Cold-and-Hot

Cool 73 degrees at 9:30 pm in La Feria, TX.  Riding the trikes a bit ago (put on 13 miles today)



 Click on any photo to enlarge.

Saturday we drove to a large hall in Weslaco and took part in free lunch that HEB Grocery Store provided to hundreds of people.  They do this in many cities in Texas and also in Mexico during the holidays.  Above is the line as we approached.
 They had it organized well and many different civic
groups helped in the serving and they really put the people through without a lot of waiting/trouble.
A couple tables away were Jerry and Shorty Ramsbacher and Marian and Les Vanderwerf and Terry and Charlie Serven.




 Outside they had some
entertainment and kids rides.
This unit, of the Weslaco Police
force was there, along
with several policemen to take
care of the traffic.


Quite a rig- looks like
they have it equipped well.








Sunday was first church service of the winter, with Rev. Baker conducting the service.  Small attendance, and small choir.


On Monday was our second, of the season
bingo and eating at Mr. Gatti's.
Had about 50 attend from the Park.











This morning a lady from Harlingen Chamber of Commerce made presentation of restaurants, art places, events going on in downtown Harlingen.


There are several restaurants we need to check out -- most of these are small family-run restaurants in the old buildings along Jackson Street and nearby.




I did repairs to some plumbing under bathroom sink and also replaced everything in the tank of the stool.  Made couple trips to Borderland Hardware in Mercedes for parts -- showed 86 degrees in middle of afternoon on the pickup thermometer, with bright sunshine.  With sun going down it cooled off nicely to the lower/mid 70's.  Walked across the street to Burger King and had supper of their special of 10 Chicken Nuggets for $1.49.  Each got that and one order of fries with two senior drinks for total of $5.39, tax included-tip not necessary.  Not too bad for meal for two.

Will go to pot-luck supper at the Rec Hall tomorrow evening.
More later, Lynn
