Wednesday Happenings-Rockport, TX 3/8/2017

We goofed off this morning and didn't leave the motel very early. Headed into Rockport and stopped at the water's edge across from the Heron/Egret Rookery. Could not get really good pictures but maybe you will get the idea. The trees are all Live Oak and windswept. It is interesting to see what prevailing winds can do to trees

                                                   

  Walking back to the car I saw Tiki looking to see where I was. She is not shy about getting into the front seat. 
                                  

We left Rockport and drove to Aransas Pass. Just before getting there we found a park along the water. Spent a good bit of time there looking at the various Gulls.

SHRIMP BOAT

We started to drive to Port Aransas. the further we drove across the causeway the foggier it became. Not good for taking pictures so we turned around and headed back towards Rockport. Stopped for lunch

Before going back to the motel we stopped at the quilt store

Golden Needles and Quilts

Nice shop. Loved her models and looked like she had some fun classes. While I was inside browsing Galen found a few more things to photograph.

Since we had a big lunch-yes another crab cake with fries and onion rings we stayed in tonight and ate the salads I bought yesterday!  That gave the chance to finish the binding on one of the quilts I brought along to work on.

It is a scrap quilt I started early last year, put it aside when we started the remodel. Picked it up again early Fall. Had it quilted by my friend Kerry and now it is finished! 2 more to finish binding. One of those will be finished before we head home and hopefully will have started the last one before heading back to Round Rock.
