MEETING BLOGGER FRIENDS…UP CLOSE

Tuesday, January 10 – We met up with fellow Winter Texans, Gayle and Jim, at a local restaurant today for lunch. We follow each other's blogs and since both of us were in Mission, TX, for the winter, we made arrangements to meet. What a wonderful couple. It's interesting how much one has in common with other full-timers. They are in their forth year of full-timing, similar in age, like hiking and biking, and are interested in photography. Jim, as a matter of fact, gave us some great suggestions in our search for a new camera.
They are staying a few miles down the road at Bentsen Palms RV Park. We hope to get together again before winding up our stay in the RGV.

Each morning when we go to workout, we see HUGE flocks of birds flying around Mission. Yesterday on the way home from the gym, there must have been 1000's of birds flying near our campground. From a distance it appeared like smoke in the air, but upon closer inspection, it was birds heading for their feeding grounds here in the RGV.
