Happy New Year!

 78 degrees with bright sunshine and 15 mph wind out of the south here in La Feria, TX at 3:00 pm Sunday, New Years Eve.  

Attended church in Harlingen this morning along with Darlene Winslow.  Have a few weeks off from the choir account director is on a vacation to family in the northeast US.

Darlene -- Theresa and Bill Van Oenen joined us

and went to Roosters Country Cafe on the very western edge of Harlingen -- within a few blocks of La Feria on Business 83 Highway.

Well, we have done a lot in 2023.  Performed in many concerts with Men & Women of A-Chord in the spring.  Attended many Bluegrass Festivals -- in Georgia, North Carolina, Missouri, and Nebraska.  Attended Cabbage Family Reunion in Arkansas. Visited our daughter in Ohio, our son and all his family in eastern Iowa.  Attended Granddaughter Emily marriage to Derek Schlegel in Marengo, IA in September.  Visited with brother Don and wife Vicki in Missouri a couple times.  Visited with Harold & LaRhoda Neher in Kansas a couple times.  Visited with Don & Lawrence Ferguson, Larry & Gail Ferguson and Helen Ferguson.  Spent one evening in Branson with Steve Baldridge and later saw him perform with his brothers at Shephard of the Hills theater.  Drove to Minneapolis, MN to visit with Bob & Bobi Raab and spent much of a week with other Kenwood RVer's at State Center, IA for annual Summer Rally.  Also, had our Clarinda house re-shingled this summer.  Had most of our family come to Clarinda in June to help me celebrate my 80th birthday.  Just a few weeks ago we spent a week driving to Florida & back after attending Funeral for my brother Darrell's wife.  Got to spend a few days with Darrell & Jonathon. 

Hope all have a Happy & Prosperous New Year in 2024
