Trying to Catch Up & Preparing for Memorial Day Weekend

Not much has happened so to speak but it has still been busy so I’ll try to catch you up to date. There are no pictures today but I promise to have some tomorrow. I have been trying to adjust to working in the field once again. Working in the field is very different than working out of an office in Houston. However, I’m adjusting and trying to figure out a routine that allows me to write an entry in our blog while still getting my job done and spending time with Gina.

Gina has been busy also. She still has a lot to do in order for Nicole and Shane to move into our house. She has been working on that along with trying to keep up her garden outside. My days here so far this week have been the same. Thomas & Haley (his girlfriend) drove down here to Rockport yesterday and arrived here at four o’clock. Thomas wanted fired shrimp so he went and bought three pounds of fresh shrimp and then I peeled them and fried them along with French fries for him and Haley. Gina’s day was consumed with taking Uncle Jim to the orthopedic doctor. He has been in a lot of pain and was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff. At least now he knows what is causing all the pain. He’s considering what his best path forward will be. Once Gina got home she had to go to Wal-mart and pick up a few things. We have a busy weekend planned. Thomas and Haley are already here in south Texas and Nicole, Shane, Ashley, Parker and Gina are leaving today, Friday to drive down here to South Texas to spend Memorial Day weekend. So we’ll all be together.

After we ate shrimp last night we went to Wal-mart to buy some chicken so we could put out a crab trap. I want to make sure I’ll have crabs ready to eat so when Gina gets here I’ll have her favorite seafood ready to eat. To her there is nothing like fresh boiled blue crabs. JB & Brenda got to see her in action last month when we met up with them while they were down here in Rockport. After that it was getting late and I called Gina and told her good night. It was already past my bedtime so I went to bed and Thomas & Haley were still up watching a movie.

Gina & I wish everyone safe travels if you’re going to be on the road this weekend. But more importantly while you all are enjoying this weekend please remember our soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen as they are all out there protecting our country and the freedoms that we are able to enjoy as the result of their sacrifices.

Until tomorrow, Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
