Last Thursday we joined with the residents at Cliff & Nancy Weldon's site for visiting and munchinig.

Valentine's day we joined many park residents for supper and a bit of entertainment at the Rec Hall.  

We invited Joe, The Veggie Man, and his
wife.  Since everybody in the park know them,
they had an enjoyable evening.

Part of the entertainment Cliff Weldon had was inviting 4 couples to the stage.  Then a series of questions was asked of the ladies on what their husband would answer to various questions about dating and their marriage situations.  The ladies had to answer what they thought their husbands would answer.

The ladies wrote their answers on a sheet of paper.  Then the guys were asked the same questions.  Some of the men answered the same and several not the same.  Then the guys had to answer a different set of questions of what their wives would answer and write their answers down.  Then the ladies were then questioned.  Very interesting, and amusing in most cases.

Our neighbor, Tommy, even cvame to this event.
He normally doesn't attend things at the rec hall.
He is at end of table, and his son, visiting from Dallas
is at his left.  At his right is his "caregiver" who was
in town for a week, from Dallas.

Phyllis did a short skit with the Activity
Director Mashelle

Two quilts were auctioned off.  One can be seen
here.  They raised over $600 for the Sew and Share
quiltiing ladies to buy supplies. 

Phyllis had worked up a list of wedding dates for most
of the married people attending this dinner and Mashelle
read them off and had each couple stand for recognition.
We were about four from the oldest married couple.

Blaine, from Canada, lower left, paid $300 for
one quilt and then had it reauctioned.  It brought
another $200 when Neil, from North Dakota,
bought it.

Well, it is 78º here in La Feria, at 10:15 am Tuesday morning now.  

Had pickup in shop Thursday morning through Monday late afternoon.  Took a lot of time, and money, to replace seal between transmission and motor.  

All for now - to be in McAllen by 1 pm for barbershop practice, then to eat out in McAllen, and at 7:30 pm be attend a McAllen Community Concert there before heading back home.  Lois, from Snow To Sun, will be with us.

More later, LCM
