February 5 to 9, 2013; Dentist and McAllen walking race competition

FEB  5, Tuesday, Back to the Dentist in Mexico and carpet cleaning
10 AM and it is 78*F already!  It’s going to be a warm one.  Took Tucker for a walk and Val took the day off from exercises and walks.  I went with Dave to check on a canvas place for his truck then came home.  We got a text message from Lynden and Charlene about picking up “Gracie's” ashes at the hospital which I did then I went to Mexico about my teeth then came home.  We had the carpets cleaned today and when I got home, he was just leaving.  We went over to Debbie and Al’s place for a “left-over” get together where we ate most of the left over from the Super Bowl party.  We ended up playing a game of bowling on Wii which was a lot of fun...Americans VS Canadians; we won!  We came home, sat outside for a while, watched “VEGAS” then went to bed.  It went up to 94*F today!

 
FEB  6, Wednesday,
Heavy dark clouds and very humid this morning but no rain yet, temperature at 74*F (22*C) by 8 AM.  The sun eventually came out and temperature got up to upper 80’s.  We finally put the A/C on in the afternoon.  We went for a few items at Walmart then came home and had happy hour with Al & Judy, Ed & Joanne who is feeling a bit better and Louise and Dave who is coming down with a cold too.  The four of us went to the Elk’s hall for Italian spaghetti dinner ($5.95 includes salad, bread, drink and dessert then came home and called it a night after a nightcap.

 
FEB  7, Thursday, Weslaco
Cloudy and humid again; no wind and warm, that was our day! Not much to report on this day, we did go play shuffle board in the afternoon with Louise & Dave then cooled off in the clubhouse with a beer and a few dances to live music.  We ended up at Charles’ place with the rest of the gang.  Came home, had dinner and watched the tube in the evening.

 
FEB  8, Friday
Same weather system in the morning however it did improve as the day went on and the sun did come out but much cooler than what it’s been.  We went out with Dave and Louise to Alamo and Donna looking for an RV Service centre which we finally found then we went for lunch at “Peckers” Pub.  A stop at Walmart then home for H.H.  Al and Judy joined us and eventually Ed.  IT got quite cool when the sun went down so we called it early.  Val made a marvellous dinner consisting of vegetables only.  We got a text form my daughter, Rochelle, that they bought a brand new Mercedes SUV...WOW!!!!  Congratulation!!

 
FEB  9, Saturday to McAllen for organized walking race
Cloudy, humid but warm and windy!  We left around 10:30 AM. for McAllen Sports Field where there was a walking race planned by the city as part of on-going festivities in the area.  There were over 80 people registered for this senior race.  It began at noon with the officials giving everyone a break down on the rule then everyone was invited on the field for a warm up then the race began.  The race was divided into 3 heat; two for the ladies and one for the men.  Our friends Debbie came in third and Cookie came in first in the men’s heat.  I took quite a few pictures and posted a few.  Val did great but had really bad stomach crams and unfortunately had to quit on the last leg but she did great and even got compliments from the officials about her style of walking fast.  We came home for some meds for her stomach then headed back to PIZZA HUT in Weslaco to join the rest of the gang.  More pictures, more laughs and we came home for the evening.  We have really STRONG winds right now and it is still 74*F (22*C) outside.
