Yesterday, the 21st, was Winter Texan Appreciation Day in Progreso, Tamilupis, Mexico. Expecting a big crowd, we went early and still encountered quite a few people.
After waiting for 5-10 minutes in line outside of Irene's Bakery we were seated with several other people- from Nebraska, Ontario, Iowa, Wisconson.
This sign, entering Mexico has been changed since our visiting other years.
The signage at the top translates: Mexico -- Government of the Republic INDAABIN -- Institute for Management and Valuation of Domestic Goods
Thought this guy's
shirt had rather
interesting read.
some items for Russ & Krista's
kids; will see them on April 2nd
in Elkhart, Texas
Phyllis usually cuts my hair;
but, with her right arm still
bothering from her fall the last
night of our Mexico trip, she
encouraged me to take advantage
of the Mexican barber- $6 including tip.
By 10:00 am the entertainment was
getting started on the main street
of Progreso. This was a group of
youngsters.
stores were offering juice or
margaritas and Tamales.
Couple of larger stores
were giving straw hats with
their store name/logo on the band.
Stopped at "our"
pharmacy and got
supply of some meds
to last the summer until
we return in October.

lunch at a Whataburger and then
some shopping at HEB Grocery store
before stopping at Aloe King - an aloe
vera farm that we get foot cream for me
that has Aloe in it and liquid Aloe for
help with digestion.

On returning home, I
helped neighbor Harold Neher
get the carrier for his
electric scooter mounted
on their car. He hadn't used
it much this winter; plans to use
it when the family goes to Colorado
this summer.
Scooter covered and
strapped down.
More later, Lynn
