Keeping busy in the Rio Grande Valley

 74º here in La Feria, TX at 7 pm Sunday.  Prediction for 94º as high next Wed-Thur-Fri!

Had a group "The Ambassador's" from Bibleville Conference Grounds in Alamo, TX perform at church here in Kenwood this morning.  They are a group going to their college there and plan to progress into the Missionary field; they are from Ecuador, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Chile.

After church, we - Phyllis, Patty and myself, went to South Padre Island - some 60 miles to the east, southeast.  Drove the island and stopped at a Farmers Market towards the north end of the populated area.

Strolled by some 20 or so booths, but did looking only.

The 2.5 mile-long causeway from Port Isabella to South Padre Island has construction, reducing the 4-lane traffic to only one lane each way at points.  We didn't have much trouble getting through, but know those later in the day were probably backed up pretty bad.

We ate lunch at The Pelican Station in Port Isabella and, after looking around the tourist-gift shop near there, stopped at South Texas Ecotourism Center along Highway 100 in Laguna Vista, TX on the way back home.  There website is HERE  Very interesting place, though we didn't spend the time to thoroughly look at all of it. 

This 10 acre site has a collection of most living plants from the area, small statues and signage about all living wild animals in the area.

We walked quite a bit of the grounds, but did not go up the long ramp which gives a birds eye view of the area.

One of the local towns

Since we had missed the Veggie Man at the park on Friday -- went to the west to our Men & Women of A-Chord Barbershop Chorus performance-- we stopped at the Veggie Man's setup at DonWes to get our week's supply of Veggies.

Had a good turnout and successful concert at Winter Green Estates RV Park in Mission Friday evening.

Saturday evening we played Pegs & Jokers at our house with Darlene, Patty, Phyllis & myself.

Were at several functions at the hall this week.
