Enjoying the Good Life

The past several days we have slowed down a bit. This is good, everyone needs to rest now and then.

On Tuesday, Patti and I went to the local laundromat to do our laundry chores - ugh. It really wasn't to bad as it is a big laundromat and there were plenty of empty washer and dryers. We finished up in about 2 hours. After, we took a walk through part of Port Isabel, down to the bay and around the lighthouse. I think we are going back one day soon to look in the little boutiques that are in town. I also was to get pictures of most of the 21+/- painted porpoises that they have around town. I have a couple and when I get them all, I'll post some of the prettier ones.

On Wednesday the four of us, Mickey, Patti, Dean and myself went to Brownsville shopping. The guys dropped Patti and I off at the Sunrise Mall and they took off to do the "guy" thing at Home Depot. Patti and I had a really good time shopping - something that we both enjoy doing. I found a pair of shoes for my son's wedding next month so now I'm ready. We ate lunch at the food court and both enjoyed some Japanese food. It was very good, but as usual, way to much to eat. I think that Patti and I will be going back to the Mall again without the guys so we can really take our time looking, plus there are a couple of strip malls we spotted that we want to go to. You just can't shop with two guys waiting.........

On our ride back home was fun as we were at the mercy of Mickey's GPS. It decided to give us the grand tour of the northeast corner of Brownsville. We, or should I say Mickey, decided to just obey his GPS instead of going the way we had come. Fortunately, it didn't take us too far off track and we did make it back to Port Isabel the same day!

Today the guys worked on their project, a compartment for Mickey's generator. I will say that they did a very good job and it looks great. I went to Curves this morning and basically relaxed the rest of the day. Patti had invited Dean and I over for dinner this evening for lasagna. I can vouch for one thing - she is a good cook! Note to any of our RV'er friends - if you get an invitation from Mickey and Patti for dinner - don't turn it down!

Since it's now 11:30 pm I'll say goodnight and catch you another day.
