Mexican Food in Corpus

Well, I am going to be away from being able to write on the blog until Sunday. It is time to head to Corpus to see my parents. As soon as I leave the airport, am headed to my favorite Mexican food restaurant, Kiko’s. It is just the best. Their deep friend mushrooms with chile con queso is just undescribable and the enchiladas just do not compare to any other place. They are simply the best tex-mex enchiladas their is……will arrive tonight and take my parents out for their 59th anniversary dinner. I hope that upon my return, I bring back a new memory of them. Something that allows me to see them for who they are as individuals, not just my parents, who are hard of hearing, argue with each other, dwell on the negative sometimes and listen to the television so loudly, that the neighbors don’t even have to have their volume on……..so maybe I will be able to focus on who they are, what they like and really listen to their hearts, their likes as well as their dislikes. In the future, I want to know that I really tried to see them for Hope and Carl, not just my parents, but for their purpose and the way they lived their lives, which was truly outpoured to so many others…maybe I will be bringing home, not just heartburn from all the mexican food, but a new, fresh memory of my parents, a precious one that honors them. Will write again on Sunday when I get back. Think of me this week, as I will be sitting there watching “Antique Roadshow” for the 10th time every night (yes, they record it, so they don’t have to miss it)
