JUMBLED BLOG...A LONG, HOT, BORING SUMMER!!!

Dr. Chavarria (Sr.) performing his magic for A Pet's Wish. I don't have a pic yet of Jr....and he's the one I usually deal with. I trust them both very much. They're our heroes!!!

Yeah...I have no idea what this used to be....but the falling lake levels are bringing up all kinds of interesting stuff. I just saw this on Facebook and thought the picture was cool.

This is Sicily from A Pet's Wish. I wish she was ours. I think Cherry would like her very much. HAHA....Jamey pointed out that the guy holding her is "Lunchbox".....very funny.

Gourd #5...finally done.

I'm sending this gourd to Jamey's friend Seze in NYC. Gourd #6...is for Jamey. My gourds take a long, long time to make.

Yeah....well, he's not smiling but is STILL glad to have a cane and not a walker.

I'm a dork to include this....but when H.E.B. is having roses on sale $5.99 a dozen...I get all excited and can't stop buying them.

Peek-A-Boo Willie! He hasn't been doing so well. His heart condition is NOT good. We love him.

Happy Birthday America...July 3 & 4th 2014.

This is the evening of the 3rd. Our neighbor Robert came over and grilled us an amazing fajita dinner. Jamey bought us that USA sign in the backyard. You can never have enough yard-art ya know?

The old man is happy with: food, his walker, a beer and a perfectly manicured yard.....thanks Robert for keeping our yard nice while Gene is out of commission!!

Pretty Jamey keeping in touch w/ San Marcos friends...she went there today. The week with her went by in the blink of an eye....as always. She drove her rent car to S.M. this morning and will visit with pals until the 8th.

You can't beat a small town parade! Here's the Border Patrol guys...they also have: 4 wheelers, air-swamp boats, pick up trucks...etc.etc. They do the best they can.....

So I cheated and we didn't go to the parade. I pulled these pictures off of the Del Rio Community Facebook page. What a pretty horse!!

CHEER LOUD AND LONG....here comes the Pet's Wish Dogs!!!! The office is on Main St. and the parade went down Main St. The truck following behind was decorated and had more dogs. Who wants one??? Jamey helped me transport dogs and cats to Acuna 3 days this past week. She loved it....and they loved her!

A parade isn't a parade without a few clowns.

Now THAT'S a proud 'caballero' on a gorgeous horse!!!!

A very pretty pair with a cute dog in the background.

Hi Yolanda!

A PET'S WISH....please give food, litter, love, money or adopt or foster. Save a life Del Rio!!!!

Gee...there were some beautiful girls and horses in the parade today. Yes...it's Latino/Mexican....this is how we do it in Del Rio!

I want a hat like that!

Sometimes I can't help but think that everybody should experience the "Mexican-ness" of where we live. Forward this blog on to friends and familia.

Yeah...o.k. Johnny Cash wasn't at the parade. But he was a rebel...and Gene and I are rebels...and still proud of our country....and this is a cool-ass photo!!!
