Here we are nearly mid-March

 88º with very bright sunshine and high winds here in La Feria, TX at 1:00 pm Saturday.  Prediction is for 97º tomorrow before a bit of a cool down to high of 73º on Monday.

Was up at 4:10 am Thursday with a call to take our friend Darlene to hospital ER.  She woke up with no feeling or use of her right arm.  Phyllis spent all day at the hospital with her while the did various tests.  Affirmed it was a stroke, but "mild".  Tests showed area of stroke with a small area around it of "dead cells".  Phyllis was with her most of Friday, the 10th, but came home mid-afternoon because they were waiting to do another test so many hours after she had eaten.  We did our "mini-celebration" of our 60th Wedding Anniversary by eating out at Las Vegas Café in Harlingen

last evening and then went back to the hospital.  Las Vegas is a very traditional Mexican-American family-owned restaurant that we try to get to each year.  This was the first this season.

Darlene is regaining quite a bit of feeling and some strength in her right arm, and leg.  They haven't determined what caused the stroke, and are leaning towards having her transferred to their rehab unit right there on the same floor in the hospital.  Will see how that turns out.

Just finished slicing up last half of another watermelon.  Really delicious.

A picture I copied from granddaughter Ashley's Facebook page.  They had a bit of snow the last few days and Heath and the kids made this snowman.

This is Valley Baptist Hospital where Phyllis has spent last several days with Darlene.  Phyllis will be heading down there after bit.

We all get heavier as we get older,
because there's a lot more information in our heads.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

 If you are going to try cross-country skiing,start with a small country.

 

I know I got a lot of exercise
the last few years,......
just getting over the hill.

I do have flabby thighs,
but fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll say, 'Well, he looks good doesn't he.'

Hope to get back to this and make another post sometime!  LC
