Through the Green Gate

We moved to Green Gate Grove today. (Just couldn't resist the allusion to the Alice and Jerry readers of my primary school days.) Fortunately, the rain, which had fallen more or less steadily all night, eased off and quit this morning, allowing us to pack up relatively dry--although rather chilly. The high yesterday was 89°. Today it barely made 69°.

We were also fortunate that most of our neighbors have not yet arrived in the RGV, so we were able to position the Majestic without benefit of an audience and lots of advice! That's good, because it took a few tries before we hit the sweet spot. We have to avoid hitting the corner of our canopy while also avoiding the high curb across the street. With Ken's guidance, we finally slotted it in there just right.


Hardy came over to welcome us to the neighborhood. He and Judy had been over to Mexico with a group of our friends (maybe 20). They went to Santiago's new "Spot"--a bar that Hardy described as basically featuring a roll-up garage door. After the usual great margaritas and other refreshments, they went to the Red Snapper for lunch. He also got his shoes shined--a first for him--and was very pleased with the results.
