STILL in Rockport without a Refrigerrator!

Dec 3 – 9, Mon – Sun ... It’s obvious that someone is testing our patience because nothing positive happened with regard to our refrigerator issue this week. They tell us “maybe next Wednesday or Thursday” the part will arrive. We’re beginning to think we will be spending the winter in Rockport, Texas waiting on parts. (To add insult to injury, on Sunday, we discovered one of our air conditioners would not work). Tuesday evening, we stood in line for an hour to eat a complimentary fish dinner provided by the city of Fulton for all the winter Texans. We had a good time meeting and talking with another couple while waiting in line. The food, however, was worth the wait. Dixie visited a local Chiropractor three times for a problem with pain in her shoulder and arm. We drove through Goose Island State park and also saw what is know to be the largest Oak Tree in Texas which is over 1000 yrs old. On Sunday, we rode the bikes eight miles along a beach road and into the city of Fulton. While taking a walk out on a pier, we observed a dolphin in the choppy bay waters.
