New life

Yesterday's park auction appeared to be very successful when what arrived as one man's junk departed as another mans treasure. As I said yesterday, and was seconded by several readers, auctions are no place for the weak of will. My staying home was a testament to my will power or lack there of.


Today there is very little scheduled in the park as the season begins to wind down. Several folks will wind up there Winter Texan season in the next couple of weeks. Some will even leave early enough to catch that last winter blast and then will wonder what possessed  them to leave so early. Happens every year. 


One thing about this park that is unique to other parks is the summer get together. The original owners of the park were from Iowa and many of the first visitors to J-5 were also from Iowa so they decided to meet back home each summer for camping and a get together. The park down here even participates by providing meat for the cookout in the north. 


Today the wind has stopped and the temperature is in the mid seventies so it looks like a good day for some strolling and visiting while enjoying the good life.

  1. So, Joe, how are you liking that new recliner that you got? I've been thinking about one, but can't decide. Any advice, since you've just been looking at different ones yourself?

  3. Russ, I don't really know how to answer your question. What I got is working for me, but it is dual purpose, both office chair and recliner. It meets all my need and naps well. I don't use the foot rest because it is easier to just use the adjacent couch rather than deploy the manual footrest. The problem you might have is there is no test drive with this chair, you buy it with a no return policy. You might want to see what is available close to home first. By the way, my life is a senior moment, so I can relate.

  4. I'm planning on heading to Pa in April & I'm afraid even then, it'll be too cold for me! I'm trying to figure out what to call an opposite snow bird? I'm going up to spend the summer & escape the Texas heat this year.
