Had 35 tickets sold to people in the park (8 of those to people who used to live in the park). Many of us stopped at Dairy Queen here in La Feria about 9:45 pm. Show had ended at 9 pm and it was some 27 miles back to Kenwood. I had left the festivities at the park a little after 1 pm. Phyllis had many games, line dancing, a birthday party for all birthdays all year long, and other things. She was bushed
Rained much of yesterday. Park had a Yard Sale and it dampened that. We did not set anything out this time, so sat on the patio and watched the other people going by.
Need to head up to church now. ----- Today is 100th anniversary of Phyllis' Mom's birthday.
