Spring Break Called Off

The dark cloud followed us to Padre Island and spring break has been cancelled. We were there yesterday.

Mission, TX update

We braked for the Texas War Memorial in Mission

There were memorials for each of the great wars since WWII.
This one was for Vietnam and showed all the various units.

What's wrong with this picture? We are wearing the same coats we
had on when we left Minnesota when it was -9F. The
Benston Rio Grand Valley State Park is located walking
distance from the RV park where we are located.

The World Birding Center is located in the park. Lots of
birders out taking pictures despite the bad weather.
A bobcat was spotted when we entered the park and
someone got a picture of it.

Helpful hint for RV owners

When winterizing your RV be sure to run the anti freeze through both the hot and cold water lines in the kitchen sink or one of them might freeze up. If you are in Mission or McAllen, Texas when your line breaks due to freeze up go to Bert Ogden RV Repair. If you can't get a replacement faucet Jose will solder the broken line for $93.00. Up North this would probably cost $400.00.

Mexico

Don S and I were in Mexico today planning the next
DWU Bad Boys Reunion.

 

Finally found some sun today In Mission, TX.
But it may be short lived.

Last week we were in San Antonio for four days where
Barb was taking a workshop. I was waiting in the parking
lot at the South Texas Medical Center when this deer happened by.

He had a pretty good rack. The only thing I had to shoot
was a camera.

Eagle Pass revisit

I visited the UMC book discussion group that I met with
last year: Peggy, Pastor Becky and Glennis.

 We left Minnesota on Sunday when it was -9 and we are searching for warmer weather. We are in San Antonio where Barb is taking a workshop and we still haven't found warm weather as it was in the high 30's in SA.

I motored on down to Eagle Pass today and got reacquainted with my friends from when we were there a year ago.

The other member of the group is Juliet.

These Eagle Pass Evening Lions Club members met me for lunch: Martin, Pete and Raymond. They are preparing for the International Friendship Festival that starts in a couple of weeks.
