This past Friday morning (Feb. 4) everyone woke to find that the freezing rain arrived as predicted and everything was coated with ice -- temps were 27* at 5:30 am. This was the type of day where most people would not have ventured out, but of course there were a few exceptions. In all my days of living in a northern state, don't think I've ever tried to ride my bicycle on ice, but I've heard it can be done. Yes, there were a few "adventurous" people that morning. The great thing about wintering in Texas is that even though the cold temps may find us from time to time, it doesn't take long for Mr. Sun to show his face and get things back on track. And he did that just two days later. By Sunday morning the sky was clear, temps were 58 at 7 am and reached into the 70s by early afternoon. It was great to get outside again and socialize with friends throughout the park.
Pat enjoyed the warmth of the sun with a good book and chatted with friends who passed by.
Hershel and Barbara strolled through the park as Linda "scooted" along with them.
And some lounged around soaking up the sun while enjoying the company of fellow campers.Yes, we do have cooler (ok, sometimes just down right cold) weather while wintering in Texas, but it sure beats what we all left behind in our northern home towns.
