Market Square

We drove to the Market Square for a little shopping.

We then went in to Mi Tierra Mexican Restaurant to see what they had at their bakery.  Boy, did they have some goodies.  We bought a bunch of stuff and brought it home to share with Manuel.  Coffee and Pastry…..yummy!

We had an awesome day together.  Then the girls headed back to Houston as they are attending an RV Friend’s funeral tomorrow.  We were so sad to hear of his loss.  Very very sad. 

Vicki and Janet Come Visit

Janet had made plans to come visit us when Vicki came down from Michigan.  We were so happy with those plans.  Then Manuel got sick with really high fevers and had to be hospitalized on Tuesday.  They came in on Thursday evening and Manuel was released on Friday so it was perfect timing.  They also came for moral support, which Janet is always at our side when we need her.  She is a great friend and can’t say enough about her Daughter, Vicki.  We loved both these girls and their families.

Anyway, Manuel and I had made plans to take them to the River Walk and it was a beautiful day.  Manuel stayed home and I took them. 

As I took my camera out of my pocket to take this picture of the girls, I dropped my parking ticket and down it went into the river.  Darn, now we would have to pay the lost ticket fee!!!!  Oh well….

We were hungry so we decided to eat at Luciano’s before we took the ride on the barge.  Food was great and off we went.

As we took our seat on the boat, we notice the parking ticket floating close by but we could not reach it.  Vicki gets up and talks to the barge driver….tells him about our lost ticket and he goes along the edge of the river and reaches for the ticket.  He GOT our WET TICKET!!!!!

So off we went on our ride….

Trip to San Marcos

I had told Larissa and Arianna that on Spring Break, I would take them to The Tanger Outlets in San Marcos.  Manuel Jr. decided to take the day off and took us.  We spent all day and we all had a great time.  We all got some good bargains.  Oh what fun it is to be with my kids.  Love it!  Manuel stayed home as he knew there was a lot of walking involved.

Mall

Arianna just loved these very colorful purses!

Ari

I loved the bike!  Beautiful Ari!

Naval Air Station Corpus Christi

We drove to Corpus as my brother, Jesse was scheduled to have a heart surgery.  He had carotid blockage and we all gathered to support him.  We were all laughing cause the Doctor walked in to check on him before his surgery and says Boy: you have a lot of family  and one of my sisters said, “No we are all wives!” and He just laughed. The doctor said, Hope you have a good Lawyer! At least that took off the stress for a little bit. 

Brother did fine and is now feeling much better and back to work.  Thank  you, Jesus.

Dance Group at The Senior Center

We have not been able to attend the Senior activities in a while but this was the last one we attended.  This is a great group of friends we have made there.  The instructors are kneeling.  Very nice folks!

Dance Group

We also attended an event put on by the City.  It was a Safety event for Seniors.  They had a delicious lunch, seminars with great speakers and then they had a dance session with a DJ.  The music was very inviting and Manuel even felt like dancing so we danced one song then rested and then got up and we danced another song.  He was just very tired.  Later that week he went in for 2 units of blood and his counts were pretty low.  We both sure miss not being able to dance like we used to.  We both loved to dance.

Even the police officer was out there dancing.  He had presented one of the seminars.
