Oysters, Happy Hours, Crawfsih, and a Craft show. A Crazy busy week.

 

Our time here is Texas is drawing to a close. It is a busy time as many of our friends are leaving next week and so we have had celebrations and even a Crafts show in the clubhouse. We would not do any of this if we did not feel safe and we do because most of our friends have had their covid shots, (in our group of seventeen only two are not yet vaccinated.

Our Happy Hour Group has learned quite a bit about oysters. We now have four more shuckers and so it takes no time at all to shuck half a sack of the delicious morsels.

On a personal level I have learned how to make oyster Rockefeller and oysters in a garlic butter sauce, so I prepare three dozen for each oyster fest.

We have now had three oyster Happy hours and I am regaining some of the weight I had lost

.

John and Nina put on a breakfast feed of biscuits, sausage and gravel and Renita and I volunteered to help. I helped Alan to cook the scrambled eggs and both of us helped to dish out the food. It was excellent!

We also have had our first craft show of the year, and while it was smaller than the usual one it was a success.

It was combined with annual trash to treasure event and so all the tables were filled, with the craft show being on the window side.

The third event of the week was a crayfish and shrimp boil, hosted by Alan and Zita, in which the morsels were prepared with varying amount of spice. The hot crayfish, (spicy), were exactly right to the ones that love heat, and that includes me. There were quite a few cooks and so we stayed away from the broth.

So, before we all leave a hearty thank you to all shared the winter with us and who stayed safe, we will see you down the road!

Ps If you are curious about the rv full time lifestyle see the movie “Nomadland”. While our lifestyle is not exactly like all of the movie, we have made friends with many who live in every type of rv imaginable. Not all work camp and we do not consider ourselves as working even though we prospect. make cabochons and sell at some juried art and craft shows, (Are you working if you love what you are doing?).
