This morning, while walking the dogs, we met another boater named Candy out on her bicycle. She kindly drove us to the RV park with the only laundry machines in town with our 2 loads, and we popped them in the dryer just in time to walk next door to the only church in town...Baptist. The pastor was wonderful and talked about how Christians need to be salt and light...especially at Christmas! We don't need to preach to people, just be an example...a happy person who has peace through Christ. Who wouldn't want that! They're having a Christmas Eve service and afterwards, we'll have snacks and cookies and go caroling! FUN! It's a very small church (30) in a very small town (3-700), and we met a lovely couple, Wanda and Ron, from....Springfield, MO! They came down here on vacation a few years ago and bought a waterfront house before they left! They're cattle and horse ranchers who now spend winters here, and their kids are coming down this week. They took us back to pick up our clean clothes and gave us a tour of the town! There are small deer EVERYWHERE, and completely fearless! I've never seen anything like it! It'd be fun to let the dogs run, but somebody might get hurt! The deer may be small, but about half of them have HORNS!
Daren and I had lunch across the road at Pelican's and it was great food! They have fantastic shrimp and fish (drum) down here! We signed right up for their Christmas prime rib dinner! Daren stayed to watch football, and I came back to the boat to ck on the dogs and make gluten-free bread (Bob's Red Mill Wonderful Bread Mix). Candy came by to take me back to Pelican's to meet her husband, Orvil. They've been down to Belize and the Rio Dulce (sweet) River hurricane hole in Guatemala. She had gorgeous photos, and gave us lots of great tips!
I spoke with Mom tonight, and she wanted to know our address. It's
C/O WCND
630 Laguna Drive
Port Mansfield, TX 78598
Not that I'm soliciting Christmas cards, but some of you asked where we'd be.
Have a fun week before Christmas, and let your Light shine! : )
