Hard to believe - - - we’ve been gone from Lambertville for OVER 2 months. We’ve seen a lot and done a lot. Just not as much in the last 3 weeks. Seems we’re kind of anchored here at Sunshine RV Park and we’ve not “wandered” as much, due a lot to the “goofy “ weather, I suppose.
But then, looking back, we’ve been to Mexico 4 times at 3 different border crossings/ 2 different towns. We’ve been up and down the roads in Harlingen so many times that now Harry knows his way around pretty good. We’ve shopped at all the “best” stores – Target, Wal-Mart, Penny’s, Sears, and even a Big Lots. Today was a new little shop – “Tuesday Morning”. We’ve been to 2 National Park Wildlife Refuges. - Yesterday was the Santa Ana NWF and walked 2 miles, stood on the bank of the Rio Grande River and could have fallen into Mexico. We climbed a 40 ft tower and even saw some Chachalaca birds ( Cha –Cha – lah –kah) which look like a cross between a Mourning Dove and a Pheasant. We’ve eaten at a half dozen good Mexican restaurants- but don’t ask us what we ate ! It was all yummy ! Harry is needing more Pepcid !! We’ve been to 2 ice cream socials and a fish fry here in the park. We have miles on our bikes and almost as many in our sandals. A week ago we went to a really good craft show here which has given me a new batch of ideas for next Christmas. And this weekend is a parkwide garage sale.
We’ve met some very nice folks who we would like to keep in touch with after we leave. Just the other day we met and spent time with Rich and Sally from White Cloud Michigan! Next door to us are Tony and Caroline from New Jersey; Jean across from us is from Missouri; Larry and Ruth are also from Missouri but he has family in Lima! There’s the rowdy group that cheers for Ohio State. Down the way, they’re from Zanesville and Newark! Today we had Joel and Carol from out on South Padre Island come and visit. Next summer I hope we can visit with them up on Mullett Lake!
