Our RV Adventures

Well, it looks the rain is over for a while. In fact today was sunny and in the low 70’s, so very nice for a change.

Jan and I headed out about 1:30pm for our daytrip down to Beeville, but our first stop was the Karnes County National Bank in Kenedy. I had set up my online banking account there a couple of weeks ago, but then the next time I tried, the system wouldn’t let me in, and said there was a problem with my user name. Well, since I use RoboForm to store my logins and passwords, I knew they were right.

And as far as I can tell, there’s no way to reset it online, or even a number to call. And although it took a while at the bank they were finally able to get it straightened out and working out.

And maybe because of my above problem, I ordered some checks while I was there since it wouldn’t let do it online. It said it couldn’t verify my identify.

Now with both these chores done, we headed out on the 30 mile trip south down to Beeville. Our first stop was the Beeville Diner, a place recommended to us by Nancy, our RV parks owner a few weeks ago. And boy was she right.

Though the Yelp reviews were hit and miss, with some 1 star reviews and some 5 star ones. And it seems the 1 star ones were mostly due to bad service.

But that was not our experience.

We were seated immediately and our drink orders taken. And when our drinks were brought out a couple of minutes later, the young lady took our food order.

Jan and I both ordered salads, and we split an order of their Sweet Tangy Golden Sauce Wings.

Jan said these were the best wings she’s ever had. And I concur. And believe me, we’ve eaten a LOT of wings over the years.

They had a crunchy crust and the sauce was delicious. I would have liked them a little hotter, but I can do that myself.

Jan got the Avocado Salad with Crispy Chicken,

while I got the Berry Nut Salad with Crispy Chicken.

Both were delicious, and very big. Almost too big to finish.

Beeville Diner was really good, and worth another trip back down to Beeville.

Next up was our movie pick, Arrival, which started at 4pm. Starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, the word of mouth has been really good on this picture, a story about 12 alien ships landing about the world, and the race to learn to communicate with them.

Amy Adams plays Louise Brooks, a linguist, who is recruited along with Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), a theoretical physicist, to decode the alien’s message.

This is a ‘thinking’ science fiction movie, more in the line of Matt Damon’s “The Martian”, rather action movies like Star Wars’ robots and rayguns. There’s a lot going on in this movie, with a big twist at the end, that completely changes how you see the story.

Well worth seeing, and actually a movie I’d like to see again, because I’m sure there are things we missed.

So a really good movie.

Go See It.
