Thursday, several of us took off for the Texas side of Lake Texoma to check out Olivia's new boat. My friend Olivia lives in north Texas, winters in Rockport in her big Class C RV, and has a houseboat on Lake Texoma.
This is actually her second houseboat. She had one at a different marina last year. The dock caught on fire and her boat, along with her son's boat, and every other boat on that dock burned up. It happened so quickly that no one could do anything about it. Olivia got the very bad news while she was down south in Rockport last winter.
Her son was looking for another boat for her. He even sent her a video of one that he intended to get. when she got back home, he organized a big surprise party down at the new dock complete with a group of friends and lots of food. When he asked if she was ready to see it, she started down towards the far end of the dock. He told her to stop and turn around because her boat was right behind her. He had found this one and it was in much better shape than the other one.
Of course, she redecorated with new curtains and seat covers. She loves to fish and often spends the night here and fishes right from the back of the boat.
She had a bottle of champagne so we all toasted to her new part-time home and future fun.
