Great weather in the Valley

76º with bright sunshine and calm wind - here in La Feria, TX at 1:00 pm.  It is 27º in our home-town of Clarinda, IA where they got snow overnight.  Here are photos sent from Clarinda and Villisca this morning; apparently no wind came with the snow as it is certainly piled on the branches.  Facebook also had several postings of snow in Clarinda.  Click on photos to enlarge.

Click HERE to see the RV units in Kenwood as of today  Is a 20 minute trike ride up and down all the streets here in the park.  We have had a lot of people come in over the last 10 days - trailers, motor homes and the rental cabins are now full.

Had a good dinner and nice visit with Dick and Deanne Messer (From Minnesota) at the Stefano's Brooklyn Pizza place on Bus. 83 just west of Harlingen, TX last night.

 We got to watch through
windows while the guys made the
pizza crusts.  They have a 30" pizza and that is the large one that is being thrown in the air.

Friday I was in McAllen by 8:30 am (some 33 miles from our place) for barbershop chorus practice. We are short of guys this year -- and found out one of our baritones had suddenly died of a heart attack the night before.   Phyllis went to lunch with the "red hat" ladies at the Golden Corral in Weslaco, TX at noon,

Have been working on finishing the last part of the wall in the Texas Room.

Have entertainers at the Rec Hall tonight, Church tomorrow, Gaddi's on Monday, to McAllen Tuesday for morning at the Convention Hall and afternoon at Men of A Chord practice.  Thursday to Mission for Show Place for Phyllis to book entertainment and I perform with Men of A Chord at 1:30 pm there.  Back to Kenwood for the 4:00 pm Meet & Greet where the Nebraska people will showcase their state.  On Friday I am back to McAllen for barbershop chorus practice.

GROANER’S CORNER:(( A new York Divorce Lawyer died and arrived at the pearly gates. Saint Peter asks him "What have you done to merit entrance into Heaven?" The Lawyer thought a moment, then said, "A week ago, I gave a quarter to a homeless person on the street." Saint Peter asked Gabriel to check this out in the record, and after a moment Gabriel affirmed that this was true. Saint Peter said, "Well , that's fine, but it's not really quite enough to get you into Heaven." The Lawyer said, "Wait Wait! There's more! Three years ago I also gave a homeless person a quarter." Saint Peter nodded to Gabriel, who after a moment nodded back, affirming this, too, had been verified. Saint Peter then whispered to Gabriel, "Well, what do you suggest we do with this fellow?" Gabriel gave the Lawyer a sidelong glance, then said to Saint Peter, "Let's give him back his 50 cents and tell him to go to Hell."
