fedexman Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hey guys, I have heard of a new honky tonk type place in Weslaco called the Horseman...I will found out more and see when the entertainment is...I think they have it in the early afternoon. That might be a way to ease the pain of not having good weather for the birding tour?

RobertShelly Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi everyone! Haven't posted here for a while, so thought we'd leave a note to let you know what we're up to. We've been in Mesa, AZ since Dec 20, and will be here through the first part of May, as Shelly has a 13 week nursing assignment that starts on Feb 4. We've been in "Q" the last couple days to have our satellite dome replaced (under warranty), but plan to go back to Mesa tomorrow. We're doing well, and enjoying our time in Arizona away from really cold temps and snow. Hope everyone is enjoying this new lifestyle as much as we are. If anyone is in our area over the next several months, please look us up, as it's always great to visit with friends. ------Bobby & Shelly EvansSKP #94865Full-timing Class of 2006!Originally from Delaware2000 American Dream 40' DS03 Saturn LW200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbaraok Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Robert and Shelly, Are you guys back at Mesa Spirit? I know you liked it last year. We've arrived in Abita Springs, LA for 4 days - would have been longer but it took us forever to get out of Texas. But we are now on our way to Florida.

adagadak Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Scuba Dave, Oh Ye of faint heart, did you ever miss out on a great birding tour at the Lagoona Atatosca NWR. No rain, not a drop, but there was some fog which.......only kept the birds down low instead of flying. Judy Bell gave an excellent narrative and boy does she know her birds! We saw a lot, including a rare White Cardinal. Best part of the tour, in my mind, was the mamuals. I saw Peckeries, I saw deer (including one large 10 point buck) and we had a Bobcat jump out into the road ahead of us. The highlight of the tour however was that the wildlife service trapped a VERY RARE Oscelot.. We got the chance to see her in the cage before the Vet. got there with the tranquilizer. My thanks to Judy & Diana for a great tour. I'll be moving up to San Benito on the 25th and hhang around that part of the valley for a week. Will you guys still be in the area? Robert & Shelly -- Glad your enjoying Arizona again this year. Sounds like you guys are all set up for the duration of the comfortable weather there, although it looks like a lot of rain for the next couple of days!

Jeff & Suzanne Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Had a great visit with Robert and Shelley today. We are headed out in the morning for Katherine Landing NRA on the Colorado River. Sounds like you had quite a tour Steve! Some really neat things to see. Good journeys everyone.

RobertShelly Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Barb & Dave - Yes we're back in Mesa Spirit enjoying our time here with all the friends we made last year. Jeff & Suzanne - We too enjoyed our visit with you. Have a good time out at Katherine Landing. Hope it's warmer there than Mesa is today (it's currently 57 degrees, cloudy, and drizzling at times). ------Bobby & Shelly EvansSKP #94865Full-timing Class of 2006!Originally from Delaware2000 American Dream 40' DS03 Saturn LW200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugg-n-Ridley Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 The weather is no better here, 51 and drizzle in the Rio Grande Valley this afternoon. Thanks for the nice words Steve, PM me your email, I will foward some photos. John and I really enjoyed the fall and learning birding from Judy, she speaks bird fluently. The refuge offers the Wed and Sat tours weekly into April. If you get time, for $10 it is a steal. Stay warm and dry everyone!

scubadave Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Steve we will be in the valley until the end of March, longer than most of the rest are staying around. Sounds like we missed a great time but that fog you mentioned was thick here and possible most of the way there, and that would have been a fun way to get started. Diana mentioned the Horseman's Grill and Saloon. Are we going to get together there next week? Or perhaps someplace else?

altsclmarm Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hey Steve...glad you enjoyed the tour. Very few people get to see an Ocelot, so it was definitely memorable. While on my way to Anahuac NWR next Thursday, I will be stopping in San Antonio for four nights along with Diana and John to see the Alamo and do the River Walk. Anyone else interested?? We will be staying at the San Antonio KOA. The rodeo and stock show will also be in town. Hope the weather is a bit drier and warmer by then.

Barbaraok Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Well after 4 days of almost continuous rain (including a rained out parade) we left the New Orleans area and are now in Robertsdale, AL - just north of Summerdale. We will be here a week and then move on into Florida. At least the sun was shinning today - almost forgot what it looked like.

Tough trip, and thanks to all for your condolences. Is anyone who is still here planning anything? Sounds like Judy's excursion was great and I was sorry to have missed it. Let me know....

adagadak Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm sitting real close to the Longhorn Cattle Company, if anyone is interested in visiting there again?????? Otherwise, I'm open to pretty much anything, anywhere but only for another couple days. Saturday I am moving up to Corpus Christi area. I've done all the exploring of the RGV I need to for this year.

fedexman Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well, if the weather would cooperate soon, we could do our beach outing on SPI. I had really looked forward to having a burger and a bear while sitting in a comfy chair on the beach. I am leaving to visit my mother in Ft Myers on Feb 5th and won't return until the 13th. We have guests arriving from IL on the 15th for a long weekend. Anytime after that is good for us. I am hoping to get to the island this weekend to see the kites too. I hear the fried shrimp at Dirty Al's calling me again. hugs dennise The (retired) FedExman & the Dizzy Blonde Paul and Dennise Ziaja Living our Fulltime Dream 2002 Damon Ultrasport 2007 Saturn Vue toad Traveling with our yorkiepoos Mack and Lucy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adagadak Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Dennise, How can you possibly eat any more deep fried food, Dirty Al's or otherwise??? My stomache is still complaining after my 5th fish & shrimp basket last week! By the way, the ribs at Louie's are OUTSTANDING!

fedexman Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 both Paul and I have had gastric bypass...so we don't absorb fat...lucky us...if we eat too much fatty stuff we do pay the price however, in the bathroom facilities. I won't go there here or folks may get queasey. My father in law who will be 91 March 31 has decided that after seeing the movie The Bucket List, has decided to do a tandem sky diving event for his birthday. He will fly out of Port Isabel and land on a beach on South Padre. I don't have the exact date, but will surely let everyone know when this is to take place. He is really serious and has already set aside the $200 cost. I was thinking of having a beach party for the event. We can all sit in our beach chairs and watch my crazy FIL jump out of an airplane.

adagadak Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Paul & Dennise, Oh that is wonderful! I'm sure he'll love the sky dive! The beach party then sounds great but (sigh) I'm leaving Saturday to start working my way north. Went to SPI for a farwell basket of Ribs at Louie's Backyard tonight. Have fun.
