December of 2015 is here



La Feria, TX - 57 degrees - have not seen sun for many days.  Heavy overcast all day yesterday and Sunday with light mist obsessionally during day.

At right - Phyllis putting finishing touches around edge of a newly finished quilt.



 Stopped at DonWes Flea Market last Saturday.  With recent rains, the parking lot, at least just to the north of it, was a bit muddy.

This Flea Market is really shrinking -- many of the outdoor spots were empty.

I would rather go to the Mexican Flea market to the west, even though you have to pay 50 cents entry there -- about 5 times the exhibitors.




Last spring, when putting away furniture, I lifted
on edge of this table and it broke off.
If you look at the folded-up
leaf you can see that it had also been
broken and mended with a pocket-hole
set of screws and glue, which is what
I did to the near side and am just
putting it back onto the hinges.




Got started painting the 24" x 18" plywood sheets I brought from Clarinda: 150 of them, think need about 95 to cover the ceiling in the Texas room.

Got about 12 done, only 83 to go!



Two gals in
our doctor's
office.
Marlene has been in
the office since we
started seeing Dr. Gonzalez
3 years ago.  Friendly, knowledgeable,
speaks really good English; has
two little kids.







Ate lunch at Las Vegas in Harlingen Tuesday.  Got there at 10 after 11am and no line.  If you show up at noon you wait a half hour to get a table.

Real good lunch specials for less than $5.00









Am writing this now at 12:45 am on Thursday.  Got in 14.68 miles on the trike yesterday.  Today the sun has come out for first time in about 10 days and is in mid 60's today.  Got in 6.5 miles before lunch.  Took pickup down to move the stuff from "Sew and Share" building over to Rec Hall as the ladies started their winter season of working on quilts today.  Our next-door neighbors Harold and LaRhoda got here yesterday from Kansas.  Got a note from another neighbor from Minneapolis that they had snow and waited an extra day or so to start south.

Later, Lynn

"The Road Not Taken” -- critiqued and Robert Frost's life
