Last week of March

75º here in La Feria, TX at 11:30 am Sunday March 24th.  Guess I haven't written for a bit  Will try to catch up.

At the vanilla section in one of the stores.

Last Thursday we rode with Dick and Deanne Messer to Nuevo Progreso, Mexico, just south of  Weslaco, Texas where they were having their annual spring "Tourist Day" celebration.

This was not a Tequila drink - it was straight Tequila -- only
a few sips was enough.  The peanuts were good, though

Venders were in the street and at least 2 stages were set up

We were sitting at the main stage, with Dick & Deanne behind us.

Several cute kids were seated around us for a while

We watched several different dance groups

Paying for the vanilla

Heading to the car with our new straw hats.

barbecue at Willy's.

Maybe this is Barbershop Harmony

Saturday we ate lunch in Pharr at
Rudy's where we met Winters

At Doris & Lyle Winters' place

Doris has a nice flower patch

Look at the Texas Bluebonnets!

Somebody shook the coke, so it fizzed over the top of
Bobi's glass

 Played several games of Pegs & Jokers that afternoon.

Gas has edged up lately - now from $2.27 to $2.32 per gal

Used Chlorox to take the green off the carport roof edge

Our Aloe plant is blooming

Did some repainting on front of house

Both the upper wall and the Texas Star repainted

 Couple photos from Highway 2 and Interstate 29 just west of our Clarinda, IA home about 40 miles.  The whole area along the Missouri River is flooded.

There are daily news articles in the local papers about the illegal immigrants who are crossing the border along the Rio Grande River where there are still no walls.  Many days there are 1,000 or more picked up and have to be handled, most from Central America, many bringing kids who are already sick.  If the bone-headed liberal Democrats in Washington (and the rest of America) would get their heads out of their asses and get the wall finished it would stem some of the billions of dollars that are being spent on these illegal immigrants in way of the housing, welfare, medical costs being spent all the annually rather than a single expenditure in getting the wall finished.  There are many sections of wall along our area, but there are many openings and sections that walls are not in place.  The Democrats want them all in so they can vote for their damned socialism and ruin the entire country.  Nuff said.
