Just a normal Winter in Texas

We have a good time spending the Winter in Aransas Pass with our friends.  We have done several things with them this year/season.  We had a steak cookout where Don and Kathy Bryan furnished 2/3 of the steaks and Twila and I the remaining 1/3.  I got drafted to cook them and everyone had a good time.

Gary House installed air bags on Don’s Truck after Don and Kathy bought a new fifth wheel trailer.  He had a little help but mostly just watchers.

We also had a hamburger cookout but I didn’t take any pictures.  I did take pictures of the Ice Cream Social.  We had four kinds of ice cream.  Orange sherbet, chocolate, vanilla, and butterfinger along with several cakes, cookies and strawberries.

Yes we do like to eat.  In fact there is a saying about Winter Texans.  It is “ Winter Texans - where the women aren’t pregnant but the men look like they are”.

I also remembered I was going to report about the outside TV when I got it installed.  Well I did and I didn’t.  It has been in awhile now in fact we even had an outside movie one afternoon.  I didn’t get a lot of stuff out of the way when I took these pictures but hopefully you can see how it is installed.  Lucky I found the lead from the inside to the third TV so this made the feed from the Dish Receiver easy.  I had to go down through the floor and run a new cable for the over the air TV.  The DVD in the coach also runs through the satellite cables but the sound from the DVD only goes to the surround sound system in the coach.  I just used a portable DVD player hooked up at the outside TV to play movies.
