Tuesday evening

We did not go on the cruise yesterday. When Dennie called to make the reservations the gal told him they were not going out until Thursday even though there were 8 of us wanting to go..... so we ran a few errands and came home for the afternoon. Later in the afternoon Larry and Sherry stopped by for "happy hour". Sherry downloaded a birding program on our computer. It was fun last night to check it out!

We watched the KU game on TV last night and joggled between our Monday night comedy shows....

This am we got around and drove over to Harlingen to visit our "Great Bend" friends, Larry and Earlene. We visited with them a little bit...Earlene wanted to show me the quilts she is in the process of finishing and the one she made. Then we took a ride over to Padre Island and ate lunch at Daddy's..... boy the shrimp is STILL GOOD!!!! Then we drove to Brownsville to the ship docks and stopped at a Shrimp Outlet and bought or we split a bag of HUGE shrimp. I'll post the pictures below to make you drool! We then drove into Brownsville past the building of the oil rigs being built to go into the Gulf.... very neat! We stopped at another fish market which was a "real fish market"...... they had all kinds of fresh off the dock fish and shrimp..... The shrimp there were just as big and we cheaper.... We will definitely go back and get some before we head to Ks! These shrimp are big enough to grill. At the shrimp outlet the gal told us how to grill the shrimp.... fry bacon until almost done, wrap a jalepeno pepper with cream cheese in it around the bacon and shrimp and then put it on the grill for a few minutes....sounds great!

So that is what we have done the past couple of days! Enjoy the pictures of the shrimp! I placed a "scrubbie" next to the shrimp to get a comparison as to how large the shrimp are...these were called Colossal...they are that for sure!

Until next time!
