Cardinal....I bet I got that one right!
We bought a yearly pass to the Cameron County parks and we have been taking our lunch on nice days and going to the park closest to us.
That's one way to use a picnic table.
Tonight we took supper. People have been telling us about this bait shop that has fresh shrimp but just look at the place.
Well, everyone says it is the best around so.......
It is a family owned place and they do all the fishing so the first time we went there, they didn't have any shrimp....sold out.
. They don't freeze any or buy from the stores so you always get really fresh gulf shrimp. Tonight we got two dinners of 10 shrimp each, each a salad and fries, and bread............$10 total.
Sitting at the park, eating fresh gulf shrimp that really were good....... I didn't even have to cook.. Life is good.
Best not to go to the park on the weekends, tho. Just look at the trucks with boat trailers that lined the road last Sunday and this is just the overflow from the parking lot.
I have been noticing how they irrigate the fields here The fields are so huge...there are underground pipes and these valves which are hooked up to a sort of soaker hose and the water just runs down these huge fields. Neil measured one field........it ran three miles along the highway.
I don't know how they can get anything started with the number of birds that eat there. We were riding along and scared up these redwing blackbirds......hundreds of them on the newly planted field.
I don't know what it is about me and cemeteries, but I made Neil turn in to this one that we have driven past many times. Kinda wish I hadn't because this is one of the saddest things I have ever seen. This section is for infants and babies only, and along with the flowers, people have lovingly placed toys, little shoes, heartbreaking messages.. So very sad
On a happier note, this is Howies new friend, Cowboy. Howie has not known how to play, but he is learning from Cowboy.
Now here is a guy who is inventive. He has that big load of lumber to get home, so he is putting it on his truck one at a time and each board is being nailed to the one beneath it at a place a little higher up than the previous one. He is driving the nail all the way in so each board is nailed twice and won't twist around. Clever?
These bags crocheted from recycled plastic bags by the ladies of Costa Rica are really nice They are quite expensive tho...$38. I'm all for recycling, cleaning up the beaches etc., but thats a little steep for my budget.
