Our 5 month winter stay in Texas about over - leave tomorrow

 72º here in La Feria, TX at 8:45 pm on Saturday.

Been a busy day.

Started out with a Birthday Breakfast (for Phyllis) at IHOP.

Then we drove by the First Methodist Church parkiing lot in Harlingen to see where we could park our pickkup with our travel trailer in the morning.  Had not paid any attention to the far side of the lot and where I thought we would go in didn't work, so got our bearings to come off 6th Street, make a wide circle and park heading back to the street.  Will get there before 8 am; report in our chairs for the Cantata at 8:30, starts at 9:00 am.  Then there is to be a breakfast for the choir and 7 orchestra members who will be playing.

Here are some pictures of the over-two-hour practice Wednesday evening:












Got the golf cart charged and cover put on

Got all outside windows and doors covered with
insulatiion.  Windows onto Texas room, not.

Window awning down, and though I didn't
get a picture, I coverd the Texas Room door
with steel like the window on the left of the 
door that I did not take down this winter.


Got the hot tub drained, dried and Damp Rid put in for summer
I was able to give the propane tank covers a
fresh coat of white paint.








Dish receivers packed away to use in Clarinda.

Have the trailer hooked to the pickup, chocks removed from the wheels.  Will sleep in the trailer tonight and pull out in the morning for Harlingen.
Have RV park reservation at a park north of Houston in Dayton, TX for tomorrow night - some 380 miles. Then on Monday 480 miles to Kinsett, Arkansas.  Tuesday we drive 240 miles to Cape Camping in Cape Girardeau where we will stay while visiting brother Don and his wife Vicki.
Had planned to drive on Friday to Marengo, IA to spend time with family.  But, Phyllis' cousin Judy Heuer passed away and her funeral will be on Friday so we are now thinking of going to Clarinda on Thursday afternoon, attend the funeral on Friday and then drive to Cam's late Friday without the trailer and visit with them over Easter weekend.  Will see.

Later, Lynn
