Loving Palacios Texas



 These are a couple favorite pictures I took of the bay.  We have traveled to see a few other towns on different bays but come back to ours and think its about the best so its much easier to just drive a mile or so and walk on our little beach area and if its to chilly we just sit in the car and watch for the shrimp boats.  I have pictures on my cell phone I need to download to the computer so I can share pictures from the marina of all the shrimp boats.  For this land lubber this is all new stuff for me.  

We continue to work on the house.  Think we are done having to pay for work.  Had our handyman put new siding and roof on the little shed in back yard.  It looks really good.  I am painting a little at a time.  I did the dining room,  Al said "You aren't going to do the whole living room are you?"  I said "Oh no, as I hid my paint roller behind my back"  So I just painted a portion at a time.  Only painted a bit every 2 or 3 days.  Its all done now.  Next week I will tackle my bedroom.  Have a gal of gray that is a bit dark but nice and a gallon of white so going to mix in a big bucket to get a soft gray then just do a bit at a time.  I learned how to mend spackling areas where there are small cracks by using a paper towel and dabbing it in the "mud" and dabbing to create spackles on the crack  Works pretty well 

It is close to end of January,  have had only one light frost here.  Will be a shocker in a couple weeks when we head back up home for a bit.  Will add more stuff later.  Need to work on my New Years Resolution, which was to update all my passwords.  I am almost done.  I am making up crazy pass words for each place that I have to make a code list {or 2} to keep in safe place to log on myself.  

Till next time: Blessed are the cracked, for they let the sunshine in.
