Nice weather days in November

71º here in La Feria, TX at 6:35 pm on Sunday.  Has been a terrific weather day.

Drove to downtown La Feria this morning to eat biscuit, gravy, eggs & coffee at the La Feria Cafe.  Not a big crowd this morning as we were there before the church crowd comes in, though they were starting to arrive by the time we left.

This is the back of our lot, from across the fence.

After we got back to the house we took the trikes for a spin.  Rode a little over 3.5 miles on the streets just north of Kenwood.

This is towards the west end of Kenwood

Some of the area on other side of the fence is cleaner.

This was Saturday - looked like might storm - didn't.

Phyllis was making cookies Saturday - Chocolate Chip!

 I went ahead this morning and finished riding 10.44 miles.  Some of the views in the park.

This photo is of one of the lots on the south side, towards the east end.  Carl Pinkereton had it finished cemented so the entire area is covered.  He agreed to buy Pat & Lois Sumner's 2nd mobile home in August and moved into it, paying rent until the papers could be all drawn up.  He issued a check for the sale price which the office of Kenwood handled.  Patrick was in Kansas and did not get the tax paid up to date until he returned to the park in early October.  When all the paperwork was done the Sumners and Carl were called up to the office to sign all the final papers, deed, etc.  The office staff couldn't find Carl's check to hand over to the Sumner's.  They did find it the next day, but in the mean time Carl backed out of the agreement and bought a different mobile home, on the north side from Minga.  He moved his stuff out of Sumner's place and into Minga's.  He had removed and gotten rid of several items from Sumner's place (I suppose since at the time he did it--from the middle of August to the near-end of October--he assumed he was buying it and thought the items were "junk".  It included a linen cabinet, tall enough that when he took it out he damaged the ceiling; a desk, and a shelf attached to the wall above the laundry area where he left holes in the wall and also cut out a 2"x4" in the shed area.  He admitted to Pat that he had done this but has no intention of returning anything or paying for them.  Lot of hard feelings and Lois is so mad she can hardly do anything but tell anyone all about it and get really flustered and up-tight.  Not a good situation--assume there will be some court action.  Carl said he his having the mobile home he bought moved a couple hundred feet to the other side of the park because "he likes it better there".  A shame to have hard feelings in the park and will see how it plays out.

Went to San Benito, TX last Friday for blood draw and will see our regular physician on Monday.

 This afternoon I worked some more on the back of the pickup.  When put in the upper shelf I had to remove some of the acrylic which forms a shelf on the sides to the rear.  Got them cut different and put back on.

I also got some of the shelves cleaned up in the Texas Room, but have much more to go.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A minister dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.Saint Peter addresses this guy, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?"The guy replies, "I'm Joe Cohen, taxi-driver, of New York City."Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi-driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff and Enter the Kingdom." The taxi-driver goes into Heaven with his robe and staff.  Next it's the minister's turn. He stands erect and booms out, "I am Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Mary's for the last 43 years."Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the minister, "Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom.""Just a minute," says the minister. "That man was a taxi-driver and he gets a silken robe and golden staff. How can this be?""Up here, we work by results," says Saint Peter. "While you preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed."
