It's hard to believe that it was 77F in Orange, Tx on Monday. We stayed an extra day in Houston because of the icy travel conditions yesterday. Today was a much nicer day to travel and warmer and drier as we got down near Rockport, Tx. It warmed up to a balmy 46F today and is supposed to warm up a little everyday. Whew.

We arrived in Rockport, and this is one of our Resort Parks. You can tell we are going west as the Resort Parks are getting better. We did not run into a lot of them in the east. Good ones that is. This one has 2 club houses, 2 heated pools, 2 hot tubs and a multitude of activities. They have art classes, paper tole classes, billiard, horsheshoes and Texas holdem tournaments. Can hardly wait. I am going to wear myself out. Can't believe they heat the pool in this temp. We had a chicken for dinner tonite, provided by the park. Saturday is steak dinner, and a 50's dance. There are activities everyday. The ppl her are friendly and all the old folks are getting and grand child fix on Yvonne. She will be popular here. Met a few people from Ontario here so it was like old home week for us Canucks.

I think we are going to try and stay here till the early part of Feb. if the weather improves. Sure is pretty along this coast. Jim
