ATTENTION: POC LADIES! The next session of Bunco will be Tuesday, July 5th in the back room of the Community Center. Starting at 7:00 p.m., women are cordially invited to join an interesting and totally eclectic group of women, who have a great amount of fun playing. No stringent requirements in order to play; just the ability to count the spots on the dice and have fun. Hostesses in July will be Joyce Jordan and Sue Kubecka, and they are planning something really special. Call Shirley Gordon at the Library for further information, 983-4365.
Went to Clark’s the other day for lunch; it was so pleasant to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the view of the barges and other boats going up and down the Intercoastal. The menu now offers a variety of dishes prepared in the Mexican cuisine, and the food is quite good.
Have you had a chance to read the listing of fishing tournaments scheduled in Port O’Connor this Summer? Wow! Just hope the gas prices drop a little more to help the local fishermen.
Does anyone know a good “Rain Dance” that works? We could really use the rain! Moderately, of course.
I’ve heard from several people that Jocelyn’s, the restaurant replacing Toastie’s, has an excellent menu and is open all day. Particularly good, if after a long day, cooking dinner is not on your list.
The Redfish Rodeo brought many entrants and families here to watch the action; also on the same weekend was the tournament with a musical festival to benefit Warriors’ Weekend. Hope the fish didn’t go on vacation and were able to provide boasting rights to all the fishermen. Headquarters for the Redfish Rodeo once again was Hurricane Junction and “Hoop” was the gracious host providing some delicious food for the participants.
Speaking of Hurricane Junction, have you seen the latest “Hoopism”? “Don’t cry over spilt milk, it could have been beer!”
Did you hear about the small dog abandoned in a culvert by Speedy Stop? The animal was found by a very alert individual who rescued the dog from the inside of a tied plastic bag!
Early Wednesday morning I was sitting on the deck at our RV, drinking coffee, and thinking about this column. It was approximately 6:30 a.m. that morning, the sun was just rising and the air was still somewhat cool and refreshing, and traffic on the Intercoastal was limited to several barges and a few fishermen. Getting up to replenish my coffee cup, I could not help but wonder if this was truly not a form of Paradise.
