Happily I've managed to play bridge three times and hand and foot once in the four days we've been here. Not bad. Errands have been the priority item on the to do list and we seem to making pretty good progress with them. After one of the errands we decided to stop at Bentsen-RGV State Park (the park close to us) and go for a walk. We were very sad to hear that the park is 85% closed due to flooding over the summer. A summer hurricane filled reservoirs further inland on the Rio Grande. Water was released from the reservoirs causing flooding in the section of the Rio Grande valley where we winter including the state park. A sign at the state park indicated that during the worst of the flooding most of the park was under 3 to 10 feet of water.

Thanks Bob and Jean for the perfect mat. In case anyone forgot our trailer is named "The Doghouse".
