Today we took a road trip to Mathis, Texas. It is just north of Corpus Christi. We go there every year to look at birds. This year was no exception . We were more fortunate this year as we were able to see several birds. We saw a vermillion flycatcher. They are a beautiful red and are a lot smaller than a cardinal. We also saw a Kisskidee. He, too, is very colorful. We saw several hawks and some different breeds of ducks. There is so much water standing around it is unreal. We have never seen this much water in this part of Texas. The weather continues to be nice and warm, in the 70's and no rain. We are enjoying running around with no coat, snow, or ice. Bill and Dave played golf yesterday and Janet and I went shopping. We have played Bingo and had a good time. There continues to be many activities going on here. The book club just finished the Runnaway Quilt. That was a very good book. Bill's sister and her husband are here too. They are doing real good. The picture you see is the cafe we had lunch at today. We have eaten here every year for about 7 years. It is an old Hardware store with a corner made into a cafe. It is not a place you would stop at just by looking at it, but the food is really good. We are all doing fine and miss you all. Go Colts!
