Well one never knows what lies ahead. About 12:30, Larry and Edna called and said we should enjoy the last warm day this week so we went into town. The first Sat. of each month, they close one of the downtown streets and it is filled with vendors and music. There was everything from antiques to garage sale type stuff to craftsmen to Kettle Corn and other munchies. Various musicians were playing and a band played at one intersection. I wish Raytown would do this.
After that we decided to go to South Padre Island. They were having a Rodeo and a kite flying festival. The weather was sunny and warm (84 degrees at that time). By the time we got there, it was partly cloudy. Of course, we were hungry so we went to Dirty Al's for fried shrimp. The crowd was huge and had to wait a while but everyone felt it was worth it. From there we went to see the kites but it was getting late and most of them were gone. Larry said that during the day we would have seen lots of huge kites dancing in the sky to music blaring on the beach. We did get to see one guy with a motorized beach mobile fly his kite as he went down the beach. Lots of fun. The sea gulls were thick in the air. They are amazing how they can float on the air.
By the time we returned to Harlingen, it was pouring rain and the temperature had dropped to 62 degrees. It is expected to be a cold and dreary week. Maybe I will get my Christmas Tree Skirt finished this week that I started when Tom had his back surgery. Tomorrow is Super Bowl so we are going to the Kaufman's and us ladies are going to make jewelry while the guys watch the game. We are listening to KU MU ball game tonight and at the moment, it doesn't look good for MU but there is always hope.
