Ah, good weather, finally

Well it is 70º at 11:45 am Saturday.  10-day weather forecast is at right.  Not bad temperature with some pretty high winds showing at the bottom.

 Had a good turn out at bean bag baseball at the rec hall last Thursday evening.  With Ardell gone for the evening Dave Gilmore tried to keep track of the scoring.





 Yesterday, Friday, Phyllis had to set up a booth advertising Kenwood RV Park at the Harlingen Welcome Center.  I accompanied here, helping set up and handing out papers on the park.  There was only one other RV Park represented, but several hotels, senior centers, travel people, Zoo from Brownsville, etc.

Weather had been very cold, wet and windy, but Friday turned out to be overcast but fairly warm - in upper 60's with light breeze so had a lot of people stop (mostly to pick up free stuff, but some were genuinely interested)



This telephoto shot shows we were in the middle
of everything.
This morning, Saturday, Phyllis helped with breakfast at the Rec hall by taking in money.  I helped later by helping get rid of some of the biscuits and gravy, sausage and eggs.


GROANER’S CORNER:((  A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows every week and began to understand what the magician does in every trick.  Once he understood that, he started shouting in the middle of the show: Look, it's not the same hat. Look, he is hiding the flowers under the table! Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades? The magician was furious but couldn't do anything, it was the captain's parrot after all. One day the ship had an accident and sunk. The magician found himself on a piece of wood, in the middle of the ocean, with the parrot of course. They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word. This went on for a day, and another, and another. After a week the parrot finally said: OK. I give up. What'd you do with the boat ?

A cop pulls a car over on the highway for speeding. When he asks for the driver's license, the driver argued, "Speeding??? But officer, I was only trying to keep a safe distance between my car the the car in back of me."

Census Taker: 'How many children do you have?' 
Woman: 'Four.' 
Census Taker: 'May I have their names, please?' 
Woman: 'Eenie, Meenie, Minie and George.' 
Census Taker: 'Okay, that's fine. But may I ask why you named your fourth child George?' 
Woman: 'Because we didn't want any Moe.'
