Cold (for south Texas) day

 62º and chilly here in Kenwood RV in La Feria, TX at 5:30 pm Saturday as I start this.  Had been raining last day or so, but was just overcast all day today--chilly north wind all day.  Haven't heard any official reading, but I would guess we got between one and two inches of rain.

There was an all-park yard sale today and we had a few things out.

Last Monday most of the barbershop chorus, with spouses, gathered at noon at Italian Restaurant Bella Mia's in McAllen.  Director Bob Lemkuil, below, had celebrated his 88th birthday on Thanksgiving Day--just after he had knee replacement surgery and he had asked for this gathering.

Bob only missed one practice, and was leading us this Tuesday, though someone brought a wheel chair so he could maneuver around some while directing.

Must put in here a few of the more than a dozen pictures I have "painted by number" on the phone.

The Bougenvelia bushes in our back yard have been brilliant and I have been replenishing the flower vases every few days.

Phyllis has been putting out Christmas decorations.

Several more of the "regulars" have arrived at the park this last week.

We sing in the church choir tomorrow morning, have barbershop chorus practice 30 miles west of here on Tuesday, church choir practice Wednesday evening which will be a little longer as we practice for the Christmas Cantata we will be performing in at both services next Sunday, the 15th.  Then in the afternoon of the 15th we perform with the barbershop chorus in Mission, TX, some 35 miles west of La Feria.  Glad I have got my voice back that I lost a couple weeks ago!

Had a "crowd" of 10 people at the first park pot-luck on Wednesday night.

Take care, and keep in touch with us of what you are doing.  Lynn
