Spectacular looking flower...I do not know what it is named. We have made our leaving plans...I think a week from tomorrow...the 17th we will be leaving the valley and heading for Carthage Mo.

This is pretty interesting. This tells you how long you'll probably live. No

You can count on one hand the number of 'winter Texans' left in the park. We will be leaving late next week...I think. I am ready to go...with all the people gone most of the fun is gone too. It means I have to get creative again to come up with things to do. The weather is something I do like, it is summer like to me. I believe the natives think this is Spring. We have planned a last trip to Padre and I am assuming the water will be warm enough to wade in the ocean. There are a few grocery items I will load up on as I know they are not available north of here. There are also some things I am greatly looking forward to getting back to such as Diet Squirt and Iowa chops. As the time gets nearer the desire increases for these things...absence makes the heart grow fonder! The flower in this picture is from an Olive Tree.

Last night on the news we were informed that beginning in 2008 everyone would need a passport to ENTER the United States at all points along the border including Progreso.

Along about January 1, 2008 it could get real messy at the border with US citizens piling up in Progreso like cordwood.


Here is a site where you can find out where to get a passport. http://iafdb.travel.state.gov/

I played golf yesterday. Yes, I know that is a shocker. It was good in places and not so good in places. ...And my back hurts today. In the future, I will have to assess if the pain is worth it.

I purchased this frog in Mexico with the intent of potting a mosquito plant in it. He is a handy place to put my visor in the meantime. Looks mighty cute in it too!

Happy Easter Everyone!!

When you have been in the south long enough for 60 degrees to mean a severe cold front has went through 40 degrees seems downright frigid. We have decided to stay in the valley awhile longer and then we have a few minor things to get taken care of on the motorhome in Carthage MO. So we plan to leave here about the 15th of April and stop in Carthage for a short time and then to the Atlantic Iowa area to get our annual med stuff in order. It is a question mark from then on...but then that has been how we have lived so far so why change now!

Butch was gone for a week skiing with Gary, Jason and others. I was quite busy every day so the time went quick. At any rate he is back in the warm Rio Grande Valley and we have made the decision to sit tight for awhile to see what happens to fuel prices. It is so nice to have the freedom to make that decision. Today we toured an Aloe Vera farm. Learned lots of new stuff about Aloe Vera. I would recommend the tour to all.

On the patio, just now.
