A little going home get together at sister in law Sherry's house.

On a shopping trip to Progresso Mexico. It's only about a 1/2 Hour drive from Sherry's to Progresso

Lunch at Arturo's in Progresso, it is a favorite place.



Iwo Jima memorial just outside of the Harlingen airport.

One of the shops in Progresso Mexico

We went to the American Legion in McAllen Texas with some friends that we met at the campgrounds here in McAllen. They have a very nice Post with over 400 members. They served a very nice fish dinner and had a nice band playing.

Decorations and dance floor at the American Legion.

Country music, of course it's Texas

I talked with the Commander of the Post, he said that when they installed the shuffle board it has become very popular and brings in a lot of business.

We took a ride on Saturday afternoon to Port Mansfield. It is about 1 Hr. from where we were staying. It is a fishing town. We had lunch there. Every house has one of these piers in front of it. There must have been 100 of them.

This is at a County park. Fishing on the pier is free.

Sea Gulls, looking for a car to poop on.

Some fishermen just going out.

Doing our favorite thing, eating and drinking

We really had a great lunch, the place was kind of funky, but nice.

Every inch inside of the bar was covered with pictures or posters.

This wind generation farm is under construction, it looks like there will be hundreds of these things when they are done. It is near Port Mansfield. There were a lot of them laying out in the fields waiting to be put together.

Poor picture, but it is a crop duster spraying the sorgum field. They grow lots of corn, cotton, sorgum Etc. Most of the land here is irrigated with water from the Rio Grande river.

You see these things flying all over in  the Rio Grande valley.
