February 10 to 14, 2013; Cirque du Soleil and Valentine in Snow to Sun Park

FEB  10, Sunday, Cirque du Soleil show
A cloudy, muggy and hot day!  We left the house at noon to drive to Hidalgo State Farm & coliseum where the show was presented.  We were sitting in a good spot with an excellent view.  The show lasted 2.5 hrs with a half hour break.  It was EXCELLENT and AWESOME!   This was our first time seeing the Cirque du Soleil and it was worth every dollar.   Afterwards, we all went to TEXAS STEAK ROADHOUSE where we had a delicious dinner.  It was a busy place but once seated, the service was fast and courteous.  There were 24 of us seated around two tables.  Very noisy, everyone was excited about the show.  We finally arrived home around 6 PM and had a nightcap.  Al, ED and Judy came to join us.

 
FEB  11, Monday, wash day and back to Mexico once again
Warm and cloudy!  Val has a real bad strep throat so she stayed home and didn’t do any exercises.  I called the dentist and got an appointment for noon.  I left at 11:30 AM after dropping Val at the laundry room.  I got back from Mexico at 2:30 PM, picked up Val at the laundry (she was actually doing puzzles in the room next door) and drove home.  We had HH at Charly’s place then left over’s for dinner.  In the evening, we watched a movie.  It is cooling off and still cloudy

 
FEB  12, Tuesday, Debbie’s street party
Cloudy and it little cooler finally, only went up to 78*F!  We went to the Post Office then to Walmart to pick up a few more things we forgot yesterday then I went for a haircut.  We got back in time to get ready for the Party.  At 3:30, we made our way to Pine Street to Debbie and Al’s place.  The party lasted until well past 10 but we came home at 8:30 because of Val’s throat.  Buster, Debbie and Al’s son, provided all the fish that we ate tonight and cooked hush puppies, a common item in the South, sweet dough with jalapenos and deep fried.  He also deep fried the fish, potatoes and onions...what a treat!!!  Others had brought salads, desserts, beans (3 kinds) and a bunch of other stuff.  There were well over 50 people.  It really was a wonderful day spent with good friends.  Judy even got me dancing a waltz!!!

 
FEB  13, Wednesday, cloudy and much cooler
We barely reached low 70’s today; we have a cold wind from the north.  Val went for her exercises this morning then Judy, Louise and her went shopping to the outlets east of here.  Al picked them up at 4 PM.  I took the toilet out, took it apart, cleaned it, changed the seals and put it all back together; what an improvement!  We had H.H at D&L with AL & Judy and Ed.  We went to the club house for hot dogs then came back and found everyone still here but we soon called it quit once the sun went down.

 
FEB  14, Thursday; HAPPY VALENTINE!
Val attended a “Roaring 20’s” luncheon at the club house.  Everyone was dressed up to the nine for the 20’s and 30’s.  There even was an old Model T in front of the club of which we took of few pictures with the girls in front of it (see Picasa link).  Men were not invited except those serving the ladies.  Val and Louise had a really good time.  While she was there, I fixed the vent on the roof which had broken a while back.  When the girls got back, they were still hungry so we went to “Peckers” for a beer and snack.
It is sunny, little wind, dry and near 79*F; the night before was cold, in the low 40’s and going to the upper 30’s tonight!  12 days left in Weslaco, time is flying by!  H.H was at Ed’s place but we called it quit once the sun was down as it cooled right down.
