I was just experimenting with Connie's telephoto lens. It worked, to say the least.
Here's one result, looking up third Street:

A Must-Do Event
by Keith
Have you ever been to a belt sander race?
Don't worry, here's your chance:
If you've never seen one, you really owe it to yourself to attend, at least once. Your education will be incomplete without it!

Events and Non-events
by Keith
The published calendar shows that there will be a dinner tonight. The board by the office shows there will be a dinner tonight.
The schedule has changed; there won't be one.
Here's another way to look at it: The schedule shows that next week, there will be no Friendship Dinner. This non-event has been moved forward one week!

Patriotic Concert
The annual patriotic concert by the Rockport-Fulton High School Music Department will be held Monday evening at 7PM. That's January 23.
The band and chorus will perform—that's about 200 students on stage doing there best!
Over the years, we've found that this is a very good concert; one not to be missed if you like band or chorus music with a generous dose of patriotism thrown in.
Go. Go early. Turn right at Jalisco Restaurant. The auditorium is the first big building on the right. The one with all the cars around it.
Admission is free. A free-will collection will be taken as you exit. Proceeds support music activities at the school.

Enjoying the Sun!
by Keith
It's a beautiful day here in Rockport! Lots of folks are outside, many just sitting in their lawn chairs, others sitting on picnic tables—all enjoying the sunshine with no wind!

Eating ----and more eating!
by Keith
Speaking of eating, there's breakfast served right here "on base" each Saturday morning from 7 to 9.
It's ably served by several unmanaged (inside joke!) volunteer cooks who live right here among us.
There's always great and plentiful food, plus the ability to visit with good friends and meet new ones.

Breakfast: $4.00
Friendships: Priceless
We won't gather again to eat until this evening at 6, when it's the 2012 Build-a-Burger event!

Matt's Cherry Cobbler
by Keith
We who choose to spend the winter in Rockport, and especially those of us at Rockport 35 RV Park, eat well!
Last evening the four of us (Tom, Dianne, Pat, Keith) went up the road (north) to Stevie Lew's BBQ. The Carls had not been there before, so this was a special outing for them. Here they are, at the ordering counter. They're helped by Carrie, the "mom" of this mom and pop establishment.
This week, our "prize" goes to Matt, the son. We learned that he's responsible for the delicious cherry cobbler dessert!
Way to go, Matt!
Was it good? You bet! (or if you speak Minnesotan, "Yea, you betcha!")

But it's not just a mom and pop place. It is really a mom and pop and four kids place! And therein lies a large part of the joy of going there—watching the kids. They all work there, and appear happy to do so!

The dining room has been rearranged and redecorated this year and is very attractive. And it's close! They're open 10:00 to 7:00 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
These folks understand customer service. Their smiles show it!
