Busy week again - last Barbershop Chorus practice, attended Maundy Thursdy service, sang in Good Friday service and again this morning

 86 degrees with 19 mph wind out of the south here at La Feria, TX at 1:15 pm Sunday.

Just a few minutes to recount some of our activities.

Darlene's house (now Tom & Lisa's house) with outside of new Texas Room completed.  Tom & Lisa headed for Pensylvania this week.

I had to remove, add "stiffening" boards to back of drawer in camper and get a new slide for one side.  After some hassle (Working on the floor is not as easy on an 80-year-old as it was 20-30 years ago) I got the drawer out, replaced one ball-bearing slide and put screws in some 1"x1" boards to keep the floor from dipping.

Had to disassemble part of the hitch and grease the heavy parts just under the orange hitch piece.  Broken grease zerks makes it necessary to drop them down and slazzer with grease.

After watering the new bushes in back yard for last time this season, I removed the box containing roll-up real for the 100 ft hose and put it in the Texas Room for the summer.

Last Thursday was Phyllis' birthday and after Darlene and we went to Maunday Thursday service in Harlingen and then when we returned home we had the birthday cake Darlene had made and also had Tom & Lisa Urban come by to celebrate.

They are the couple that bought Darlene's house.

Well, you probably didn't know it, but the last line was typed about 1:25 pm -- it is now 5:56 pm.

We took Darlene and went to Llano Grande RV Park where we had a great lunch with Izzy (from the Barbershop group --and originally from Marengo, IA) and several of her neighbors.  Very enjoyable afternoon with great food.

Great ham, green beans, baked pineapple casserole, scalloped potatoes, rolls -- and apple or lemon pie for desert.   And, several varieties of wine to start the afternoon.

Darlene took her weekly Sunday telephone call from her grandson after the meal was finished.

Got a lot of "treasure" from under

my recliner chair.

Thursday evening we took Darlene with us to the presentation of the "Last Supper" at the Methodist Church in Harlingen.  At right - our Choir Director and his wife performed a song during the presentation.

We had our last practice for the 2023-2024 season of Men & Women of A-Chord on Tuesday.  Down in numbers as many have left for the north.

Well, is now 7:30 pm Sunday- 80º outside with a 7-10 mph breeze.

Will close up for now, Lynn
