A New Year: 2018--January

Lunar eclipse over La Feria, Texas!

Note the time sequence.....

My camera is still set on "Miami" time;
it's actually 6:27 a.m. in Texas

 This came out "double,' but it looks pretty cool

A distance shot...

 You can barely see the full eclipse--it was a blue moon

 While the moon was eclipsing in the West,
 the sun was rising in the East

Friday, January 26th

A local businessman made a chicken dinner
for everyone in the park!

Bob changed the shocks on our  Uplander, 
so we took the old ones to the local junkyard.

It's not always warm down here!

On Jan. 2nd, we flew to Texas

Our first trip this year to the 
Padre Island Brewery
Diane, Wendy, Bob, Mark (the owner), 
Bill and Susie (she was Jerry's tour guide on his VietNam trip),
Dennis and Nancy

 The annual Causeway walk from Port Isabel
to South Padre Island was on the 13th.
Wendy, Bob, Diane, Jerry, and Dennis
walked the 5K. Nancy met us on the Island
for breakfast at "Yummies."

 It was 40 degrees when we left the park,
but into the 50's when we were walking.

A bit windy on the bridge, but we're almost to the end!
