Finally a good internet connection!

I wanted to say how much we enjoyed our visit with cousins, Terry and Marcia Hood.  We felt fortunate to have this time together. (Mid January)

Daughter, Sheila, friends and family enjoy visiting the "Worlds Largest" Anything.  So, in their behalf we ventured to Hildago, TX near the Mexican Border - home of the "World Largest Killer Bee".  It was a nice little town and one of their claims to fame is that it was the point where the first Killer Bees entered the US.

The town lights up completely at Christmas time and the Hoods were just a few of many people traveling through there at Christmastime.  They said it was quite spectacular.  The bee is still dressed in it's lights.

 

In the town is the home of Ramón Ayala (born December 8, 1945, in Monterrey, Nuevo León, México) is a Mexican musician, composer, and songwriter of norteño and conjunto music. Known as the "King of the Accordion," Ayala has recorded over 105 albums for which he has received four Grammy Awards. )

 

 

There were 3 buses lined up next to him home preparing for a road trip but we did not see him.

  This blog is frustrating because it won't let me turn the photos the proper way
