hi,
 First!! We went to Rockport today and stopped and ate at Steve Lews BBQ, and it was the best we have ever had!!! the brisket , sausage, pulled pork were all melt in your mouth and not drenched with sauce. Amazing!! I was so impressed that I checked to see if I could ship some to our friends and family but they aren't set up tp do it yet. It's run by a family, the dad takes the order, the son ( maybe 15yr old) slices the meat and pulls the pork, one daughter gets the sides , another runs the register and the mom clears tables and talks to the customers.  young kids and a real great place.

 we had written a couple of long blogs but they crashed when posting and we got fed up and to be honest nothing really exciting has happened for a few days. Yesterday Linda and I sat on the beach for a few hours. I had a ball as they had big graders and a few loaders scraping and moving sand.  The grader would just move sand back and forth across the beach for 1/2 mile or so and then head back, I guess he was actually flattening the beach but I have no idea why. You can drive on the sand but it's quite hard anyway. Well, i had fun watching.
In case it didn't make the last blog, folks we met in New Orleans showed up earlier this week and we have spent time with them. Today on our way home we got call from other folks we met and befriended in NOLA.  They were close to us and didn't like the park they had picked so wanted to know where we were and ended up coming here. They walked over and we chatted for quite a while. They may come back this evening but will be back in the AM so we can play and visit. This is a blast! Mom, they are the ones from near Dawson.
One thing keeps getting proven to me and that is it is a small world. When we were at a quilt shop this morning we found out that the woman waiting on us was from Bristol, ME. This happens quite often and it's fun to find out what got the folks to move away from Maine and it varies all over the place.
Now that I have dumped everything in my mind, I'll slide the contraption over to my Valentine so she can write the important stuff. 
Not much to add-our days have been busy, but doing what, just the normal stuff.  Plus we have been biking, and riding around our new home, and visiting with our new neighbors.
Hope all is well you everyone.  Chat with you again soon.  Love-linda & Russ
