Ice Ice baby


Just so y'all know it isn't always beach weather here in the Rio Grande Valley, here are photos I took last Friday morning when Sir and I went out for our first morning walk around 7:00 AM.



Three days last week it never got above 37 degrees during the day with terrible winds and the mornings when Sir and I got up it was 28 or 29 degrees!  Then on the weekend it warmed up to temps in the 70's, thankfully.  

Check out the photo below  of the front of the car ~ see that funny icicle that as Rick says, looks like a whisker, sticking out then up!






We are leaving the San Benito area today.  We've been here 12 days and are now heading west to a small state park that I believe is in the middle of nowhere, then on to Laredo for a week before we head back to San Antonio where our niece and her friend will be visiting us for a few days of warm weather (unlike what they are having in upstate NY) so I sure hope it stays between 75 and 80 for them!  

I've really loved this area, although I would like to have been closer than 20 miles to South Padre Island.  With that said, we booked a stay there on the Island for two months next year, unfortunately it won't be until March and April ~ no space available in January and February there!  Also we had intended to look at a home down here yesterday but the realtor called back to say the homeowner was sick and unable to have showings until the end of the week.  Strangely enough the realtor didn't offer to show us other properties ~ I guess business is so strong here they don't need to "work" at it!  Oh well, I guess it just wasn't "meant to be"!

Stay tuned .....

That is crazy weather for that area!

Hope you get warm when you move.
