Weather gets us into trouble….


January was the wettest and coldest January in Corpus Christi in about 25 years. Rain was about 21/2 times normal. Lake Corpus Christi rose about 2 feet….still about 8 feet below capacity due to a 3 year drought (seemingly broken when the Presley’s arrived).
This picture is of the NON-floating pier and shows how far down the lake is.

Will apparently got bored. He decided we should move on to Mexico and warmer weather. Mona said she was not up to moving. Of course, Will was outvoted so we stayed in LCC.
But, Will got his revenge. On January 22 (with Mona’s consent, of course) we booked a flight to Toronto for January 25, returning on January 30. It was kept as a total surprise to our family.
Of course THIS is why we traveled….


It is not that we got homesick, it is just that Hannah’s first birthday and Colin’s twice yearly visit to Powassan and crappy weather in south Texas came together.

We went home. We got the 24 hour flu. We had fun. We were ecstatic to spend time with all of our family. We were very glad to get back

Footnote….in the 10 days we are back the weather has broken and become normal..highs in the 20s Celsius most days.
