Trip to McAllen....

2 weeks ago Randy & I went to the valley
for a belated holiday visit with Randy's
family. Mexico is about a 30min.
drive from McAllen, so Randy & I
went over to Progresso on Friday.

don't you just luv the festive colors
on the buildings

We walked across the bridge
into mexico......

mexican transportation.... :)

Rio Grand River...

here in the infamous "wall" being
built on the mexican border


Mexican Military at the border

serious business....

Hey who's sexy leg????

Unlike the lakes around here that are
incredibly low due to our drought,
Falcon Lake in south TX is
3ft above normal stage level.

so much for this picnic spot...
it would be a little soggy!

Our day on the lake fishing was cut
short when a cold front blew in...
pretty rough water with
white caps!!!


Pretty cool Border Patrol Boat $$$$

beautiful bird posing all purdy like...

This is Odie a "snowbird" from Minnesota,
