Busy time here in the Rio Grande Valley

 75 degrees at 7:00 pm here in La Feria, TX; been nice day -- lots of wind.

Many in the park are up to the Rec Hall with lots of food and drink watching the Super Bowl.

I went up long enough to take some pictures for our Activity Director to put on Facebook tomorrow

We went some 38 miles to the west yesterday.  Stopped at Costco, Sam's Club and then spent a few hours at the National Butterfly Center.

Was a little disappointed -- our recent freezes killed much of the vegetation that the butterflies depend on.  Everything was really brown and only a few butterflies.  Was heavily overcast and that probably kept some of the remaining butterflies close to home.

Got to see Spike, a tortoise that has had some rough luck.

Then we went on to Bentsen Palm RV Park in Mission where Phyllis' cousin Jan and husband Lynn Frye are staying in their 5th wheeler.

Got a tour of their 5th wheel and then we went to Mr. Crabby's Seafood Restaurant in Mission for a great seafood supper.

I had their combo of Shrimp and scallops. They came in a huge plastic bag totally enclosed that they opened and put in a 12" skillet-like metal pan.  One of the best seafood meals I have ever eaten.

The bell choir performed two songs before the service and accompanied one of the hymns this morning where we were singing in the choir at the First Methodist Church in Harlingen.

Last weekend we went to South Padre Island and looked at the annual sand sculptures.

 

Before going to the Island we ate at Pelican Station
in Port Isabel, which is on the west end of the
bridge going to South Padre Island.

We had our photo taken for the First Methodist Church in Harlingen Church Directory in January and got the prints this last week.

All for now, Lynn
