Saturday at the Park

Today is another beautiful day in South Texas and especially at Rockport 35 RV Park. The sky is clear, with not a cloud in sight—as it was yesterday. It's headed to 68° or so, with only moderate winds.

A near-perfect day in my book.

We've already enjoyed breakfast at the clubhouse, cooked up by our great volunteer cooks. Today's crew consisted of Terry, Ron, Tom, and Bob and possibly others at other times.

Then there's Marv, our conscientious and tireless maitre de, but that's a whole 'nuther story.

Pat and I dined with Dianne and Al, newcomers to the park from Tulsa. They were quite amazed that the cooks were "just ordinary guys" from the park, volunteering their services.

There are lots of jobs which get done at the park by volunteers, just because they like to help people. Next time you see a kitchen worker, a chair arranger, a whatever, let them know that you appreciate their help.

At 1:00 today, there'll be the first poker game of the year in the clubhouse. If you've ever played Texas Hold 'Em before (or even if you haven't!) show up and give it a try! Sixteen players can be accommodated in complete comfort!

And I'll bet there'll be a lot of walking and visiting on the streets today. I've found it's always good to walk about the park around five or five thirty; by then the great barbecue smells are filling the air!

The day will end with a few tables of die-hard card players, the usual bunch of Trash players in the dining room, and a few pool players.

Just another great day at Rockport 35 RV Park!
