Some of the guys on the first game

 Thursday evening I played Bean-Bag-Baseball with the bunch at the Rec Hall.  Our neighbor Harold is very unstable on his feet, so I held him up as he threw the bags.

One guy had to play on the girls team (to even out the numbers)
the first game and Ardel at the end is the score keeper.

Second game some mix-up was done - first part of opposing team.

Rest of opposing team on second game.

Some of our team on second game.
Harold is closest one, seated by me.

Rest of our team - second game.

Rained quite a bit Friday night - Saturday morning

More of the standing water Saturday morning.

Saturday I clipped enough lettuce and spinach leaves for a salad

My tomatoes have been growing a lot of plant, with a lot of blossoms, but only one tomato has set on.  They are growing up through the bird netting, but stopping at the screen (I found in the trash) laying over the top.  So, I elevated the screen by the height of four 2" x 4" boards.  Will see what happens by the time we return at the end of the week.

 Saturday night we went out to eat at Stefanno's in Harlingen.  Left to right - Bill Oberholzer, Lynn and Phyllis Miles, Patty Steckelberg, Jan and Lynn Frye, with Twilla Oberholzer front right.  Jan is Phyllis' cousin who lives just south of Lincoln, NE - they are at an RV Park a few miles from us for a few weeks.  The pizza is a 30" pizza - a specialty of this place.

This is a lot of pizza -- but with the seven of us we made a pretty good dent in it.  Had a few left-overs for the Frye's and the Oberholzer's - we couldn't take any as we left early this morning for a week (I thought I could eat some while driving up here today, but that was voted down)

What is still on the platter went into take-home boxes.

Plan to be over at the Carnival Cruise Line dock before 12 Noon tomorrow (about 2 miles from our motel).  Had to give them a check-in time several weeks ago and can't show up before 12 Noon.  With some 2800 passengers to all check in tomorrow will probably be a line.  We can leave our pickkup here at the motel and they will take me to the ship after I deliver the girls and the luggage there earlier.

Hope to report in daily from the WiFi center on the ship during the week.  With Verizon telling me we will be charged $3 per minute while on the ship, using their repeater stations, I don't think will be doing much phoning or texting, but will keep in touch via the computer.
