Heavy overcast skies and 89 degrees in the Rio Grande Valley

 74º at 8:15 pm here in La Feria, TX, Tuesday -- been very windy and dry.  I'M BACK!  Now is 89º here in La Feria at 4:00 pm Wednesday.  Went off to edit accumulated photos and took me 3 hours into the night.  This morning we took Maria & Sal with us to Brownsville, TX, about 32 miles south of here, and went to the SAS shoe store, then out to eat in a very Mexican Restaurant.  Sal & Maria had to order for us as menu was in Spanish.  Very good meal, whatever we had.


















Last week we drove over to Ranchero Village RV where Leonard & Nonie Lund, originally from near Sioux City, IA but now live down here premaritally.  Our friends from near Salina, KS were staying in that park in their 5th-wheel for a couple weeks while Bill is getting some major dental work done in Mexico.  We ate supper with them and then played a few games of Pegs & Jokers.



The sisters who bought and just moved into Pat & Lois Sumner's trailer had an open house Sunday.


Monday evening we had a very enjoyable meal of Corned Beef & Cabbage for St. Patrick's Day.

They had quite a few contests of various nature with three contestants each.  Phyllis was picked in the one to paint a Leprechaun. 



Phyllis came in second, but the guy at the 1st place table had a bunch of friends who whooped and hollered when calling for best of.
















Last week the had Appreciation Day for the residents.  Lots of games played indoors - it was 98º that afternoon - and in the Musical Chairs Phyllis came in second with the lady's set and I came in 2nd in the men's set.
She didn't take my picture.




After about 3 or 4 years, the stump to the tall tree that I had planted and it froze and was cut down, finally deteriorated to the point I could nock it loose.

Finally cut all the tops off all the plants in the back yard except the one we had covered with a tarp when it froze back in February.


Have mapped out our route and gotten reservations in Texas, Arkansas and finally in Cape Girardeau on the way home.  Plan to leave a week from today - the 25th of March, getting to Cape on the 28th.

Later, Lynn
