South Texas is Gorgeous!

And so are we! Anne and Linda trying to decide how to carry our new lumbar supports!

Dinner Monday night at Ann and Scottys.

Amy and Dan

Saturday morning a cold front came through very quickly and Jim didn't even want to go outside! We had planned on going to the Flea Market in Donna. More on that later. He did the breakfast dishes for me, washing and drying and putting away. I baked a ham and boiled some cabbage, carrots and potatoes for lunch. It sure warmed the house up and made it smell good.

After lunch we decided to head out to the mall. Anne wanted to go but Scotty didn't. We didn't make it that far, we stopped at Barnes and Nobles for a magazine and coffee break. It's a good way to spend time when you need a break from your rig.

We had happy hour with the Scott's and had a lot of fun drinking pina coladas. If I recall correctly Karen and Dave were there too. We all made plans to go the flea market on Sunday. With six of us Jim drove cuz we all fit in our truck!

Sunday turned out to be a gorgeous day. A bit chilly but the sun was out and after lunch we headed to the flea market. Jim is getting together all the components so we can have a screened porch on our rig. We want to be able to set it up and leave it in a high wind situation. Those happen quite frequently here in the valley. I found some Corella dishes to use at happy hour so we can avoid paper plates. Karen and Ann pitched in with the purchase though they didn't need to!

We ended up finding quite a few things to buy at the flea market. Anne took Karen and I across the street to the farmers market. We bought some fruit and veggies. Dave found some chairs with tables and that's where we found the lumbar supports.

The picture of Anne and I grinning like Cheshire cats was us being silly. We found these lumbar supports that work with lawn chairs and they were awkward to carry. We were finding the most suitable way to carry them! I just happen to have my camera with me LOL

Sunday evening we had a high school group entertain us at the clubhouse, Razz Ma Tazz. The young men and women sang and danced though several decades of Broadway show tunes and did a fine job! Two guys did the 'Who's on First' routine and it was hilarious! Towards the end they introduced themselves and told us of their future plans and ended the show with patriotic songs. We had ridden our bikes up and it was dark when we left. We need more lights for night riding!

On Monday I went for a short bike ride with Karen and Dave over in Bentsen state park. There was hardly any wind blowing and we got to see a lot of birds. Orioles, kiskadees, green jays. Of course we saw the javalinas too. On the way home I even saw a Caracara fly over...

Yesterday I went grocery shopping with Anne. I decided to have a shrimp boil! The weather was perfect for it. So I got all the ingredients together, shrimp, baby potatoes, and corn on the cob. While we were in the store we tasted some samples and one was white wine, we both decided it would be good with our shrimp dinner! The second picture is the table setting at Anne and Scotty's. It was a lot messier afterwards! The guys had beer and the gals drank the wine.

After we cleared the table we hopped on our bikes to head over to Amy and Dans place to say goodbye. The third picture is the newlyweds. They left this morning heading to Montana, slowly I hope!
