Down In The Valley....

And we are today...  about 475 south of Ft Worth...  clear down to the Rio Grande River.  Well, almost.  I think we're about 7 miles from the river, but that's okay....  it took us 2 days to get from daughter Celeste's down to here...  and we can say "We're on the road again".  

Looky here...  outside...  sunshine...  door's open!  

If I'd turned the camera around you'd see me in shorts and a tee-shirt.

I mean... how much better can it get?

We're now at Alamo, Texas....  kind of between Pharr and La Feria...  or if you have a map.... we're just west of Padre Island.  We're just a few miles from the Mexican border...  and I intend to head there soon and get a dental checkup.

But...  today...  got here around 11:30...  Alamo Rose RV Park.  A place we've stayed here several times in the past.  It's probably not the cheapest place in the valley to stay, but to us, it's familiar, it's comfortable...  and it's kind of "home".  Not much more to say....

Things do change, though....  We headed across the street to a place that was a bakery and they made their own tortillas, etc...  Since we were here last year it's changed.  Now that place is a restaurant....  just opened yesterday.  Well, heck...  we don't eat out much....  But they told us where the bakery has relocated.  We walked back home...  got the car and headed out...

Found it quite easily...  ordered our tamales for Christmas Dinner.  Okay...  if you have the traditional turkey or ham or whatever, that's just fine.  But we're probably the most untraditional folks you'll ever meet, so don't scoff at our dinner of tamales and champagne.  Hey...  we're well over the legal age, cut us a break.

I'll cut this short...  we're here....  we'll be here for a month...  everything's fine.

Wish we could be with all 4 of our kids, but that just won't happen...  sooooo...

This will be okay....

Just think...  we'll see green jays, altamira orioles and who knows what all....

That's All For Today!
