Here is Pat (front row, far right) with her yoga class at the Pollock Center in Port Aransas. She also is part of an aerobics class at the same place. The lady next to Pat is Delores Olson from Golden Valley MN. Delores and her husband, John, are our next door neighbors at Tropic Island RV Resort. Some crafting classes are also offered, and Pat takes part in some of them as well.
This is the Texas quilt Pat made this winter. It's almost finished at this point. Still needs a backing and final quilting. It's not the only quilt she has made this winter. Being in a house on wheels has not stopped Pat from doing the things she has always done. And the crochet hook almost never stops, either. We go through a lot of yarn.

While our friends in the northern latitudes may be experiencing drifting snow, we sometimes experience drifting sand. Let me tell you, drifting sand is a lot easier to take than drifting snow. For one thing, it's a lot warmer! We've been able to wear shorts and t-shirts almost all the time this winter. The city from time to time has to plow the sand out of the beach roadway.
Last week we made a day-trip to South Padre Island. It is the southern-most barrier island on the Texas Gulf coast. You can't get there by driving down the islands. There is no bridge between Padre Island and South Padre, so you have to go inland and take the expressway south. After all the extra miles are added in our day trip ended up being over 450 miles. What we did discover is that South Padre Island is way overdeveloped and ends up being not nearly as pleasant, from our point of view, as Mustang Island. SPI has too many high rise buildings, too many people, too much traffic, and too little land area. The beach is mostly not accessible, and when you can get to the beach it is unkempt and not driveable or even comfortably walkable.
