Lemonade And Cookies


Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas

The Blood Letting Team got right on the job this morning.  The Blood Center had no one waiting when the OFM got there, but they were very short handed today. The Blood Center director did the pre-loss paper work on the OFM.  Then it was wait a few minutes as the techs were taking care of another chore somewhere in the building.

When they got to the OFM, things went very smoothly.  Eventually a total of three techs participated in the OFM’s blood loss.  As usual everyone was exceptionally friendly and professional.  The circus tent size T-shirt that is required to get around the OFM was presented. That is a four piece panaroma below.

Then it was time for lemonade and a cookie before the Teams hit the road. Since we were in Corpus Christi we did stop at the Academy to browse some. Less than four dollars left the OFM’s pocket.  Back on the road the OFM was thinking about food.  As it that is anything different than usual. It dawned on him that the Teams would be going past a very good buffet in Aransas Pass and the techs had told him to have a “HEARTY LUNCH”.  Naturally the Truck voted for that idea.

When lunch was finished the Teams meandered past the Rockport harbor to see how the tent mess was doing. There is an event next weekend called the “Sea Fair” to help the tourists leave money in the area.  It will be a big show from the looks of things.

The kiters were having a ball out from the beach.  They zoom this way, then zoom that way and sometimes have spectacular explosive discombobulating events that are exciting to see.

By now the OFM was feeling the loss of blood so the Teams headed for the Castle and the rest of the day goofing off.  Tomorrow he should be ready for some more trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.

  1. Congratulations on the Blood Loss Barney. For years I always wanted to do that but it wasn't until the passing of my late wife that I could do the deed. Last Saturday my Donation count stands at 80. Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

    1. I have been donating all over the country so I have no idea what my count is. Estimate a minimum of four to six times a year for 45 years now.
