BENTSEN PALM VILLAGE RV PARK JOB AND SOUTH PADRE ISLAND

ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, I NOTICED BENTSEN PALM VILLAGE RV PARK IN MISSION, TEXAS WAS ADVERTISING FOR WORKAMPERS FOR THE SUMMER. WE TALKED IT OVER AND DECIDED WE COULD STAY IN TEXAS FOR THE SUMMER. WE LOOKED THE PARK UP ONLINE, IT IS A BEAUTIFUL PARK AND CHECKED ALL OUR BOXES FOR WHAT WE WANTED. DARRELL CALLED TO ASK WHAT THE JOB INVOLVED, AND IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PURSUING. I SENT THEM OUR RESUME AND GUY CAVAJAL, THE MANAGER CALLED THE SAME DAY. WE SET UP AN INTERVIEW  FOR FRIDAY, MARCH 21.  MISSION IS JUST 45 MINUTES FROM HARLINGEN.

THE INTERVIEW WENT WELL. GUY HAD AN EMERGENCY, SO WE TALKED WITH HIS WIFE JUANITA. THIS IS A NEW JOB OPPORTUNITY BEING OFFERED FOR BENTSEN PALM  RV VILLAGE. IN THE PAST, BENTSEN PALM HAS ONLY HIRED WORKAMPERS FOR THE WINTER SEASON. JUANITA EXPLAINED THAT SUMMER IS THEIR OFF SEASON AND WE WOULD BE THE ONLY WORKAMPERS WITH VERY  LIGHT DUTY. WE WOULD BE THERE MORE AS A PRESENCE, ASSISTING GUY AND JUANITA AND DOING A FEW  "SPECIAL PROJECTS."  THE PARK IS BEAUTIFUL AND BENTSEN RIO GRANDE STATE PARK IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR. WE WANTED THE JOB!! GUY CALLED LATER THAT AFTERNOON TO TELL US THE JOB WAS OURS IF WE WANTED IT........WE DEFINITELY DID!! THE JOB STARTS APRIL 2, AND WE CAN STAY AS LONG AS WE LIKE. WE  GOT BUSY THEN, WASHING AND WAXING THE 5TH WHEEL AND THE TRUCK.
BEFORE STARTING  OUR SUMMER WORK, I WANTED TO TAKE MAGGIE AND MARLEE TO SOUTH PADRE ISLAND SO THEY COULD PLAY ON THE BEACH.

WE WENT TO "OUR BEACH", IT WAS PRETTY MESSY......LOTS OF SEAWEED!

MAGGIE AND MARLEE DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND, THEY HAD FUN CHASING THEIR BALLS!

THEY FINALLY WORE OUT AND THEN WE JUST ENJOYED SITTING ON THE BEACH.

IT WAS A FUN, RELAXING DAY!!! WE LOVE THE BEACH!!!
