Bentsen RGV State Park

Late this morning Jim and I went for a ride in the State Park. We wanted to see first hand how much of the park was open and I'm happy to report that all the road ways are open so biking is a pleasure once again. The hawk tower trail is still closed as is the boat ramp to the resaca.

it would be nice to paddle around the resaca because it looks like the water is up a couple feet

This afternoon was the open house at Retama Village next door. They had free hot dogs, popcorn and cold water. We rode over and checked out the new house and a couple of the coach houses. We go every year so we didn't have to see everything. We ladies were getting over heated (temperature was above 80!) and decided we'd seen enough so led the way home.

Once home Jim, Pat, Anne and I sat on our patio enjoying the breeze and cold drinks. That beer sure tasted good! Vern and Scotty came over and enjoyed some cold beers too. Not sure how long the six of us sat there but we enjoyed the company of our friends.

For dinner we had tacos and I just had to take pictures of our sunset. Most of the pictures are on Facebook. It was a perfect ending to our beautiful day. It's hard to believe that in a few days we'll have freezing temperatures.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin
