It has been another fast busy week here in the Rio Grande Valley.... where the weather is finally becoming very pleasant and beautiful! The temps all week have been around 80-85. The wind has blown some but nothing very strong until today when it blew pretty good.
Since last Saturday was Bill's birthday we decided to drive over to Mission to our friends over there. The park was having a craft sale so I thought I wanted to see what they had I couldn't live without. Well, after being there about 5 min. I found nothing and we went to our friends Motorhome. Our other friends came over and we decided to go eat out for Bill's birthday. We went to BJ Brewery. We really like this place and they have really good food. There were 10 of us for lunch.
Monday morning early I went on a quilt shop hop bus trip to San Antonio with a couple of friends. We left at 5:30 and came home at 10PM!!!! It was a long day! We had fun and the bus trip was great. There were 49 ladies that shopped to their heart's content. I also got to see the AlamoDome, and the Riverwalk.
Tuesday morning, Larry/Sherry and Bill and I drove over to Laguna Atacosa Wildlife Refuge and drove around and did some birdwatching. We saw lots of birds and I got to mark several off my book. I will post some pictures below! We had a fun day and got home around 5 that evening. We of course had to stop and eat shrimp before we came home! Ohh....that shrimp is sooo delicious!
Wednesday, we cleaned and did laundry.... the fun stuff you know!
Thursday, 6 of us decided at the last minute to go eat at Willy's for lunch. Willy's is a great BBQ place in Alamo. The building is old and the pop/drinks are in an old old Cocola cooler...you know the old red kind! Their BBQ is absolutely fantastic! The sandwiches are huge and we all left full and stuffed, raving about how good it was! Thursday evening, Karen and I went to bingo..... I always "contribute" it seems..my luck is terrible! But Karen won one game winning $10!!!!
Saturday, Dennie and Karen,Bill and I drove to Padre Island to check out the stores and also eat more shrimp! It was very foggy so we didn't drive on the beach this time.... we ate shrimp at Dirty Al's...the best shrimp! and then drove to a National Historic Battlefield in Palo Alto where the war between the States and Mexico began. Stay tuned when we go back to Brownsville this week.!
Today after church it was "chicken Sunday" again so we went to Larry/Sherry to eat chicken. The lines are sooo long around 11 and we are glad to get there by 10:20 or so. We drove over to Dodge Arena to see if our tickets for the hockey game were ready and they weren't so we came home. Bill has watched both football games today so he is happy! I have ironed and did some things around here...catching up I guess.
So that is about our week...I will try to write more daily as my daughter Megan, tells me she checks daily to see what we have done! Ok Megan I will try for you! ;)
We are going on a small 4 hr. cruise around to Brownsville on Monday....stay tuned!
Until next time!
