We picked up some meds at our usual pharmacy, they usually have orchids and this was no exception
At left is photo of my new wedding band. I must tell the story...I got a simple band when we married 63 years ago. I wore it up until late 1974 when I caught it on a nail while coming down a wooden ladder at the grain elevator we worked in. It about took off my finger and I put it away. When we sold the elevaator in 1994 Phyllis suggested I put it back on. Well, up to that time I was a little heavy -- weighing in the 230+ lbs area. By the time we retired in 2009 I was weighing around 210-215 lbs. Starting about a year ago when I went on Mounjaro for my diabetis -- was around the 210 lbs mark. Since then I have come down to the mid 175 lb. area and the ring had gotten rather loose. Several times when washing in a public restroom it would slip off and I would grab it and put it back on. When we got off our cruise in early December I had it on, but when we got back to our place here in La Feria I didn't have it. I called the two places we had stopped to use the restroom on our drve back and left my name if it showed up. Never got any callback, assumed it was gone. Now come forward to when the handle to the driver's inside door brook off--I had to remove the panel of the door to work on it. I had a lot of stuff, including tire pressure guage, small tools and bug spray in the "drawer" at the bottom of the door, and there was the ring. Guess it slipped off when we were driving and I had my arm down. But, it was still so large it would slip off at anytime so I just quit wearing it. Phyllis insisted on getting one in Mexico (a little less expensive, I presume, than here on the US side of the River) which does fit snug----so here it is.

Last evening we had Tom & Lisa Urban over for supper and a good visit. Tom is Betty Schneider's son. They bought Darlene Winslow's place and do a lot of cooking for the park when they are here. Tom has relatives in Pizen, Czechia and will spend nearly three months over there August, Sept & Oct this year visiting relatives and hellping with some expansion in a bakery. Tom does a lot of baking. Lisa will visit him over there for a week or so. The both of them have travelled quite extensively in Europe.
Six days until we pull out with the trailer heading north. Right after we help perform the Cantata with orchestra at the 9:00 am service at First Methodist Church in Harlingen next Sunday.
Later, Lynn
