Cold, Cold, Cold

Well, officially it is 32 degrees with light freezing rain here in La Feria, TX at 5:40 pm Tuesday as I start this.

Driving home from McAllen after 4 pm today was in sloppy cold weather.

This morning we and Messers went to McAllen to the
Winter Texan Expo at the Convention Center - big crowd

Leaving about 11 am it had really turned cold, and wet.

Had a great lunch at Rudy's Barbecue

After eating we went shopping at Costco in Pharr, TX

I went on to McAllen and spent 2 pm to 4 pm at the
practice session with Magic Valley Men of A-Chord barber shop group

Couple days ago I picked lemons off this tree and oranges
off another tree at one of the neighbor's spots.

With the cold weather we started moving the flowers inside
yesterday - with outside temperature now near 30, good thing.

Oranges, in front; and lemons I picked

First time in two years I cleaned up my work bench.

Open space - was going to eat out in the Texas room
but now it has turned cold - no heat out there!

Monday morning Lee gave a very interesting history lesson on
Texas and Mexico, Spain and the US, at our Spanish class.

Ate at Subway in La Feria Monday - note the hair of the
gal behind the counter.

Phyllis' sister Beth and husband Steve got here just after noon today.  Will be with us until Friday morning when they head to Corpus Christi.  We will show them around some, but with this rotten weather it won't be the most enjoyable.  Here is 10-day forecast for here:

GROANER’S CORNER:((  These two Newfies are building a house. One of them is putting on the siding. He picks up a nail, hammers it in. Picks up another nail, throws it away. Picks up a nail, hammers it in. Picks up another, throws it away. This goes on for a while, and finally his friend comes over and asks him why he is throwing half of the nails away.   He replies, "Those ones were pointed on the wrong end." The buddy gets exasperated and says "You idiot, those nails are for the other side of the house!"

A husband says to his friend: "My wife wasn't happy with the bag and belt I gave her for her birthday but at least the vacuum cleaner works better now."

What's the difference between people who pray in church and those who pray in casinos?   
The ones in the casinos are serious.

Know it's cold up north, too.  Keep warm, Lynn
