Puppy Shower

As most of you know, Jeannie recently become the "mother" of an adorable puppy, "Sky."

This morning, the ladies of the park successfully executed a surprise Puppy Shower for Jeannie—and Sky, of course.

And Jeannie was indeed surprised! "For me??" she said just as this picture was snapped.

Jeannie is one of the most friendly, most willing, and most helpful residents here at Rockport 35 RV Park. Therefore, the ladies were thrilled to have a chance to show their respect and love for her. A cute and full-of-energy puppy came along and provided the perfect opportunity!

As with any good baby shower, there was plenty of talk, plenty of gifts, plenty of coffee, and cake!

Jeannie was an appreciative recipient and graciously thanked the ladies—sealing each thank you with a big "Jeannie hug" for each lady.

That's Jeannie!

The serving crew, above, had a great time cutting the cake.

Because of the specialness of the occasion, a large number of ladies from the park attended. They all felt it was great to have something special for Jeannie, as she does so much for the entire park.

Health Care Bill

Have you contacted your Representative and Senators today regarding the pending health care plan?

I have. I contacted them yesterday, too. I plan to contact them tomorrow, also.

How about you?

You can find your senators here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

I suggest contacting both of those who claim to represent you.

Your representative can be found here: http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml

For best results, contact both of your senators and your representative. Then keep track of how well they represent your interest and use it as a guide for voting in the next election.

In theory, they represent you. In effect, they work for you. Therefore, you can hire and fire them; it's called an "election."

And they all have term limits. That, too, is called an "election."

Contact Your Senator and Representative

I've just finished emailing my Congressman and both Senators.

If you haven't done that yet today, and have feelings about the pending health care bill, now would be a great time for you to do the same.

This page will make it easy to email your representative: https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml

Your senators can be emailed through this page: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

And please don't forget to contact them tomorrow, too.

And the next day.

Ferry Record?

Yesterday, we took the Port Aransas ferry three times within an hour.

Wonder why? Ask Pat.

Geof Won!

After a month of playing, Geof won a game of pool last night! It made a perfect ending to a great day.

It was a hard-fought battle of 101. Keith=100, Geof=101 for the win!

Two Answers ...

...to the question, "What do you do all the time down in Texas?"

Mary and Norman are taking advantage of today's absolutely beautiful weather to "just sit." Now this is nothing new for Norman; he's an accomplished sitter. I suspect he has to do a lot of it during the winter, as I don't think he does much of it back home in Coldwater, KS.

Gordon spends a lot of time carving wood during his stay at Rockport 35 RV Park. Here's his latest work-in-progress: a cardinal. It is fine looking, indeed!

How Much Did It Rain?

Last night's rainfall at Rockport 35 RV Park, Site 80, measured 0.2 inches.

I apologize to our international visitors, as I neglected to get the metric amount before I dumped it. Of course I could convert it, but that would require effort.
