Epilogue, Pacific Northwest 2011 - Friday, September 23, 2011

I should take a class in Living in Port Isabel, so that I would know how.  Maybe it will all come back to me.   What I do remember is that we walk Jake at 7 AM.  Now that the days are getting shorter, it is not quite daylight this morning when we look out the window, but we see the sun beginning to show its face.   We take a few minutes to check Facebook.

At the beginning of our walk we see Lorraine enjoying the morning by washing her car.

Susan's bougainvilleas.

A new restaurant that we should visit.

We can tell the time by where we meet Speck on North Shore Drive every morning.  Whereas, we make a loop around town with Jake, Speck walks six times up and down only North Shore to equal his two miles.


We always look forward every day to meeting him and visiting in the middle of the street, and finding out all the news since we last saw him.


He and Jake look forward to the encounter also, as Jake gets his 'get petted' fix, and Speck gets his 'get to pet Jake' fix.

Later in the day Herb takes Willie's Tug out into the Laguna Madre to get his cruising fix. 

Find Willie's Tug
