Did we tell you that we saw a lot of Dolphins as we drove out here ? Some of the bridges were amazing. They were so long and complex and new they were unbelieveable..
Didn't get a lot of sleep last nite due to stormy weather, we had the awning out and the wind was terrible, so much that we considered going out in the rain and rolling it up. NOT !! It held up ok but it kept us awake quite awhile..The rain was on and off all day but considering it's the first heavy rain we've had in a month and a half, and the sun poked out for awhile this afternoon for an hour or so, I guess we shouldn't complain..We can hear the surf from the Gulf of Mexico, just a few hundred feet away and it's kinda peaceful. We took a walk just before sunset and were held in awe by the raw power of the ocean. The sky was cloudy and angry but in all it was beautiful. This evening we rolled the awning up because the forecast is for a repeat performance tonight. Tomorrow it's supposed to go clear and sunny and 74DEG, we'll take that !! Took some movies of the Park ,and if I get off my butt, I should get them posted soon. Looking forward to the week and we'll get some touring in of this town.. You should google Grand Isle, Louisiana to see just how far we are into the Gulf of Mexico. We can see many oil rigs out in the ocean and they really are a long ways out. The town has a very large oil and gas refinery that's as big as the town, if not bigger. We've met a few camper people, and as usual, they're happy people. If the weather gets decent ,we'll have to encourage a 5 o'clock somewhere get together. :) Our phones have finally quieted down, as they did last year, and the kids are okay so we know everyone has gotten used to us being gone..that doesn't mean we don't miss y'all but it's the rhythm. if you're following the blog it'd be nice if you click on "follower" so we'll know someone is reading it even though we know some of you get this via e mail ....we enjoy your e mail too (HINT HINT) [ cmhl09@passportamerica.com ], hopefully you will fill us in on what's up in your neighborhood. We should post a new blog every few days as our internet connection here is great. I managed to find something to do during the storms this AM, our toilet water valve was leaking ( 28 years old) which fills the holding tank way too fast and the repair kit cost was almost as much as a new toilet, sooo..long story short, it took a half hour to update a stupid problem, and now we have a new "high rise" geezer commode..
we miss all our friends..REMEMBER..FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY..Charlie & Heather
