We went to Progreso, Tamaulipas, MX this morning to get our teeth cleaned, and pick up
Those of you who have been across the bridge there might not recognize these pictures--lots of brush cleaned out. All three photos are taken from near where you pay on the US side, looking back to the north. It is so cleaned up that
This taken from same spot as above photos, but looking south at the pay-place before you walk over the bridge.
Well, as usual, been a bit since I started this. Is now 10:00 am Saturday - 68 degrees with bright sunshine - predicted to get to 80 degrees today.
At right is photo of the two
blossoms that were on my 8' tall
cactus in the back yard. They fell off
after a few days and the ants ate
up the insides of them post haste.
Tuesday was Armistice Day and there was a short ceremony raising the flag (Don Ferguson and Morris Azure) with Bill Martin leading Pledge of Allegiance and a reading.
At right is small snail
that had fastened himself
to one of our sun room
windows.
Photo looking east on second street from north of the park. They removed the two new rental units yesterday that had just been put in a month ago. Something about "they needed them at another park"????? Doesn't make sense to me.
Looking west on north street.

Monday was first day we went
to Gatti's Pizza in Harlingen to
play bingo, chat, and eat.
Don called the bingo numbers.
I washed most of the travel
trailer this week. Used "Beast
Wash" and scrubbed the roof,
and all but one side. Need
to finish it today.
I had inserted this reflector aluminum between the two "sun bubbles" over the shower. It lets in a little light, but on the really bright sunshiny days it keeps most of the heat out.
The trailer
is less than a
year old, but the top
had accumulated some
dirt. We had spent 2 weeks,
3 months, and 2 weeks on
the three trips this summer in it.
Haven't added actual miles
we have pulled it, but something
around 12,000 miles since
we picked it up in eastern
Iowa in early April
this year.
On returning from Mexico yesterday we stopped at the new Stefano's Pizza on Business 83 just west of Harlingen. Had a terrific 10" House Pizza and less that $11, including tip -- and had enough left to have for supper last night.
The sign for the restaurant is on Business 83, but the actual entrance and main parking lot is off the side street to the "back" of the building.
behind one of the dining areas
across the way where you
could watch them making
your pizza. They have
a full menu of items
besides Pizza.
The Pizza.
You can see into
adjacent room that
can be closed off
for private parties.
The dining area as you come into the restaurant.
Well, we are going back to restaurant across Business 83 at noon, taking Carl & Marti for lunch at the buffet. Today is Carl's 84th birthday.
Many more coming in to the park. Earl and Sharon Taylor got here this week; Pat and Jim Lindstrom got here yesterday. Gene and Barb (in the permanent on the west end) got here this week. Several that I am not sure of their names --but said welcome back as was riding our trikes around the park. Talked with Bill Oberholzer - they aren't coming this year as their older pickup was totaled after a front-end accident. Yesterday he let me know had found another truck, but with finances a little tight were going to stay at his mother-in-laws place where they park their 5th-wheel (usually just for the summer). Mac Laster, from Kentucky, got here this week. Oh, Pam and Harold Patten got here last week. They were headed to Florida, but Harold said he could get in more golf here- they will stay until in January when they head north for their job in Minnesota. Roger & Jenine Houk got her couple days ago from Michigan as well as our neighbor John Metzgar from Mound City, MO came in Monday.
Later, Lynn
