Smokin' good day!!!

 I was up for pickle ball at 8. It was chilly, but do-able.  Denny was awake and getting a pork butt on the grill with the smoke box.  He was on hold much of the time as he tried to straighten our schallertel. email. That's lots of calm soothing tunes.  At 11 I played best shot golf with Gail, Fay and Joyce.  I checked with Denny and the meat was progressing, so I invited the 3 couples for supper.  FUN!!!   Joyce brought chicken tortilla soup and Fay brought buns.   I set up the table under the car port.  Nice time visiting and laughing with friends.  

Sunday fun day

 I spent the am on the deck listening to Candlewood, Kiron, and Hope.  It was really pretty out there.  Then output 1 we went to South Padre to walk the boardwalk and the beach.  Brooks had a video on snow boarding.  We watched a person paraboarding on the beach.  Quite a difference.  We shopped at Walmart before heading home.  Keelie got her second coon in as many days.

First day golfing ...

I was up and ready to go with Hendersons to play golf at 8.   I played with Gail, Fay and Angie.  I shot a 46 and 53 ... 99.  Denny spent the morning spraying off the trailer.  It was a beautiful morning that just kept getting windier and windier.   

Christmas Cards are ready to send

 Wonderful morning.  I played pickle ball at 8 and watched Denny get the address labels ready.  Gail and I went to a couple thrift stores and then to Walmart because Denny needed some more address label to print out.  I got home and we finished getting the letters ready to send.  Denny sprayed off the deck, Nancy's car, the car port, and concrete.  Bill came over for supper.  WE Miss Kathy.  Great visit with Bill.  I'm playing golf tomorrow.  

Phillip's grandmother Bette B. died Tuesday.  She will be missed.  A life well lived.  A light lived for the Lord.                                   

                                               

Up, Up, and away!!!!!

 Down right on target ... center of landing pad BUT a little too hard.  Uffda!!! smoke and flames.

We headed to the island about 8 for the second day.  It was a wonderful day, Denny said it was like a 2 day tailgate.  The people around us on the jetty were relaxing, basking in the sun, eating lunches.   We put our chairs on a big flat rock next to another big rock that we could put our feet upon.  Lounging ... Nice.  During a postponement from 11-1 we went to SOS and got a package sent, we had  copies made of our Christmas letter, plus we got envelopes and stamps.  It was about 4 when the "stars were alined", the count down began,  and up went the starship.  So good to be there.  Lots of excitement  from people like us on the shore.  The take off noise was expected, but the smoke/fire (explosion) at the end was a surprise.  We stopped at Walmart on the way home.  I was tired and went to bed around 7:30.  Great day!

Viewing the Starship SN8 ...... NOT!!

 Alarm at 5:30 for Denny to fix breakfast before we headed with Gail and Bruce to SPI to watch the launching.  We got there about 7.  The 8 o'clock time was postponed until 10.  Gail and Bruce went home when that launch was postponed until 11.  We walked to the jetty,  Denny walked partway ... I went to the end of it.  Those granite stone slabs are huge.  We just sat in the sun as launch was set back until 4:30.  Gail and Bruce came about then, but launch was aborted.  SO we're ready to do the same thing tomorrow.  Denny's planning take alongs as he grills brats for supper.  Great day out in the sun!!!  Restful, relaxing ... too bad lift off didn't occur.  Great way to spend a quarantine day.:)
