Lone Star FMCA Camping Group - Part 2

We arrived home at about 11:00AM today from our weekend with the Lone Star FMCA group. We officially joined them, and sent off for our creditials. However, due to some previous committments, we won't make their next two scheduled outings. We will, however, meet with them at the FMCA six state rally in North Little Rock in late September.

Saturday morning at the rally started out with a taquito breakfast. They were brought in from a local restaurant, and were very good. After breakfast, Patsy and I went into to town to buy a bag of ice, but ended up visiting the 'tourist' area and walked the streets and shops. I even found a shop where Patsy was able to buy a pair of the sandals that she had been looking for on Friday in Aransas Pass.

On Saturday night, we had another catered meal.......... chicken, green beans, potatoes, salad and dessert. It was good, even though it was chicken!!! After dinner, we played "card bingo", and I never knew about playing bingo with a deck of playing cards! It was fun, but Patsy won one pot out of eight games, and I did not win any!!

We did, however, win one of the nicest door prices........ it was a donation to the rally from the Rockport Chamber of Commerce. It was a basket of gifts that included two T-shirts (an XL and 2XL, that actually fit us!), two bottles of an alcoholic beverage from Seagrams, two bottles of hand cleaner, a key chain, deck of playing cards, a ceramic fish, a wind chime, and a nice pair of binoculars. Here's a picture:

After the bingo game, everybody broke into smaller groups and played games. I found a good poker group, and had a very good night. I won enough to cover the cost of weekend, including Patsy's sandals! Nice night!!

As soon as we got home today, we had to wash the motorhome. We had hundreds of 'love bugs' smeared all over the front of the Bus.
We will be at home for a few days, and then we will meet up with our Lousiana friends, Mark and Sue Didelot, and head to the weekend camping outing with the Gulf Coast RV Group at the Country Place campground in Cut'n'Shoot, TX.
