Busy in the Valley

 72º here in La Feria, TX at 4:00 pm - which is the high for the day.  I showed $2.729 for gas last time near us, today it is $2.979 - thanks mostly to the AssHat Democrats in power in Washington, DC.  We were oil independent before the communist-socialist Dems got in power.


This last Tuesday evening was our first-of the season-performance for the Men & Women of A-Chord barbershop chorus.

Here are some shots of several quartets that performed at the intermission.





Most members are present here, probably 4-5 not.  This is our new picture for posters this year.  Photo taken that night at The Grove.




At right is photo I had Bob Lemkull, Director, take when he re-arranged us at practice this Friday for standing on the risers.  Russ Sandry is out of photo at far left.


Got Phyllis' trike back Thursday.  Had been in shop for a couple weeks getting shifter to rear derailleur replaced.






Have been crushing cans several times a week -- for the Park Association.  

Take to recycler for $.55 a lb. as aluminum once a month or so.





Last Tuesday we spent the morning at the McAllen Convention Center at the Winter Texan Expo, did some shopping (including getting $1.50 hotdog & Coke specials for lunch) at Costco and then went to Doris Winter's place in San Juan.  Had a good visit, went out to eat with her and then took her with us to The Grove in San Juan to our Men & Women of A-Chord concert.

Thursday spent most of the day at the second ShowCase where Phyllis booked some more entertainment for 2024.  This time our Activity Director, Cindy, went with us.

On this Second-of-the-season ShowCase, there were quite a few first-timers.  At right is just one of about 25 entertainers, or groups that performed their 9-minute set.


This last week has been a whirlwind--something in the park or out-of-the park every day and/or evening.  Next week will be about the same, with different events coming up.


This was on Facebook -- reminds us of my Mom in the kitchen back near Oconto, Nebraska in the 50's.


Later, Lynn
