the tale of Woody

Once upon a time in an RV park full of fun people escaping Winter, there lived a Mr. and Mrs. in a 5th wheel trailer.  Neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. got a sweet little puppy and it made Mrs. want a sweet little puppy of her very own.  But Mr. did NOT want a dog and said “NO dog!!!” to his Mrs.  All of the RV park soon knew of this.

Then one day, Mr. and Mrs. went away for a few days.  When they returned, there was a little wooden dog on their doorstep!  Mr. set the dog to the side of the concrete parking pad. 

On another day, Mr. and Mrs. returned to find that the dog had a sign around his neck – “Woody” – so now the dog had a name.  Often when Mr. and Mrs. went away, they returned to find that Woody had more stuff…a collar, a leash, a water bowl, a bone, a kerchief.  Sometimes he moves to different places on the site – a dog needs a bit of variety.  One day there was a small pile of poop wood shavings and Mr. and Mrs. were in a bit of hot water for not picking up!  But the park forgave them after it got cleaned up.  And then this Christmas, when they were gone an entire week, Woody acquired a dog house…

Now, I don’t know if Mr. and Mrs. and Woody and all of the people at the rv park are going to live “happily ever after” but I do think that they know how to have fun! And, of course the moral of the story is that nothing stays “secret” in an rv park…

Around Rockport

I took Karl for a morning walk next to the RV park and found a road that leads down to the water. Cloudy, cool and overcast but still beautiful.

Sea grass – what color up close!
