My First Video

posting is next. I thought it was going to be a difficult
project, no way Jose. Just a little time consuming.
These two walkers with the wiggles are my friends,
Marian on the left, blue hat and Michelle on the
right, blue shorts. Guess I will make more videos to post.......

Walking Across the Causeway, Port Isabel

Driving Along that blue Highway

or on this morning, it was beautiful at my North Pool,
even a little spooky,
but on Juarez Street, the neighbor's BIG diesel was sidelined by
their garbage can. Lots of excitement in the RGV.
Out on that Blue Hwy, there is a series of BLUE billboards......I don't
know who is doing the messages, but they are fun.......
reminds me of the "God" billboards........Carry on............

Another walk across the Queen Isabella

This is the starting line, 10K leaves at 10 am, us walkers 10:15

Actually, this is the starting line, 20 deep at the KYBO'S
Year One I was alone on the walk, Year Two brother Jeff, left Michelle
and her mom Marian joined me. This year, Jeff home, only us 3 girls.
Marian and I outside the starting point......
A little butt shot for ya'll and
some good looking runners. highest walker # we saw was 1985.
On the way past the light............starting point is about 6 blocks from the
lighthouse.3.3 miles to lunch and the waiting boys, our ride home.
One of my favorite photos of the day. this is near the land/water
point of the highway. Leaving land, on to the bridge.
the crowd ahead of me.
Almost done and a side show of dolphins

Starting temp from Mercedes was 74, cloudy......ending temp and very
little sunshine 84. Another favorite photo of the clouds surrounding the
new high rise that did not get destroyed by Dolly, the hurricane........It was
a great walk, stopped at the Isla Blanca office and found some mail for me,
a Christmas present. Forgot to look at the letter box for missing Christmas
cards. Lunch at Dirty Al's, home by 2 PM and off to see Elvis, aka Eddie
my co worker, a musician, he does a variety of music, mostly music that
I LOVE............Carry on...........

Christmas with the Justice Family

Grandma opened her gift from Jake, an angel that he picked out at his
school's gift fair. Only kids allowed in to shop.
Jake and Aunt Mary Beth, he is a real ham, posing for a bunch of Pictures.
Grandpa and Jake, Gramps is wearing the hat that Jake bought
for him, it says, "Proud to be American"
cousins Jake and Amy. I told Amy to hide away that Colts jacket, I loved
it and told her I might steal it from her.
Jake is getting crushed by MOM Melissa.

I found these wild animals on the golf course

but first, to get to #1 tee box, you get to walk through this beautiful
walkway, lined with colorful petunias
flying birds are abundant, some are even real
this mom and dad were watching over their younguns, look at daddio
hissing at me. I thought he was going to come after me when he turned
his head!
Just a baby lion
and big MAMMA HIPPO. this course is an executive course and well
maintained, only $9 for nine holes, two bucks more for 18. I had to get
home for a 3 PM Hawkeye game, so I could only play 9. Half were pars,
one birdie and one "brain fart" hole........I played two balls off 7 tee boxes,
so I guess I did get almost 18 holes played.

A gloomy day in Texas

I found this pair out by the bridge where the fishing boats rest, I had to
shoot through a fence
the lady in green is a "cyclone". How do I know? I saw her in the
Chamber office when I was picking up our tee shirts for the walk across
the Queen Isabella Causeway on Saturday, my third time, the 25th
overall!

happy New Year

and hello from the Rio Grande Valley again........I still do not
have my new life plan in order, with the job of cleaning
swimming pools and trying to relax and enjoy the sun
and surf and birds and golf and sun and and and...........

It was so much easier up north, to go on photo shoots and
then download and post..........

I am off to the island tomorrow to get our entry numbers
and tee shirts for
the walk across the Queen Isabelle Causeway, a 5 K walk
and 10 K run event..Bad weather is projected tomorrow, so
I expect to visit last year's new friends and won't be able
to do any beach bunny time.

Hometown neighbors lost their 8 year old son on Dec 28.
Walking to an area to go sledding, 1030 AM and foggy......
dad and son walking.......son suddenly ran out across the
street...........a heart breaker...........I went swimming on
Christmas Day with an 8 year old, a little bigger and
stronger than my sweet neighbor..........carry on my friends.......
