Rockport/Lamar/Fulton, Texas

Matthew and I totally enjoyed our Saturday with friends—Jim and Judy.  (We met them in the summer at a city campground in Seward, Alaska.)  It was certainly a day full of activities!
Matt piloted a pontoon boat—very well, I might add!  We visited an outdoor market.  Jim introduced us to our new favorite fast food restaurant—Whataburger.  In the evening, we celebrated LaMardi Gras--a lucrative and fun fund-raising event for the local volunteer fire department!  Matthew and I met a number of Jim and Judy’s neighbors and friends.  (They have quite a collection of great people!)
Conversation and camaraderie with the two of them, while in their beautiful home, was also marvelous!  Matthew and I look forward to seeing them again.  SMILES!!
Matt seriously piloting; Jim watching out for reefs
New word (for me)--a group of Live Oaks is called a "mott"
The Big Tree--a 1000-year-old Live Oak near Jim and Judy's home
Matthew and I have become quite the tree-huggers!
