More Ship Hector Days

It was the last Pirate Day at the Quay for the season.  The kids love making their own pirate ship and Pirate John is always around to give them pointers.


Ralph, the donation pirate tried to eat Will's arm, but he managed to get away.

It is Ashley's last day so it was good bye time....



Darlene, Ashley, Brian, Kathy, Jordan, Joyce and Brandan.

Ashley wanted to get some sound effects for her video of the windless turning so Brandon and Will got on the windless and tried to coordinate turning so that center black bar would do it's click click thing.  It was more laughs and talking so Kathy gave a try; that was hard work!

With lots of emotions there was one final goodbye with Ashley.

Today is also Christine's last day as Pictou Ambassador.

Ashley, Keith, Christine, Kathy and Brandan.


Christine enjoyed her smoothie lunch while Brandan looked on wondering how someone could drink on of those!

We went for drinking coffee with Keith at the Stone Kitchen and talked and talked of this and that.

On our way to MacIntosh's we dropped off some blackberries with Keith; he had talked about his famous blackberry pies he made and that the west coast blackberries were so good; now he could try some east coast blackberries.

Darlene had made a chicken pot pie; it was sooo good. The biscuit on top was just the right amount of flaky and inside was just the right amount of juicy.

Here are a few different angles of the ship Hector...

Houston Fest Galax, VA

Image
We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose missio...

Navy Buddies

Image
Today is a good day to drive! We drove across Amarillo, TX to visit with Will's Navy buddy, Ron.  We found him in the same park we had met him in about ten years ago. These two men met fifty years ago aboard The USS Platte.  ( Platte  made almost yearly deployments to the western  Pacific Ocean  from 1960 to 1968, including extensive operations in  Vietnamese  waters and refueling the  USS  Enterprise  (CVN-65)  task group off Korea during the  Pueblo incident . Platte served with the Pacific Fleet into 1970. She was sold for scrapping on 14 May 1971.)   Ron suggested La Fiesta Grande for an early dinner, a great Mexican place.  It was fun listening to the stories all starting with, "Do you remember...." We dropped Ron back off at home and met Don, a neighbor. See you again somewhere sometime, Ron. Okay, so check out these drinks that were delivered to the next table!

Our Own Palm Tree

Image
December 15, 2007 We woke parked at the Walmart; we have a nice spot we like way off to one side where we face a little lawn and have our own palm tree. Not many people park in this area because it is farther to walk into the store; at night a few other overnighters park in the lot, but they park up with the trucks so we pretty much have this area to ourselves. From there we drove to Victor Park, a community park with tennis courts, picnic area and fields for sports. The restrooms were locked, but no biggie as we have our own facilities. Will started up the generator and worked on a letter to the Chevy Guy in New Brunswick he has been formulating in his mind ever since we left Canada. The Roadtrek just stopped one day and we had to have it towed and lucky for us it was to a Chevy repair garage. We had our fuel tank fixed and they cut the fill tube. Roadtrek had designed a specialty one they didn’t have so they just jury rigged one. Fixed they said; we paid the bill of over a thousand d...
