Settling In At Chimney RV Park

Last night neighbours invited us to go to a fish fry at the Legion.  Six of us went and dined on delicious fried catfish, hush puppies, fries and coleslaw.  We've never eaten catfish before.  Wayne also had copious amounts of beer.  I won the 50/50 draw.  Very surprising.  We met some Texans and listened to lots of karaoke.  Mostly country with some golden oldies thrown in for spice.

This morning was the park's weekly breakfast.  It was very early 7 am.   Very tasty and worth getting up for.  Tomorrow is the ice cream social.  Somehow I think there will be lots of opportunities to avoid cooking. lol

I did some laundry today.  Couldn't do all of it as I ran out of quarters and the office isn't open on the weekend.  We also tried to set up our satellite dish.  No luck.  Our stand is not very stable and we can't get locked on to a signal.  Local over the air channels are heavily into football and very old series such as Perry Mason and Lost in Space.  Star Trek is just starting - the original series.

The weather has been very hot.  Near record temperatures.  We spent several hours in the pool today.  The water was much warmer than the pool in Alabama but still quite refreshing.

Tomorrow we need to get more groceries, especially meat.  It's taking awhile to get organized to have a good selection of meal choices on hand.

We replaced our American phone with a newer model.  We were supposed to keep the same number but that didn't happen.  Oh well such is life.

I think we will enjoy our time as Winter Texans.  Everyone is very friendly and outgoing.
