September in South Padre Island

On September 26 we packed up the car and headed for our condo at South Padre Island. Sadly the RV is still in the repair shop from our July 12th accident, It is doubtful we will make our October Rally with the Kountry Lone Stars South bunch ... dang! The purpose of our trip is to continue work on the kitchen and take care of some changes in the contents of the unit inasmuch as we have changed management companies. It is now being handled by Seaside Services; their description of the place is on their website: see http://southpadrebeach.com , search for condominiums and select Beachview. We are #207.

The main reason for coming was to install new kitchen cabinet hardware. The hardware you see below is brushed nickel on black lacquered cabinets.

Today (Saturday) Beckett and I took a walk on the beach ... we didn't do that when we had Maxie in that she was fearful of the surf noise. Beckett took to it big time! The entry point to this beach is right across the street from Beachview. It was in the lower 90's today.

Then, of course, he had to investigate an interesting crab or crawdad hole under this chaise lounge chair. Luckily the inhabitant didn't take offence to that and give him a pinch for his nosiness!

We took a drive to Julia's in Los Fresnos for their superb Saturday Special - Tampiquera which appears to be a Mexican sampler --- fajitas, a taco, a chalupa, a tamale, guacamole (sp), refried beans and Spanish rice plus their dynamite chips and dip ... all this with a huge tortilla! We figure we will be hungry .... maybe Tuesday.

That's it from here ... we head home in the morning ... the weather wizards say there will be lots of rain in Houston so watch out for flooding ... oh boy!
