Two more days here

We have two more days here. Then move. Tomorrow we are going to try and go to Port Isabel. They have a lighthouse there. Also will probably go to South Padre Island. After we move we want to go back down that way and go to the zoo at Harlingin. Also there is a statue of Iwo Jima at the Harlingin Airport I want to see. They say the one in DC is modeled after this one.  We went to the flea market down the road a little Got just a couple of things. Tonight we went to church and then Walmart after that. Thelma fixed Tilapia for supper. Pretty good. She got some fish seasoning at the market and used that. Made it taste pretty good. I could have ate another piece. Well guess that's it for tonight. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

What to say

Well today we didn't do much. We had a couple come here and talk about Sky Med. We have signed up for it. At least for 2 yrs. They had Pizza Hut pizza for lunch. Was pretty good. After that Thelma did laundry. Again.  Earlier I had taken the truck down to put some air in one tire. Not sure if it is leaking or what. Will have  to watch it closely. We leave here next Tuesday to move to another campground. It is the one that we should have gone to first. It is called Rollin homes like this one. The lady there is originally from Fort Wayne. She worked with Bob Gurney at Johnny Appleseed campground. She manages this one. We are still checking out some campgrounds around here. Looking to see where we would stay if we come down here again. Depends on where the retiree rally is in 2 yrs. We have enjoyed our stay here It hasn't been to bad. They could use some work on some of the things. The WI fi has been good most of the time. I use the air card for part of my puter usage like banking and private emails. We are talking of going to South Padre Island on Sun. Need to get up early if we want to do that. It is a pretty good drive. They have a light house there and a few other things in that area. We also want to do the zoo at Harlingin Probably in Feb.  Guess that's about it for tonight later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Anniversary day

Today was the anniversary for us. Boy 49 seems like a long time. How young were we then. We went to Logan's steak house for supper. I had ground sirloin and Thelma had  Tilapia. It was pretty good. Earlier in the day we went to a dealer to pick up the knife safe. That is just a holder to put knives in. It will hang on the wall. Also got some rubber bushings for the stove grate. One was worn out so got a four pack. Also bought some lube for slide out gears. They are squeaking. Then went to HEB the grocery down here it is closer than Wally world. Then to Walgreen's.  Guess that's about it for tonight. I look at the weather back home and glad we are down here. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

A relaxing day

Didn't do much today. We had an appreciation dinner in the club house tonight  Brats potato salad , Cole slaw chips and brownies. Was pretty good. They also had a guy that played the guitar using a computer for his accompaniment. Other than that we just stayed around here. Tomorrow we go to a RV dealer to pick up a knife safe. We ordered it last weekend when we went to the show the dealer had. They had Heartland trailers. Saw some pretty nice ones. Lot of money. I wish I could afford to tell them I want this and that in a trailer. There were some plans that we liked certain areas of  but not all of it. We are also going to grocery and Walgreen's. Fri they are having someone here from Sky Med They are furnishing Pizza. and drinks I think. Thelma and I will probably go to Logan's tomorrow night for our anniversary. 49 yrs. Next year will be the golden one. Guess that's about it for tonight  Oh Bob Thelma said that she likes Bandidos better too. There is a Mexican restaurant down the road a ways and some people said it is good. So we will try and hit that before we move to another campground.  Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Missed last night

I got the pictures ready to put on last night and then forgot to do the blog. Oh well. Yesterday we did not do much except one load of laundry. Today we went for a FCRV valley wide luncheon. It was a buffet at Harold's country kitchen. They had a variety of food. Chicken and brisket was on the menu. The brisket was really good. Could cut it with a fork. Tonight Thelma and I went to a restaurant I got a Mexican plate. It was not all that good. Not very spicy. Told Thelma we had to go to a real Mexican  restaurant. She had taco salad and it was bland too. No spices. Tomorrow night they have an appreciation dinner here at the campground. Not sure what we will have.  I am going to post some pictures of the birds we saw Sunday

I wish I had a bigger zoom lens. Saw some guys with looked like 1000 zoom. If I hit the lottery I will get me one. The first one is a Vermilion Flycatcher, Then a great heron. We think. Didn;t have a book to write in when we took the tour. The one that fits right in with the wood is a common pauraque. It is a night bird. It lay  there  the whole time we stood and took pictures. Not sure if it was sleeping or just so used to people. We will do another state park next month when we move to Mission. Guess that's it for tonight. Later all

A birding day

This morning Thelma and I went to Embassy Suites for brunch. We had a coupon for buy  one  and two drinks and get the second brunch free. Good thing we had the coupon. It was expensive. Then we came back and changed clothes to go back to the State Park where we went on a tram. Electric 8 seater golf cart. They had two of them. We saw quite a few birds and one alligator. It was really interesting as the guide explained a lot about the area and how part of it flooded when on of the hurricanes sent a bunch of rain to the area. Tomorrow I will put pictures on . Didn't get them on tonight Tomorrow is laundry day so will do that while Thelma does laundry. Yes Bob it was at casa de sol. It was pretty good. Tomorrow they have one here at this campground. Tonight they had cake and ice cream for birthdays and anniversaries. Thought maybe they would ask how long you had been married but they didn't Guess that's about it for tonight. So did your team win today. I didn't really care. Saw the end of the first game and Thelma had the other one for a while but didn't hear who won.  Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Another good day

Today was a cool day. The furnace ran last night. Not sure just how low it got but tonight is supposed to be in the high 30 About  up to the 60s tomorrow. Today we went to a park just down the road about 11:30 and had lunch and then stayed for the jam session. This is where a bunch of different guy play guitars and people sing. They even had one guy play an accordion. it is one of those that is electric. Not like I had. We were they about 4 hrs. They played about 2 and half hours. We went a couple of weeks ago and decided to go again. After we move we will not go here as it will be to far. I'm sure there are others in the area where we are going. Think tomorrow we are going to a RV dealer that has an open house. Just curious to see what they have. Not the Montana dealer. Think he has cedar creek and maybe Cardinals. Well that's about it for tonight  Talked to Gary and today was his last day at the place he worked  His boss and another guy took he and Lisa out to dinner tonight. That was nice of them.  Okay  Later  all Ron Thelma and Eli who is standing on my lap while Thelma changes the bed sheets. That is another story
