 Our time here at Palmdale rv park is running short. We are leaving April 3rd and going to Braunigs rv park in San Antonio tx for a few days. We had to change some plans due to extreme flooding around Kanas City/St Joseph area from the Missouri river. So no Big Bend or Guadalupe National Parks for us this year. Maybe next year...We just didn't want to get caught being someplace we had no business being in. Nebraska is horribly flooded also. So we are going to head towards north east texas  and then try and get into the Hot Springs National park in Arkansas and maybe even do some diamond hunting at the nearby state park there and then work our way towards Branson Mo. . We will probably have enough time to stop at Kevins for a few days before heading to Pine Harbor. We just hope to have good weather and no flooding on the roads. Todd and Beth, John and Laurie will all be leaving a couple of days after we leave. Our time together will soon be over and we will surely miss them. Somehow, we have not managed to run out of things to talk about.. Tom and Todd went out into the bay fishing on a charter. Tom had sea sick issues for some of the charter ride due to rolling water and no fish were brought home this time so tonight we are all off to Kellys Irish Pub for a fish dinner! Us ladies have been spending a fair amount of time in the pool due to the weather being much warmer recently than it has been all winter.

Mel's Honky Tonk dance hall and pub. My kind of place. Hanging diamond saddle used as a chandler. 

Todd, server, tom and john  at Palm St restaurant. she labeled them 1-2-3. too funny. nice place on the water

Happy birthday to Wade yesterday. 15 already! We have had extreme weather here of late. 90's last weekend, cold front came in then 38/50 and 60 for a few days. now 90 again today! Very windy too! went  back to south padre island yesterday. spring breakers have started to arrive so a bit busier. our goal was to find new bars on the beach and we did. Went to tom and jerry's, wanna wanna, boomerang billys, louies and finally Kelly's irish pub for dinner. it was delious! nice day on the island. gulf very choppy.  There was a block party here at the campground on thurs. Campground provided the hamburgers and everyone brought a dish to pass. lots of food and people and the food ran out! We helped out, tom grilled and I helped with set up and clean up. we went to the street fair again in Harlingen, fun music and crafts.

choppy gulf of mexico! spring breakers were hiding!

cold enough for a fire one evening.

 Oopps,  here it is march and I haven't posted for a long time. Feb. was fun, we managed to find our way to the island a couple of times and mexico once. I spent much of the month in the water for water exercise class most mornings for an hour and a half. We all did as a group some driving around searching for a new campground for next year and settled on Winter Haven in Brownsville. They had  a nice  spot for all 3 of us so we booked it. Seems like a nice campground and appear  to have a ton of activities to keep us busy. Also, close to the Island and we all love the Island. We found a new place to hang out there, Longboards. Fun, on the water and great food and music.

Claytons on the Beach, fun place and music. and right on the Gulf!

Gulf of Mexico

Damn wind always blows!

New friends Jo and Dave from Mn. and Jan and Phil from Tn. Fun day playing Giant Jenga at John and Lauries. We should all be meeting up again in Nov. in Gulf Shores. 

Flowers everywhere at Palmdale Rv park

Mexico here we come!

Excellent meal for Beth and I at Red Snapper in Progreso Mexico. Tom not so much, red snapper was quite spicy!
