Birding at Our House LOL

 We've  had a few of the buff-bellied hummingbirds taking advantage of our feeders these past few weeks. I finally tried to get a few pictures of them. They weren't very cooperative!









Guess we have another visitor today.

Riverside Club in Mission, Texas

We drove over to McAllen shopping for a bed and bought a Sleep Number bed to be delivered next week. We had a Sleep Number bed many years ago and loved it. So, we'll be happy to see it when it arrives.

To celebrate our new purchase, we drove over to Mission to get the scrumptious tenderloins that the Riverside Club serves. It was sure a different atmosphere after the season is over. There wasn't anyone in the restaurant but us, however, we didn't get there until about 3 PM. 

They have made a lot of improvements and so I took a few pictures of those. It used to be that you came here either for the tenderloins or the boat trip and tour on the Rio Grande River. Now there is also a huge ballroom that is busy all season.

This is the new ballroom
