A Football Game!

WHERE ARE WE? Magnolia Beach, Texas

One of the things we do here on Magnolia Beach is a lot of nothing.  Archie likes to go for long walks on the beach and we make sure he gets some.  The weather is a little breezy and cool for the Texans, so we pretty much have the beach to ourselves.  


The other thing we do is watch ships go in and out of the bay.  There are generally 3 or 4 every day.


And then we just relaxed and had a wee nap.  I did do one wee small job.  Our inverter showed a short circuit and shut down so I had to track it down.  It seems that the short is in the actual inverter so I took it our and bypassed it for now.  We will use the generator for our 120V needs until I can get a new one.  No problem. This was a fairly cheap inverter (not that that is always bad), but I was not impressed with it right from day one.  I will find another one I'm sure.  I just hate spending like $2500 for one.  Maybe another cheap one and take a chance.  

Out with the old

Bypassed the wires and we are good to go.

We met up with our friend Sue this morning, and kinda invited ourselves to join them and their friends for supper and a football game.  We went to a football game with Randy and Sue a few years ago and enjoyed it.  Well we will tag along tonight again.  First thing was to go out for supper.  We went to a nice little restaurant that had lots of fish and shrimp on the menu.  Mmmmm.  I had Snapper and Shrimp with dirty rice and veggies.  Lots and lots of Broccoli!!   Hey, do you know the difference between snot and broccoli?...............Kids don't eat broccoli!!!  Bad joke!


Oh yes, we forgot that Sue and Randy have a white Jeep Sahara too. We are like twins!!


Tonight is Cancer Awareness at the Football game.  They even have a pink car for the event.  


The home team is the Port Lavaca Sand Crabs.  They are the local high school team but they play pretty good football.  It was a fun night     `    


Randy, Sue, Carol and Keb and Sue not paying attention.

The game was pretty much a blow out.  It was a complete shut out until the 3rd quarter when the Sand Crabs started playing their young B players.  They did really well, however they gave up a couple touchdowns.  Still almost a basketball score.


We had to stop at McDonalds for a wee treat on the way home and we looked across at the stadium which was empty already. They have pretty awesome facilities for sports in the south.



Sunset was from the our seat at the game.  Good Nite!!
