Merry Christmas

BJ and I are on the TX Gulf Coast west of Galveston for Christmas.  Weather has been a little too cold and colder then we expected but all is going well.   We are enjoying some long anticipated time in the great state of TX! We are moving further south after Christmas and plan on spending New Years in the RV on the beach at Padre Island National Seashore with a fire going on the beach.

Galveston is an interesting beach side town and we are looking forward to seeing more of it then we are right now.  It looks like a great place to be in warmer weather.

An Old home in Galveston

My favorite place in Galveston!

We are staying at an RV park that is on San Luis Pass (in TX speak a pass is what we call an inlet in FL, a break in the barrier island where the sea enters a lagoon/estuary). It is a small county run park that is about half-full except that in the last few days many of the folks in the RVs have left their RVs here and gone home for the holidays!  We of course are in our home so are staying right here.

BJ has been thrilled to see these regularly

at the beach in front of our RV!

Low temps overnight have been too low in the bottom 30's!  Days have been in low 50's and sometimes have not reached the 50's!  And, it has been windy. But, sun has shined on most days, more on some days then others.

We are enjoying a sedate, for us, Christmas! BJ has a turkey breast to cook, she cooked a pecan pie already and our favorite 7-layer salad. She cannot remember if she got the recipe from Aunt Joyce or Myra but we remember that was the first time we had it one T-day at their house when we were stationed at KI Sawyer!

Merry Christmas and a Safe and 

Happy New Year to you all!

Always at home, no matter where we are!!
