Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our family and friends. We added a new twist to our life this year…we now have a house in Lewisburg, PA. It’s a cute little town just west of Kyle and his family. It’s full of little shops, nice places to eat and amazing fresh grocery stores to shop at. We still have The Pearl docked in Ithaca and Texas Pearl in Rockport so we have some great places to split our time between.

I read this online and it hit me as being so true that I just had to share it. I find it’s easy to tell when visiting with people who have traveled and who haven’t. It was written by Gio Evan, an Italian poet and songwriter.

Back in Texas

We had a wonderful fall in Pennsylvania with perfect weather and lots of fun time with family. If we’re lucky this trend will last through our winter in Rockport.
Our drive south was pretty uneventful. The only issue we ever experience is the traffic in Houston. It doesn’t seem to matter when we come through…the middle of the night or rush hour…it just sucks. We took the Sam Houston toll road this time and missed some of the chaos. We stopped for dinner at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in town before tackling the boat.

Our dehumidifiers didn’t work this year so the mildew was crazy. I had to wipe down all the walls, doors and cabinets before I could go to bed. After a few days of cleaning and doing laundry we are looking back to normal.
Our first Rockport sunset of the season.
We’ve been waiting since last March to have these wonderful shrimp rolls at Latitudes. We tried all summer to make them, but we couldn’t even get close.
The evenings have been beautiful, but the days are still a little too warm for us.

Our Texas home is a beautiful place…at least in the winter. These wonderful photos were taken by John Martell. Looking out into Aransas Bay toward Rockport Beach.
