Soooo slowed down...

It's hard to believe we have been in Rockport for almost 4 weeks. We had plans for the day but as the morning slipped away so did our ambitions. We did manage to get out this afternoon for a walk on a pier that we often drive by. So, we aren't fishing and we aren't painting as originally planned. Here are some examples of the shore birds Bob photographed and my journal picture for today.

A Plover. I will try to paint this little guy.

A Sandpiper; a picture of beautiful colours that I have no intention trying to recreate. I just appreciate the quality of the photograph.

I guess we actually accomplished something. It seems hard to get motivated when we enjoy our early mornings with our coffee. So before you know it it's lunch time and then if we are planning to BBQ for dinner, we start getting organized so we can cook and eat before dark.
A discussion of when we will leave here happens everyday. We are getting concerned that we may not be able to get energized enough to travel more than 50 miles a day. If that happens we need to be on the road soon just to make it home before the end of March. It's a bit of a joke with us because it has taken awhile to unwind from the intensity of the previous three months. The stress in Bob's neck and shoulders is improving daily being off the highways and not pulling the RV.
Cleaning out the fridge of leftovers today in preparation for cooking a big ham. Then, like a turkey, we will have a couple more dinners, some yummy sandwiches and if I have the energy, lol, maybe some pea soup. There goes Sunday along with some football and maybe a nightcap of our special Louisiana find, Pennsylvania Dutch egg nog....real dairy with rum, brandy and whiskey. It is only produced for a couple of months over Thanksgiving through Christmas. Unfortunately we only bought two bottles (1.75 litres each)...so we will enjoy it while it lasts. It really does put a new slant on egg nog. And it is really this big!!!
