spiders, boats, sun and snow

Have some different pictures to share tonight. One of the residents here has a night camera set up behind their coach. So far the most exciting thing has been jack rabbits or armadillo's. Well one night this week they caught the neighborhood bob cat sneaking pass. She's normally seen in the State Park next to us but looks like she's on the move. Kind of cool ha.

Than another night as people were out for walks a new resident was spotted. This guy was a big one, must be all this rain we've had is making even these guys grow.Bandido and Tequila (yes that's their names) really wanted to get a closer look but Diane wasn't having anything to do with that.
Last night we fixed Paella for David/Linda/Gary/Marilynn and friend Pat. Perfect evening to have happy hour outside on Gary's patio.
Larry & David
Linda & Pat
Sorry pictures of Gary & Marilynn didn't turn out but here's one of the Paella
Some of the residents took advantage of the boat/driver we have available to rent for an afternoon and cruse along the Rio Grande River. We haven't done it yet and would like to. The owner of our complex has a pontoon that holds 8 people and we can take drinks/snacks for a neat social time. Anyway while they were out this week they got to see first hand one of the new Highway Patrol Boats that just arrived in our area.

Weather this week went from 93 degrees one day to 73 degrees the next. But at least it's still better than the picture my sister Nadene emailed me of their cottage in Michigan. I'll admit it's pretty but just glad its not here.

As you know we have our granddaughter Anissa's graduation this spring and our daughter Brandi's wedding in the fall. Been busy sending pictures back and forth on different things we've come across that she might like for either event. Sure makes things easier when your 1800 miles away. But things are starting to come together for each of them so that's nice.

Last weekend we went to Larry and LaVila's and had lunch with them. LaVila has had a rough time this winter but things are picking up for her and hopefully she'll be able to enjoy the rest of the time down here before leaving for IA. LaVila I know you read this so just give a call when your ready to make another trip out.

Bob and Diane (DB & SIL) just got back to Michigan last week from a nice vacation with friends in Florida. He sent me this picture tonight showing me they too enjoyed many happy hours.
Not sure who all the ladies are but my brother looks like he's having a great time.

Well that's about it for this week. I'm sure we did some daily things but really can't remember what. That's why I like taking so many pictures, it reminds me of what to write about.

Till next time...........................................
