Shoe shine (actually cleaner in this case) guy in Progreso.
Asked him if he lived in Progreso and he said no, they
were from Monterey -- that is quite a distance west.

Saturday we went with the Messers to Texas Onion Festival
in Weslaco, Texas

Went early and wasn't too hot then - nice breeze blowing.

Venturing through the various booths.

Sampling one of the Blooming Onions - we shared
one later in the afternoon.

Spent a little time watching and listening to these high school kids

Getting samples of the really sweet 1015 onions

we spent quite a bit of time at the food tent, watching some
cooking ---- and sampling the end products.

This was some good Chicken Salad

And some good sausage stir-fried subs

Looked at some of the classic car display

Not a pink - but a fuchsia Cadillac 

Watched quite a Dancing Horse Show

We sang Edelweiss from  the rear of the congregation at the end of this last church service.  Unfortunately, some of the rude people got up and visited and started exiting while we were singing.

Drove to Santa Rosa for brunch - this table near us were, all but Don, on their way home to
northwest Ohio.

 Bob Raab just got home from the hospital/rehab place yesterday after some 2 months.  Broke his leg just below the hip bone, and at 88 years old, it has been quite a long road.  We, and the Neher's, spent a little time and played some Pegs & Jokers with them.  Neher's are leaving Tuesday and we are leaving next weekend.  Raab's will probably be here until late May while he continues to heal, before heading to Minneapolis, MN

I had left my camera at home, so used my cell phone, which is crappy compared to a decent camera, to take these photos.  They give an image, but I certainly am not proud of them.

GROANER’S CORNER:((  A kindergarten student was having trouble putting on his boots, and asked his teacher for help. Even with her pulling and him pushing, the boots still didn't want to go on. Finally they got both boots on. She grimaced when the little boy said, "They're on the wrong feet."  Sure enough, they were. The teacher kept her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on - this time on the correct feet. The little boy then announced, "These aren't my boots." The teacher sighed and pulled the boots off.
The boy then said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear them."  The teacher felt like crying, but she mustered up the strength to wrestle the boots back onto his feet. "Now," she said, "where are your mittens?"  The boy replied, "I stuffed them in my boots...."
