2025-5-19 Rockport Rally - the end

Okay, normally our rallies end with a hitch-up breakfast which as a hostess, I sometimes don't have because you just never know how many women to plan for. Some get up and go real early if they have a long way to go, some are in the middle of packing up, and some just want to sleep in. This particular hitch-up breakfast was going to be served up by the chapter officers. We had plenty left over from the brunch was it was a big spread instead of just bagels, cream cheese, and coffee.

But was the rally really over??? Well, some women were staying through at least Tuesday so Jimmie offered to have a fish fry Monday night. She spends most of her time here in Rockport and is a big fisher person so she had some fish she caught in her freezer. Hmmm.  A lot of women immediately expressed interest so another fishing trip was scheduled for that day.

Elaine headed out with a small group and was thrilled with the fish she caught. They fished from the bank because the water out a little further was pretty rough for Jimmie's boat.

Jimmie decided we should also give blue crab a try as they are pretty popular here but those came from a local shop. Elaine, our chef extraordinaire, had never cooked live blue crab before.

Cookie stepped in to show her how you toss them in the pot without getting pinched. Can't you tell Elaine is not really into this part of the process?

In the meantime, Jimmie is busy frying up pieces of fish. We also had some really great hush puppies.

I made a Caesar salad and several others brought salads or desserts so we had another feast. Rita brought some great chicken drum sticks for those not really into fishy food, lol.

This time the actual rally was over. What a really fun time if I do say so myself......everyone else did too.
