A VISIT TO MEXICO

 The other day we took a little day trip down to Mexico. 

 We always park our vehicle on the American side of the border and walk across the Rio Grande Bridge to the small border town of Progresso.  Just south of Weslaco, Texas. 

 Elizabeth had her obligatory picture taken in front for the Mexican/American Statue. 

 

 We did some browsing and a bit of shopping and I picked up my glasses that I had ordered last week. 

 Then we stopped in at the Ground Zero Bar for some Margaritas. 

 And were entertained by the Mariachi Band. 

Then we walked back across the bridge back to the American side.  As we were walking we talked about the fact that a number of the extended Thacker family were in Mexico that day.  Brenda and Gary were in Los Cabos, Jim and Rachelle and Alex and Matthew were in Playa Del Carmen, and here we were Linda and Dan and Elizabeth in Progresso.

CANADA DAY IN PARADISE PARK

Every year in mid February, all of us Canadians here in Paradise Park, get together for a Pot Luck dinner.  This year of course was no exception.  

Dan and I being host and hostess this year, were a little concerned that everything would go all right.  Which of course it did, it always does.  

 
Everyone pitches in to help out in any way they can.  People showed up with lots of wonderful food.  We socialized  around a game, for a while, then sat down to a delicious and abundant meal.  

A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL

SAN ANTONIO RIVER WALK

Our company arrived late Tuesday after a long day's drive all the way from Oklahoma City, with a slight accidental detour though Laredo.  

Wednesday was spent relaxing, socializing, pool time, topped off with a nice patio Bar-B-Q dinner.  Then Thursday, was more relaxing and pool time, then they ventured out on a disappointing personal quest, which was followed by another nice patio dinner and before you knew it we were planning our trip north to San Antonio for the next day.  

  Friday morning we were packed up and off to San Antonio for Gary to hop a plane back to Winnipeg.  He just came to accompany Tracy Elizabeth on her Journey to our little winter home.  He only had a weeks holiday so we decided to accompany him back to San Antonio and DO the River Walk together before his departure.  

Friday we are off to San Antonio and the River Walk. 
We got checked into our Motel, then walked the River Walk for a couple of hours. 
 

Then we stopped for a lovely dinner to end the evening. 

Then 5:30 am the next morning we were up and at it to drop Gary at the airport by 6:00 am and tackled the 31/2 hour drive back to Paradise Park. 

IT HAS BEEN A HECTIC  FEW DAYS.
