South Padre Island with Dewayne and Nancy turned out to be perfect weather for exploring. Grama was able to collect 'Texas' sand for making rocks with the kids this summer. Papa and Grama practiced a little Tai Chi. We enjoyed watching folks fishing in the Gulf. They seemed to be having good success around 8 am and then again at 3 pm. The merchants are really struggling. Business seems to be down due to the economy as well as a very rainy winter this year.
Did I mention that we booked in until the first of March? Tai Chi is going well for both of us. Line dancing three times a week is keeping Sheila in shape. (well would be if it weren't for the happy hours). Sheila driving to McAllen for Spanish classes weekly. We are enjoying the Killer Bees hockey games and getting in short visits with the coach, Chris Brooks and his family. In spite of the weather, it is turning out to be an awesome winter.
