After the MMM, we headed to South Padre Island to see my friends from way back when the girls were pre-school age, Jim and Paula.
On the way to the island, we could see the flames and smoke of a big grass fire.
Skinny horses along the highway.
It’s a circus!!
Port Isabel.
Going across the causeway, I spotted dual hang-gliders.
We arrived at the condo where Jim and Paula are staying. Paula: “Get out of that truck and give me a hug!”
And we picked up right where we left off, years ago.
A view of the gulf from the condo second floor patio.
Meet Paula and Jim.
We all took a long stroll on the beach. So relaxing.
Well, it was just there… so now it’s here.
Love this setting.
Beautiful friend. It was wonderful reconnecting with these friends.
In our other life, the girls and I went to church with Jim and Paula. They were our worship leaders and they still play the guitar and sing. Don and I enjoyed the mini-concert they sang for us.
The last time I saw Jim, his hair was short and dark, as was his beard, with only a speckling of silver. Only a few months ago, he said he was wearing a pony tail.
At dinner time, we drove back across the causeway to Dirty Al’s for a delicious meal.
Out the restaurant window. A post for each bird.
Our waiter helped out with the picture taking.
Back at the condo, we looked at pictures and visited more. Before we knew it, we all realized we were exhausted and turned in for the night.
What a day full of blessings! Thank you, Jesus!!
