Birders 2019

 The kids will be arriving back home in Missouri today. They had fun in south Texas. Speaking of fun; last night Butch and I watched a Netflix Documentary called 'Birders'. It was about birding in the South Texas/Mexico area. We recognized most of the places they were featuring. It was filmed in 2019 but that was not a factor that took away from the enjoyment.

We are birders but on a casual basis. We give this a high rating.

PS: The Alamo Inn featured in the Documentary is across the street west from the El Dorado!

Even though I have been a follower of Thundercloud for more than 2 decades I sometimes pass over their newsletter. I didn't do that today and I might want to put my hands on this one. Butch's computer is sometimes erratic with the internet. https://www.thundercloud.net/infoave/new/a-usb-wifi-adapter-may-be-a-quick-and-easy-fix-for-your-internet-woes/#google_vignette

Where we are...

 Alamo Texas- See that tiny red dot on the bottom? 

Would you like to know more about it? Check it out here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamo,_Texas#Geography Some interesting facts : if we headed in a straight line south we are 9.1 miles from the Rio Grande river, our elevation is 82 feet above sea level, our population has more than doubled since 1990. Current population is 20,958. Enjoy!!

Visitors

 Our Missouri kids are here for a visit. Gary and Susan Brooker, Amanda Teeter and her two children, Elise 14, and Leo 11. We all have been busy. Yesterday we went to South Padre. Butch and I are familiar. We used to go down at least once a season and walk the beach, and eat shrimp at Dirty Al's. Covid changed many things and this is one of them as we had not been there since before covid. Maybe once with Renie and Alex but I do not remember specifically what year that was.

The kids love the beach so that is basically what we did. They have gone back today to do a bit more besides the beach. 

It is all about FEET!

Butch and I dressed for the sun but we forgot to protect our feet so we are struggling with sunburned feet. 

Put your right foot in...

Butch BEFORE the burn!
