Busy few days.

71º here in La Feria, TX at 8:00 pm Tuesday evening.  To look forward to 44 mph winds tomorrow and down to 36º on Thursday morning.  Lots of changeable weather in this place.

We both went to Men of A-Chord barbershop chorus practice today.  Drove to Snow To Sun RV Park and rode with Bob Wiese, Dennis Hill and Dave Miller over to McAllen, TX 



After getting back we picked up Patty Steckelberg at our house and drove in to Harlingen to Chick-fil-A for supper.  Always very good eating there.  They are always extremely busy, but handle things very quickly and politely.   Last night Patty took us out to eat at Gatti's Pizza in Harlingen.




Friday we took Darlene Winslow with us and Patty and went to Weslaco City Park where the RHP group of three parks had a joint gathering.  Was probably 1/3 as many attended that had last year.  Had Pulled Pork or Brisket sandwiches with Cole-slaw, chips and water or soda pop.
They had a lot of drawings, but was sort of rigged towards the Snow To Sun people.

 


Really enjoyed Terry Smith Sunday evening at the Rec Hall here in Kenwood RV.  You can view his program by clicking HERE



Saturday evening Phyllis helped Theresa Van Onen, from Canada, with the 50+ Wedding Anniversary Celebration.

Our neighbor, Harold Neher, is finally feeling good enough to be out and to programs and he and LaRhoda are in photo at left.


Phyllis & Theresa did a fine job with their program.
Terrie and Charlie Servin, from Illinois were the only couple who have a 50th year this year.




Seven years ago we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary.  Some of my memory photos came up with that year.  There were five couples celebrating that year.  We are the only couple of them that are still here in the park.  There were a lot more people staying in the park then.

On the way home from the Rio Grande Valley that year we pulled our trailer some 12,000 miles, drove over 17,000 miles, seeing much of the Southwest, the West Coast, the Northwest, all the way back to Michigan and down to Ohio and then home to Iowa.  Got home in Clarinda the middle of September, and left for our winter home the middle of October.  Oh to be young enough to do that again!



Sunday, after church, we at lunch at La Feria Cafe with Harold and LaRhoda Neher, Patty, and Lola Shoppe.  Many other friends were eating there, also.





Had quite a sunset Sunday evening.  As usual, the camera does not pick up the vibrant colors the eye can see.
We take Patty to the Harlingen Airport tomorrow evening for her flight back to Kansas City.  Has been a good month of February with her visiting.

More later.
