Eric's sweet potato cake with Toffee Mocha icing!

I made this cake the other night after the NCAA Basketball Finals. I was up until 2:00 a.m., but would have tossed and turned anyway!

Don't forget the Whata Burgers! More pictures later.

Wish I were there

Low tide

We love the ocean

Nice viewing area

Another view of Padre Island

A view from the top of the pavilion

We were back the next morning

This is a new visitor center pavilion since we were here over 30 years ago~

It is getting dark, but the ocean is wonderful

A harmless jellyfish we found out!

The water was warm!

Peter and some wind.

Where we got the shrimp

The son and "Ma" reminded us of the seafood version of Ron and Mary and the Cheese House in Marinette.

The shrimp ready to be boiled.

Look at the size of this one!

Ready to cook.

Ready to eat!

Texas shrimp

A delicious dinner right from the Gulf in Texas.

Opened the steps to the green

Front entryway, new sidewalk, weeded out

The other side

Trimmed, some new plantings, rest of dead tree removed from over the hill by golf green.

Notice the view through the new curved window!

Upstairs bedroom carpet done

Living room and Tom's vacuuming design!

We did the driveway, pool, pool deck and patio-looks wonderful.

Peter cutting out the dead stuff before mulching

The pool before pumping it out

The pool after we drained it and before power washing

Some hard work in the yard. More pictures to come!

After!

Before weeding, pruning, and mulching

Some before shots and the new fence

Beautiful bluebonnets and Texas wildflowers
