Cool front with rain in the Rio Grande Valley

44º with rain here in La Feria, TX at 11:00 am Saturday.  Started raining in middle of night and to be cool and rainy until early afternoon.  Had been in the lower 80's yesterday, with a lot of wind.

Wednesday a few of us went with Activity Director Cindy to eat at the Road House in Harlingen and then spent several hours touring THE HARLINGEN ARTS AND HERITAGE MUSEUM

The Museum continuously changes displays, and now they had several rooms on Christmas Trees on display with many different themes.  

Tree at left (and in many photos below) is completely covered

with Teddy Bears.

Toured one older building with several rooms set up displaying early 1900's era items.

Building at right was built in 1904 and was the home of the man who started Harlingen, Texas.

Our group on porch of the 1904 house.

Yesterday, with a warm & mild day, I got part of the roof over the Texas Room cleaned.

Then hauled off 4 containers of leaves & tree seeds that have accumulated on the lot to the west for many years.

While I was on the roof, neighbor to the east, Louise Quinn, cut hair of Phyllis' and then neighbor to the west, Darlene Winslow had hers cut.

When we were last in Cape Girardeau, Phyllis had bought several Christmas decorations for door and in apartment of my brother Don & his wife Vicki.  We received the table centerpiece shown at left from them this week.

This morning we and Pat & Lois Sumner with Harold Williams prepared and served Biscuits & Gravy with Cheesy Scrambled Eggs to just over 20 people at the Rec Hall.
