And Yet Another Week at Bentson Palms - and the Move on

12th November (Monday)
Had planned on going to Laguna Atasocsa National Wildlife Refuge near South Padre Island but north- east along the Laguna Madre coast line, but on waking up this morning found we were in strong winds. A quick perusal of the weather web indicated that winds in the area would be in the 30MPH range for most of the day. Cancel those plans!!  I guess another rest day here. Maybe tomorrow.
13th November (Tuesday)
Nothing worth writing about today
14th November (Wednesday)
Went to Laguana Atasocsa today. It is 20 miles past Harlingen and on Laguana Madre. Saw lots of birds again. Thousands of Ducks. A duck is a duck is a duck is a duck!!  Not sure what kind they were. Some Spoonbills, Hawkes, and little birds
15 November (Thursday)
Mostly rested today. Went to Butterfly Center but no butterflies. They don't flutter when the sun doesn't shine and today was overcast. Drizzle in evening turning to sprinkles
16th November (Friday)
Packing up today. Getting ready for the exodus tomorrow to New Braunfels

Out to the Riverside Club for Dinner tonight.nice rebels about cooking today
After at home went to visit Vincent and Nita Dykeman from Bend Oregon at their motorhome
17th November (Saturday)
Left Mission by 8:00AM this morning - about 300 miles to New Braunfels - arrived just before 3:00PM


Driveway into Loren and Theresa's house has grown in the last year and was more difficult to negotiate than before. In fact backing into the RV pad I did hit a branch on a tree and bent a couple of supports for the railing on top of ELTORO . Will get new ones at Campers World tomorrow - also need a new hot water tank cover. Seems, somehow we lost it on the way up. Not sure how it could have come loose, but it was not here when we arrived

Just got all set up and then Loren, Hettie, and Theresa wanted to take us to Golden Corral for dinner - very good, but ate away too much. Then about 7:00PM headed to San Antonio to Theresa's University to witness the "Lighting the Way" show where they have a one hour program and then conclude with fireworks and turn on all the Xmas lights on thousands of decorated trees - We use coniferous trees at home, but here they decorate live oaks. It was a good show and the Christmas lights were very impressive. 18th November (Sunday) Over to Campers world for my parts today, but only the store was open and the parts I neededwere in the parts and service department so will have to return tomorrow
