Birds of Port A

My favorite---roseate spoonbill

Great Beach Days on Padre Island

John and Fred watch Sam take a dip

Tex and I try to stay in the shade.


We couldn't understand how a big TV could be 7 miles down the beach--it had no guts.

Fishing at Port A

Fred and John---day trip on Scat Cat


Fred's best red snapper.

John's catch

Fred went other days. Some really good eating.

Port Aransas July 2011

Vacation at Port Aransas. Sam drove over from Houston and John flew in. Down on Padre Island, we met a sand sculptor who was practicing for the sand sculpture competition. Learned a lot from him.


Enjoyed shrimp poboys at Hook's

Enjoyed watching the dolphins and boat traffic from the park.

Beautiful sunsets

John feeding turtles in the pond at our park.

Cade and Kenslea

I love being "Aunt Janice" to Stacey's grandchildren. Kenslea playing with an old purse that I gave her.


Watching one of Cade's ballgames.

They came over to swim.

Such great kids!!!

Outdoor concerts at the lake

Beautiful evening at Lake Ray Hubbard with Joe and Jan




Good people watching, sunsets, and a great band, Professor D


Boaters enjoyed the concert, too.

Mesquite Rodeo

We were given tickets to the rodeo in June. Front section right by the chutes. Exciting when those bulls came out!!!



Surprise for me---one of the calf ropers was from Carthage. I used to teach his dad in Beckville.
