No, they don't have that thing on top of their head.

We're glad you could join us, Vicki, and glad you still want to be a part of our group....no one scared you away. lol
Hope to meet up with you again down the road someday....or back here next year.

Thanks again for all the pictures. I so miss that beach! Next year I hope to be there, too! Meantime, you are making me nostalgic, jealous and so happy for those of you who could be there. Thanks for the great memories you're sharing.

It was a very lazy day for us here at the TX gtg.
First we went out to see what washed up on the beach during the night and found two matching puffer fish. They sort of looked like Easter eggs.


We had to say goodbye to Sprinter.


Karen was the only one that stayed busy...she was restless I guess. So she dressed up Buddy.


Then she tried to take all 3 dogs for a walk together....I wonder how that worked out.


Now what?


What idle minds can think of.


Roe and I took a stroll down the beach. The high winds and waves are causing some erosion.


Back to taking pictures of flowers, ho-hum.


This wind-surfer was adventurous in the 20 mph winds.


Birdie and I went to scope out a local dump station for when we leave...it doesn’t exist in the location her gps said it should. Oh well, we don’t need it yet.

Everyone was so worn out we’ve all retired early to our rigs. It’s too windy for a fire in our new pink fire ring tonight anyway. We’re hoping Diana (mtngal) will come back tomorrow and share another campfire circle with us.

Ah, Liz, didn't you already post these pictures???

Ah, Liz, didn't you already post these pictures???

Thanks Lori...that HAD to be a Photobucket snafu. I couldn't have done that, could I? Anyway hope they're all correct now.

[Sprinter]

Thank you all for such a wonderful weekend! Bethers, you sure picked a great place for a gtg. And Karen, you and the girls picked the perfect spot on the beach. We had our own beautiful cove all to ourselves.



This was the view from my rig when I woke up each morning



We couldn't have asked for better weather. The drive down and back was just gorgeous with all the wildflowers in bloom. The fellowship with our sistah's was the highlight, not to mention the fantastic food! Sorry I missed seeing Diane again but it was great to meet Vicki. Liz gets the award for traveling the furthest! It was great to see you again, and thanks for posting all your excellent photos for us It's always fun to hang out with Karen. Love the pink fire ring! lol. I also got a great education in coastal birds from Birdie. Who knew there were so many.

I think it's safe to say the bail money is safe again. We didn't see anyone patrolling the area all weekend. Here's where I left them. Doing what we do best. Relaxing


Thanks again girls for an awesome time!

Love,
Sharon
