I rode my bike 230 miles in March, missing only 2 days of riding. I have really enjoyed having such a great place to ride. It won't be as much fun when I get home (soon!!). At home our roads are rocky, sandy, muddy, etc., but I do love living in the country! I will probably have a little more work to do at home and not as much time for riding, but I will ride some. I have ridden 500 miles while we have been in TX. We have had lots of fun here, but I am ready to go home!!! So sorry to have missed the blizzard! I have seen some pictures and probably more of you have some to share. We will be home soon!

I think I was suppose to post some fish pictures. Randy did catch plenty of fish. These are sheepshead, the limit is five, and Randy goes all the way to the end of the jetty to catch these. The long walk is good exercise for him.

This was the beach on Wed., a beautiful day-80 degrees. Today and yesterday were in the 50's, so there wasn't too much beach activity (although I did see some kids in the water today;brrr!!!). It was cloudy, windy, and chilly. I looked for seashells this afternoon, thinking no one else would be foolish enough to be out there. There were not many of us, and I did find a few things. I also managed to stay dry, which was good. The best place for shells today was right beside the jetty, as the waves came in and out. The waves would bring in shells, then go out, and I would spot a special shell, grab it fast, and run quickly before the waves returned! That is more fun to do when it is warm and I wade in the water. We also had some rain yesterday and today, so I only rode bike 5.2 miles today and none yesterday (we went to Brownsville part of the day, so in my limited time, I decided walking was better than riding in the wind). But, on Wed, the beautiful day with mild wind, I rode 20 miles, through and north of SPI. I guess I got inspired (or challenged)when my sister said she rode 18 the other day. Somehow I think she did it faster; it took me 2 hours.

I had the opportunity to sit in a 1914 Model T the other day. I stopped to take a photo of this Model T in our RV Park. The owner enjoyed talking about his car and answering my questions. Then he offered to take my pic. Couldn't refuse that. He transports this car in an enclosed trailer behind his motor home, then drives it around when he stays different places. After restoring the car, he also added a Garmin GPS! (He also owns about 10 more Model T cars.) When I sat down, I noticed these cute little levers on the steering column, just like the ones on the cars at my Grandmother's place where my cousins and I use to play. Such fond memories!! Mother said at least one of those cars was a Model T that Daddy used to drive
