ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

It Happened On The Last Day Of 2009

Approximately every 2.7 years there will be a Blue Moon. This anomaly occured on Dec. 31st. It happens when there are two full moons in the same calendar month. The first full moon in December was on Dec. 2nd. We were on South Padre Island the night of the Blue Moon, watching fireworks.
Thanks Michelle, for informing me of this event!



Random pictures that really didn't fit anywhere, but ones that I like.


A red dragonfly at Resaca de la Palma.  Flooded path-yes-we have had a lot of rain. 

A tombstone at a local cemetary. This person was all country. A George Strait fan, for sure.
                          Gotta Love It!


Sadly, we have the homeless here in Texas too. We see this man, on the same corner, quite often.  This winter has been unusally
cold, the missions have been full.  SAD





         YOU'RE A GOOD MAN  CHARLIE BROWN

We won tickets at the Winter Texan Meeting, for this play. The play was put on by local high school and college students, they hit the mark with the entertaining songs, Snoopy talking for the first time, and having each character cast to perfection!




     ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES ~ THE BEACH

We drove as far north as you can, on South Padre island, before the island ends. This is on the Gulf of Mexico. It's been a cool winter down here, so when days are nice I like going over to the Island.
