Remember that when you leave this Earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received, only what you have given, a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage. -St. Francis of Assisi

South Padre Island

THANK YOU! to everyone for the advice about the air conditioner. You confirmed my instincts that it's not a good idea to use 15 amp to cool down the coach.  I asked the guys who told me the 15 amp may work -  Why is the coach built with 30 amp then? No one had an answer.  My daughter really wanted me to stay at the beach house with everyone, but I am only a few miles down the road and I am borrowing Jessie's car to go back and forth to the campground.


Although I have walked along the shore in the past, Saturday was the first time in my life that I swam in an ocean. I don't know if anyone took pictures of me bobbing around. If was fun to have the waves push me around in the water. A few strong waves knocked me down and I was not fast enough to get up so I stretched out my legs and let the waves push me closer to shore.

I had one of the beach house keys on my wrist and one of the strong waves knocked it off my arm and took the key out to sea.  The property manager was very understanding when we called her and she came and gave us another key.


On Sunday some of the group are taking surfing lessons, I can take pictures or participate, not sure what I will do. On Monday all of the guys are going out deep sea fishing.  On Monday morning I am going horseback riding on the beach with Diane & Becky.
