86 degrees at 4:45 pm on Tuesday at Kenwood RV Park in La Feria, Texas.
Last posted Friday -- had many hours at the stage of the Pickin' & Grinnin' Bluegrass Festival west of Houston on Friday and Saturday. I record most of the programs we listen to, not necessarily aiming the camera at the stage, and later convert the files all to audio MP3 and put on flash drives that we can listen to in the pickup driving down the road. Takes a lot of time when not at the stage to get batteries charged, and files moved off the SD cards so have room for more. Anyway, with the programs running till 11 at night it didn't give me a lot of time to post. So here............
We drove the 340 or so miles to Kenwood Sunday, getting here around 5 pm. Opened up the house and unloaded some stuff from the trailer that evening. Monday I was counting the steps taken from the trailer to the house and the pickup to the house, but lost count somewhere between a bazillion and a gazillion. We were really beat that night, but had gotten many of the things opened up at the house. Put up the window awnings, filled the hot tub,
Noticed right away that all our new Bougainvillea plants were gone as well as the stubs from the older ones after freeze in February. Phyllis talked with them at the office and found that edict had come down from corporate that nothing can be planted within four feet of the fence any more. They removed everything in that distance. I had brought my small chain saw with me thinking the big tree at the northwest corner of our house would need some work. Needn't have....tree has been removed completely.
Ate lunch at La Feria Café a few blocks from our place on Monday. Know the waitresses and check-out lady there well.
This morning we drove the 33 miles west to Frank & Pam's house for a little singing practice of the few Men Of A-Chord people who are here now. Haven't sang much for some time and it was fun. Only 7 of us. The leader wasn't able to be there as his daughter, back home in Wisconsin, had emergency surgery of a leg removed due to blood clot and he and his wife drove there. Had one Tenor, four Leads, one Baritone, and one Bass.
We will pick up our daughter at the Harlingen Airport tomorrow afternoon and she will spend a week with us.
Later, Lynn
