Update!
Thought I should post an update since it's been so long. We left our workamper job in OH yesterday and arrived in Breckenridge, MI. We spent the summer at this park three years ago. We're close to Madison (my 10 yr old granddaughter) and not too far from most of our families. We'll be here for a month or maybe a little longer and then we'll go south for the winter.
Local Fresh Fruit and Veggies all Winter!
All the fresh fruit and veggies you want. We could pick the organges and grapefruit off of the trees in our park. You can't beat Texas grapefruit!
Harlingen in the Rio Grande Valley
Harlingen is in the Rio Grande Valley. I took the picture of the truckload of watermelon in the upper right hand corner of the blog in the city of Harlingen the other day. We have had fresh grapefruit, oranges, melons, vegetables (you name it, they grow it here!) all winter. We will miss this when we leave.
Winter Texans
The Winter Texans have arrived. The locals call us the "Winter Texans" and they're happy to have us here.
It's been fun to watch the new arrivals coming in the park each day and interesting to see them park in what seems to be a small space. Out street is full and a few months ago it was almost empty. We are in the pet section and it's not easy remembering all of the dogs names. I try to remember their names because we meet on a daily basis on the pet walk and I always talk to them, more than the owners some times.
There are so many RV parks here. People come from all over to emjoy the warm weather and so many things to do and see. We only have 2 1/2 months left before we head back up north.
I'll try to post some pictures soon.

4 Days Later!
We finally arrived in Harlingen, TX, 4 days, 1600 miles and about 150 gals of fuel later. We had a good, safe trip, one all day rain. The weather got warmer the farther south we went and by the time we arrived, it was over 104. It cooled off the next day and has been in the mid 80s for the most part. We went to work the day after we got here. There are a lot of activities going on in this park all the time. It's a big park with over 600 sites. The "winter Texans" have started arriving, and we are anxious to see it when they all get here.
Leaving Butler, OH
We'll be leaving Butler, OH on Monday, October 12th. We're heading to Harlingen, TX for six months. We'll be working part time office/maintenance and teaching 2-Step, Waltz and partner dances. We are looking forward to teaching dance again. If any of you are in the area, stop in!
