Mabel's Clinic in Progreso, Mexico

59 degrees at 9:30 am Wednesday as I start this.  Woke up to 49 degrees.  Very windy.  Yesterday Harlingen, TX set a record high of 93 degrees before the wind changed to come out of the north.  Winds in the 30mph plus after that happened.  This was the first time in a couple weeks that we closed the windows.  Our Mobile Home creaked and the second roof made sounds as we were going to bed.  Quieted during the night, but is back - 18 mph from northwest with gusts to 23 mph.

Pictures of roof tile all 
in place.  Don't remember if
I posted this before.  Still
have to rip some 2"x4"s to
make narrow strips to 
lay over (under) the seams.


 Painting one of the
scrap 4' x 8' thin panelling
I got from the scrap pile
last year.

Starting to cover the wall of
the mobile home.  Put a breaker
panel in (just behind the stepladder
in this photo) but it has sheets
of plywood and metal roofing
in front of it.  So trying to work
that into the wall before I get
to the place where can go under
the trailer to the main electric box.









Yesterday Phyllis and Patty
went with a van load of
Kenwood people to Progresso, 
Mexico where they visited Mabel's
Clinic and a school.

They stopped at a couple homes.




 They stopped at a school.
Even though they had taken
items to donate to the kids,
the administrators took the
items -- to pass out later.











Went to exercise this morning.  Wore insulated hooded sweatshirt with short pants.
Have our pickup at a repair shop.  All sorts of warning lights came on the other day and Phyllis
came back home.  After I looked at the computer complaints it wouldn't start.  So had a mechanic that is about 4 blocks south of us came out and after some tinkering it ran, with heavy black smoke.  He drove it back to the shop and we are now waiting on some sort of air-intake sensor replacement.  Should have it back soon.  Have lots of offers from neighbors to use their cars................maybe should just go for a drive!

Later, Lynn
