Friday March 27th

Katie and I decided we would go and hit some golf balls in the afternoon at Palmview. We like the range better there. Katie was back in form and hitting really great shots, me not so much. My driver is fine but struggling a bit with my irons. I am hitting them on the heel pretty consistently, so will have to find a way to try and hit them more on the sweet spot.

After that we decided to go out for dinner, and we went to one of our favorite restaurants "El Patio" to have the fantastic chicken strips. We were disappointed! They were not that tender and smaller. Previously you couldn't eat the whole thing, would be able to bring some home and have two or three meals of chicken salad. What a shame, we were looking forward to it.

Afterwards, seeing we were in Mission, we decided to take a drive through the first park we ever stayed in. The park is called Canyon Lake, and we stayed in a small trailer with two tip outs. It was ok, but nothing compared to what we have now. We had to get an air mattress from Wal Mart as the bed was so hard, and then we would almost bounce each other out of the small bed when it was time to get into it.

The reason it is called a lake, is because there was a natural spring which filled up a large area and turned it into a so called lake.

Wow what a difference! The lake is almost totally dried out, it was pretty before. There are all sorts of empty spots, so it looks like it is slowly on the decline. We would not want to go back there again and are thankful for what we have. Mission seems to be much busier than what we remember, and lots of traffic and hustle and bustle. We like Pharr much better.

We came home, and later on went for a nice walk.

and so ends another great day in the Valley!

more later...

Every Year for the past few years, Katie and I journey to Pharr, Texas, where we have a mobile home in Paradise Park. We also sponsor three girls in Nuevo Progeso, Mexico, so they can go to school. We travel to Mexico to see the kids, with Sr. Maureen Crosby who runs the program and our friends Ken and Vickey, who are Sr. Maureen's constant helpers. Starting last year we also go by ourselves several times
