Deleted Sunday post by mistake

We left for church about 7:45. Island Baptist had a good service. Message from Psalm 1. Who we spend time with is who we become. Then we went to hear Nancy & choir sing at the Episcopal church. We went to Pelican Landing for brunch. I bought a small shovel and clipper at Walmart. At home,we packed and Denny started to clean. I drove to 77 Flea market and bought jicama, pineapples, a pink handkerchief, and some other clothes. We visited in the screened in porch until Gail and Bruce took us to the airport. We girls took a small vase of Mom's roses to Gloria. Good flights all the way. I used the neck pillow I found at the airport the night we came and it worked pretty well. We ate sandwiches that I made in Brownsville with avocados, bacon and onions. We landed in Omaha after 10. Denny had checked his bag and after we got it, he drove home. He has President's Day off tomorrow. I slept. Home sweet home about omidnight..Thank you Jesus for a great long weekend.

Boat Eco ride between Port Isabel and South Padre island

Deck is beautiful this am. Sunshine, calm resaca, birds chirping. I have so much to be thankful for. It has been so nice being here with Denny and family. There was coffee and donuts at the community building as we got an update on what is going on at the park. I stopped at Gloria's for coffee. We left for South Padre about 10. The eco boat ride was really neat. At first they drug a net behind to gather water things from Lagoon Madre and examine them. There were puffer fish and star fish. At home we had crescent rolls and leftovers. Gail and I planted some potted plants in the cement chunk riff raff by the resaca. We will see how/ if they survive. We headed to meal at 5 and got there right before the prayer. Good food and nice visit. Then there was a dance. We danced alot. Then to the hot tub. There was no one else there and we relaxed. In fact, Denny said he thought he was walking on air on the way back to the trailer. Another great day in the Valley.

Looks like a beautiful day in the Valley

Watched The King's voice until 12:30 last night. Slept until 6:30. Out on the deck is beautiful this morning. Rasaca is still and calm. It is about 56 degrees. Denny fixed bacon and eggs again this am. I cut fresh pineapple We had coffee with Gloria about 9. Nancy picked us up to go to the Island. We stopped at a couple shops and then walked on the beach for about 30 minutes. Nancy was waiting after choir practice was done. We went to the library. I stopped at the silversmith across from the libray and he said he would soldier my rings together with gold on the back side and then if you wanted them to be separate it could be done. Email from RR saying it would be a good idea if the staff would email and let everyone know when they were going to be gone.   We used a gift certificate that Henderson had to Texas Road house.  Danny and Terry, Kathy and Johnny and the 5 of us.  It was good. We went to the hot tub before heading to bed.




 

We're here!!!

Relaxing. Nice slow am. I got up about 7:30 and had coffee on the deck. So pretty, no wind. Denny stayed in bed until about 9 sweet island time. He fixed bacon & eggs, Nancy fixed wonderful rye toast plus grapefruit on the deck. After a walk around the park and visiting with Dan about steps, Bruce fixed us Kiboska sausages. They left to play bridge. I answered an email about a students accommodations during SPA test , Denny napped. Then we headed to walk the beach. Wonderful relaxing time. I picked up oyster shells for an object lesson. What a great time. Going back over the bridge traffic is slow moving Next to C&C wings. We went to the hot tub before watching TV and heading to bed.

Headed to Texas

I filled with gas before school and got cash.  Full day at school with Ia. Assessments.   I left school and headed to Arthur to get Denny at the bank.  The trip to the airport and the flights went great. We were early to Brownsville.  Sisters came soon. Nancy had snacks when we got to the trailer.  Wonderful to be here!!!

Back at school

I headed to school a little early to see what the substitute did on Friday. Most of our bags are packed. We're heading on a jet plane. Tomorrow :) Luke texted me after I called him. He is in California. It is 84 degrees. We started Iowa Assessments this am. All the class periods were shortened. After school I stayed and worked on lesson plans for the substitute.

Another snow day

I got a call at 5 ... 2 hour late start ... another call at 7:30. No school. Thank you Lord, for this day. About 10:30 6 kids came over to play ... outside and in coop until about 12:00. Then inside and Missy came over after they had moved and weaned pig. We ate some potato soup that I had made a big pot. I think it was this day that I redid my recipe book.
