another day in retirement – January 23rd
We can’t have fun everyday! Today was chore day! Tim did laundry at the RV resort laundry mat and I cleaned the trailer. I clean better than Tim so he gets laundry detail. We also made another run to the Dollar Store. I can’t believe the number of times we go there because it is close by.
Saturday, the 21st, we went to a hispanic grocery store called Juniors. There was a large selection of Mexican foods. We have been to Juniors, HEB, and Walmart and no prime meat to be found. Juniors had a huge meat counter. Beef is sliced very thin, either plain or marinated. Same for various poultry cuts. Juniors is where you can also buy an entire head of a pig or cow . YUM!

Friday January 20th
We went to a carving expo in town today. One of our neighbors does wood carving and they ask us if we wanted to go with them to the expo.
Mary found this wall watch and an ice cream scoop she just couldn’t live without.

Went back to Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge today. It’s not far and it’s free. I have a hard time keeping up with Mary. She’s a speed demon.

Tuesday January 17
Went to the Brownsville Zoo today. Very nice zoo. The flamingos were on of the first exhibits.
Nice areas to sit in the shade and cool off. Yes it was a little hot in Brownsville today. Mid 80s.
The lions were taking their mid morning naps.
Saw this old guy at the zoo. Was told he is indigenous the the area during the winter.

Monday, Jan. 16
Not much happening the last few days. Doing the normal cleaning, laundry, washed my truck, grocery shopping etc..
We did do the Edmond Church of Christ online service Sunday. As always, it was a good sermon.
We plan on going to the Brownsville Zoo this week. Mary loves Zoos.
Bentsen
January 12 – Did some hiking at Bentsen Rio Grande State Park. They have paved and natural trails. Nice park with good facilities. You pass right by an under construction border wall. I’ll get some pictures next time. I left my phone in my truck. Bummer!
Here is the link to the parks web site.
Winter Ranch Downs
This is the exciting finish of one of the races at Winter Ranch Downs. I think Mary and I won $1.50!

Bikes
Bikes loaded for our trip to Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge by the Rio Grande River. We biked about 8 miles. That’s pretty good for two old people.
Here’s the link to Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge web site.

San Antonio
San Antonio, Texas. December 30, 2022. Not the best place to stay for 3 nights. Our trailer was about 10 feet away from the next door neighbor. We could not extend our awning, it would hit the trailer next to us. It was a nice park otherwise.
Cinder is guarding our Starlink satellite internet access downlink. I do like Starlink!
1st Day
This is our first stop on Mary and Tim’s Big Adventure. We are in Point Port, Texas. It’s December 28, 2022. We’ll be here for 2 nights. We plan to unwind from the closing on our house and all the work up to that point.
