Michelle here for a week

 59 degrees here in La Feria, TX at 10 pm Thursday.

Had close to 1.75" of rain overnight when the cold front came through here.  Had been 89 degrees yesterday.  

We were a little early at the Harlingen Airport yesterday afternoon when going to pick up our daughter, Michelle, (actually the plane was late) so we stopped at the Iowa Jima monument near the airport and spent some time.  I had not realized that this actual size (to the monument in Washington, DC) is actually the clay mockup made for that DC one.  After the bronze one was made for DC this one was cut into parts and loaded onto 12 flat-bed trucks and shipped to Harlingen.  It took nearly a year to reconstruct it and build the base, made from Indiana Stone.

After we picked up Michelle, we went to Stefano's for supper.

Tonight we played Pegs & Jokers

During the day today we cleaned stuff from our neighbor's house so we can show it to sell.

They have spent 20-some winters there and it took a while to move stuff so we can sort for discarding, selling at upcoming yard sale, keep some ourselves, and some we will take to them next spring.

We are planning to go over the Rio Grande River tomorrow to visit Nuevo Progreso, Tamaulipas, Mexico for breakfast rolls at Rene's Bakery and then have a look-around.

Later, Lynn
