Another quiet morning in the White household. But whatever, it was nice. For most of the morning, we both goofed with reading and Internet stuff. We didn’t walk, feeling that we had made up for it with yesterday’s 2.05 miles walking/shopping at Wal-Mart.
For some reason we can walk a lot farther, a lot easier, in Wal-Mart that around the park. But hey, 2 miles is 2 miles.
About 2pm Jan started working on the batch of Funeral Potatoes she was taking to Dennis and Carol’s this afternoon. Pretty easy to put together, and then just pop it in the convection oven.
Jan and I headed out for Livingston, and Dennis and Carol Hill’s at the Escapees Park there. On our way out of the park,l I stopped off at the clubhouse/activity center to drop off my last full bundle of Gypsy Journal RV Newspapers. This, of course, is the much-fabled 100th Issue Collector’s Edition, the last one on paper.
From now on, it’s all digital, all the time.
We got to Dennis and Carol’s about 4:45, and soon after, the other guests show up.
From left to right: Dennis, Jim, Carol, in back of Mark, my Jan, Kim, the other Jan. It appears that other Jan’s husband, Dave, has wandered off.
Lucky for us, Dennis’ ‘Smoking A Butt’ did involved pork, and boy, was it good. Along with Kim’s Grilled Beans with Bacon and Cheese Bacon Biscuits, Carol’s Cole Slaw, and my Jan’s Funeral Potatoes, it was a really great meal.

As far as liquid refreshment, Dennis had a nice selection of adult libations, so I decided to try a Redd’s Green Apple Ale. And now I have a new favorite grownup beverage. In addition, when I gave Jan a taste, I had trouble getting the bottle back. Now we want to try their other flavors, Apple Ale and Strawberry Ale.
After a really nice evening, and saying our goodbyes, we headed back to Conroe, taking with us Dennis’ lovely parting gifts of his delicious smoked pork.
We got back to Lake Conroe a little before 9:30, wrapping up a very nice day.
Tomorrow we head out for the Clear Lake area for Jan’s final wrap-up doctor appointment. Then I’ve got a couple of clients to visit to take care of some computer problems they’re having.
