Cool down in the RGV

48º with overcast skies here in La Feria, TX at 11:00 am Wednesday as I start this.  Bit of a change in weather - has been in the 80's the last week or so.  To be in the 40's the next several mornings!  Know that doesn't sound cold to you northerners, but it is certainly a change for us.

Last Sunday morning we went to Santa Rosa, about 6 miles
north of us (town of just under 3,000 population) for
breakfast.  This lady, Lupe, and her daughter own and run it.

Really small coffee shop in Santa Rosa

Waiting for our breakfast.  The daughter took this photo.

Phyllis thinks the daughter may own the restaurant.
Forgot her name.

Drove through some countryside to the west of Santa Rosa
and then on back south to our park.

Santa Rosa Cemetery on west edge of town.

Saw couple fields of these, weren't sure what they were.

Phyllis took a closer look, said most of the pods were
empty - thought maybe they were the sesame seeds we had
heard are grown in this area.

Neighbor Carol has had numerous roof repairs to her
shingles -- finally getting a new metal roof put over it.

Not many grapefruit left from what we picked 3-4 weeks ago

Texas room looks bigger when cleaned
out for the yard sale last Firday-Saturday.

time we have been back in the main Rec Hall since
finishing wall work done 

A few lights up at our place

Thought I had pictures of the yard sale stuff -- had quite a few things out and made some space when they were all gone.

GROANER’S CORNER:((  As a little girl climbed onto Santa's lap, Santa asked the usual, "And what would you like for Christmas?"  The child stared at him open mouthed and horrified for a minute, then gasped: "Didn't you get my E-mail?"

===============================

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.  "In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle," he said. "You may pass through the pearly gates," Saint Peter said.  The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells." Saint Peter said, "You may pass through the pearly gates."  The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's glasses.  St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"  The man replied, "They're Carol’s."
