Port Aransas

Wild weather night last night. Wind and rain. We pulled in one of the bedroom slides to quiet it down some.

It’s a social group here. We get together to celebrate holidays and each other’s arrivals, anniversaries, and birthdays. To simplify, we’ve taken to consolidating events. Tonight was dinner at Juan’s to celebrate five December birthdays, three arrivals, new owners, and new friends. Dinner for thirty. That was not a quiet get-together.

It’s quiet now, though. Back home, just the two of us. The wind has gone down. Now we’ll watch the thermometer go down. We’re in the forties. We’ll probably be in the thirties before the night is over. Then we get a warm-back-up.

Tomorrow afternoon, we get our Christmas present from Becky: Becky. She’s flying down to visit us for a couple days.
