back up.  I barely avoided a disaster when the wind blew it up while I was trying to collapse it.  That was a close call.

Huge tanker going through the pass.

We had a very relaxing day.  We'd sit out on our chairs, then take a walk, then go inside and snack, then sit out on our chairs again.  I did a lot of reading and Xi and the cats did a lot of napping.  And all the while I could hear the roar of the Gulf.  Just love it.

  1. You're in such a beautiful spot! Nice view out the door. Must be wonderful to hear the waves all the time. That will be very cozy if the weather turns.

    1. Hi Barbara... Yes, it is really nice here. To be able to hear the waves all night long from my open bedroom window is just the greatest. Looking forward to the cold spell.

    1. Hi Jo... To me, there is nothing better than a beach. I never get tired of it. I think you would love it here.

    1. Hi Cyn... It was a close call on that awning incident. If I were to move back away from the waves and near the dunes it would not be as windy and I could open it up again. However, I probably won't do that. In a week or so I may move to the RV campground behind the office which is somewhat behind the dunes.
