Thursday

77º degrees here in La Feria, TX at 9:00 am as I start this - high predicted of 85º
Ever been in a place where you wonder how you
got there and how you will get back?


Been a while since I posted.  Monday we went to Gatti's Pizza with about 25 people from the park.  Phyllis ran the Bingo with Don Ferguson calling the numbers -  rolls were served while playing Bingo and then they were let loose on the salad bar, pizza and potato bar/spaghetti bar.


I cut and painted scrap plywood for by the front step.

Think it helps give a "finished" look to it.

Tuesday I drove the 30-some miles west to McAllen
to practice with the Men of A-Chord barbershop group.





Still small group as many not in the Valley from the North.  Had quite a few Leads - part I sing.  Two hours a week is not much practice and I am trying to put in practice at home.










Yesterday I started putting screens on the newer roof portion of the Texas room.  Works fine until the sun gets shining direct and heating up.  Will work on it as soon as this is posted.








Yesterday I finally started working on these
strips I bought in November of 2016.

Got them painted - will put them on the
ceiling to cover the joints of ceiling tile.





Phyllis spent much of yesterday at DonWes Flea Market with a booth that Kenwood had set up advertising for people to bring their RV's to the park.  Talked with quite a few and handed out literature.  Seemed to be some serious interest.

Today she and Manager Rosie are to attend a meeting for Park Activity Directors at the Snow To Sun RV Park.

GROANER’S CORNER:((  A man solves the problem of too many visiting relatives.  He borrowed money from the rich ones and loaned it to the poor ones.   Now none of them come back.

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. The brunette balances their checkbook, then takes their last $600 dollars out west to another ranch where a man has a prize bull for sale.  Upon leaving, she tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I’ll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home."  The brunette arrives at the man’s ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she does want to buy it. The man tells her that he can sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news.  She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I’ve bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home."
The telegraph operator explains that he’ll be glad to help her, then adds, "It’s just 99 cents a word."
Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left. She realizes that she’ll only be able to send her sister one word.  After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send her the word, ‘comfortable.’"  The telegraph operator shakes his head. "How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her the word, ‘comfortable’?"  The brunette explains, "My sister’s blonde. She’ll read it very slow."
