Shrimp Fun!

Today my hubby Laurence and his long time friend, Bill Malone went to the CPL Fish and Shrimp Hatchery for their annual shrimp sell off! The men got some beautiful Pacific shrimp! These shrimp are a fast growing variety! Kept separate from the native shrimp they grow well in the controlled environment! We bought some of last years crop and they were great. Now comes the fun part! The heads need to be pinched off!

Maybe some of these will make it to our fish fry!

Hummingbirds

It’s been a long time since I signed in here. It has been very very hot and dry this summer in Corpus Christi, Texas. Right now the hummingbirds are thick! We have three Texas shaped feeders at the Laguna Shore Village RV Park! I love seeing the pretty little jets! They are very territorial. My parents have three feeders too! A bird owns one of their feeders we call fat boy! Actually it’s probably a female since it’s plain. I don’t like the sound of fat girl since I’m not too slim. Anyway back to fat boy that little bird wont let any others light on the feeder it considers its own. These photos are from my parent's front porch. I didn’t include fat boys feeder because it was less fun with only one bird!

Thanks Should be given

I am so thankful that our loving father Jehovah gave his son Jesus, for our sins. You know Sunday we will celebrate the memorial of Christ's death. Look in your phone book for a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses to celebrate with us. I am also so thankful that my sister, Terrie and her daughter Shelly and Shelly's son Cade were not hurt in all the bad Tornadoes in Oklahoma last night! In a similar vein I am grateful for the beautiful Lily blooming in my courtyard. I guess I'm just plain happy!

Yellow Momma Cactus

This cactus was in bloom along Yorktown Road! I saw it on the way back from Andy's Country Kitchen.

Today's special was meatloaf! I had okra and broccoli sides. The split pea soup instead of salad was a smart choice, I enjoyed it immensely. As usual they give you a dessert and today's was bread pudding. You need to try Andy's Country Kitchen!

Most Wanted Signs

I never thought I would be putting bathroom writing on my blog! The bath house got a spring paint job! It looked so fresh and new that the doors looked drab. My friend who owns a sign company showed me his suggestions and man o man did he do a great job! Don't they look uptown! If you want him to spice up your signage just call Justin Luxton at 361-561-7890 He did a great job pretty fast too! When we finish the bath house trim I will show you! Bye for now!

Auction Fun

We had a fun time at the 33rd annual Corpus Christi chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association! Our friend; also our insurance agent, Rebecca Root and myself and my husband Laurence saw some awesome trips and nice fishing and hunting equipment go for very reasonable auction prices. There were lots of different foods all very tasty. Lots of different adult beverages were provided too! I was the designated driver, so I drank soda. We spent a little money and had a great time bidding and socializing as well.

Roses Spring Eye Candy

My roses are so pretty right now! I think some bees mixed up my white roses and my yellow roses and my red roses so you see the beautiful results. This morning started out very cool and damp. It turned nice later and we were all enjoying the spring weather! Come see us!
