Ah, sunshine!

83º here in La Feria, TX at 11:30 am Monday with mostly sunny skies.  Lawn mowers are running outdoors.  (a Latino crew does it every-other Monday).

Bottom of sign post-4"x 4" pretty rotten.

Stub of sign post after I started digging.  Lots of
cement to chip away.
Backed into a sign post near the laundry, so spent much of Sunday afternoon digging it out and replacing the wooden 4" x 4" post.




Sign post back up - don't think most people
knew it was knocked down.













Thought this trash dump sign in the Burger
King was a little different!



















Gas was $2.33 at Sam's Club Sunday
but generally $2.42 to $2.52 in the valley

















Phyllis spent much of Saturday with neighbor Donna Montgomery and helping her with ambulance to Valley Baptist Hospital and waiting with her there in Emergency.  She was later transferred to ICU.  We tried to visit Saturday evening and again Sunday afternoon, but she is "out of it" on meds -- was waiting some tests to see where she was loosing blood internally.  Phyllis finally was able to get hold of her Grandson in Phoenix yesterday so the family is involved now.  Donna has only the grandsons and, I think, one brother who is not close.



Kenwood put on a BBQ Chicken lunch on Friday attended by most of the people now in the park.
