It was a "COOL" Walk on the Beach.....

 

Christmas Day came and we carried on with our traditional "Walk on the Beach" that I mentioned in my last Blog. We left home about 8:00 am on Christmas morning and headed East towards South Padre Island. We had been invited to stop and see our friends Larry and LaVila Lawrence at their RV Resort in Mercedes, TX. We stopped and said a quick hello, Merry Christmas greetings and hugs.  We hadn't seen them yet this winter as they have been very busy building a shelter and outdoor kitchen on their place. Then we continued on to the Beach.

We managed to "Walk on the Beach", but we didn't linger. It sure wasn't as nice as it was last year or the year before.The place wasn't overcrowded that's for sure but there were a few people mingling around. We drove on the Beach for several miles and found a quiet little spot and just sat back and watched the waves roll in. It was beautiful inside the car and out of the wind. We had a little Champagne toast to the occasion, reminisced old times and reminded ourselves how lucky we are and how much we have to be thankful for. Topped that off with a lunch of Cheese and Crackers, which made for another memorable Christmas Day.

Christmas eve we had our usual fun get together at the Club House. Of course, also as usual food was plentiful.

Ms Pat and Dale Bruss are enjoying themselves.

Here is Ms Pat modeling her new Harley Davidson knit jacket that Santa found way down deep in his sack and presented to her just moments before we came to this celebration.

On my way home from the Clubhouse, I wanted to get a picture of our good friends Greg and Bonnie Gheyssen's Christmas decorations. I think they have the BEST!

Greg and Bonnie have a beautiful Volvo Truck and Escalade Toy Hauler 5TH wheel all paint matched and they keep it looking sharp. They haul 2 Harleys in the back of the Toy Hauler and even have a Harley for Santa.....

Here is Santa on his Harley posing for my picture.

Well, that's about it for this week, only 4 more days left in this YEAR. Then we start all over again...2010!
