Another day like yesterday in terms of weather, hot and humid!
We got an exciting phone call yesterday; my daughter and son-in-law are making plans to come to San Antonio for 10 days in January. We are very excited about the prospect of entertaining them here and San Antonio. Now I’ll be counting the days!!!!
After our morning routine, Val did puzzles at the club house and I dumped our tanks, backed up my files and pictures on the computer, ordered a new pillow that Val wants and thinks it will help her neck, then watched football. Afterwards, we sat outside for a drink and our new neighbours; Jan and “De Wayne” came over and sat with us for a drink and a chat. In the evening, we watched the last episode of “Survivors”, of course. We also watched the President’s speech at the memorial for all those kids that were killed in Newton, CT....so bloody sad! I sincerely hope the President awakes and motivates Congress to make some changes with the right to bear arms!!!
It rained overnight and right now it is overcast and 68*F but going up to 80*F by the afternoon. I got propane this morning (a truck comes around the Park) and paid $19.25, not bad. After Val’s exercise and dance lessons, we went for a drive and to find some more caches; we found one but it was destroyed! Once home, I went over to Art’s place to check out on his new tablet but he wasn’t home so I went to the club house where happy hour was happening and I found him. We ended up meeting new people, Mark and Joanne who are avid geo-cachers. Art (Cookie) thinks he will have to send his tablet back as he can’t get the memory card out to replace it with a bigger storage capacity. After HH we went home and had dinner and watched the news and read.
Sunny and very warm today but no humidity. We went to Nuevo Progresso to see our dentist. Val had an adjustment that she wanted done and I just wanted a check-up. We had a quick beer and came home. The wind is picking up a bit making it very comfortable. Val loaded more music on her I-Pod. She download CD’s on the computer, chooses the song she wants then uses “I Tunes” to load it on the I-Pod.
Windy, hot, overcast with sunny breaks and humid, that was our day! After our morning rituals, we went geo-caching around Weslaco. On Business 83, we found a really good Chinese Restaurant with a cheap smorg...$6.99 for all you can eat and the food was excellent. After lunch we continued on with our searches and ended finding a dozen more caches. Once home, we went to the club house for hamburger, chips, ice tea for $2.50 and an ice cream sundae for $1.00. We came home and stopped at Al for a quick drink then came home. Oh yeah! Almost forgot, found a Shell Station that sold diesel at $3.70 so I filled up. Also sent e-mails with our pictures for X-MAS.
We have a cold front coming through, dropping the temperature down to 65*F (16*C) and winds gusting to 30 MPH at times. Exercises for Val, walks with Tucker for me then we went shopping for X-Mas groceries and stocked up on booze too. We came home, put everything away and relaxed inside as it is just too windy outside.
If you want to call 75*F winter!? And it also means that the days are gonna get longer from here on in! Val was invited and went to a lesson on line-dancing at another park near here with a few girls from this Park. I spent the better part of the morning and early afternoon making and baking “Tourtiere” with a recipe from Quebec. Val went shopping with some friends and came home with egg-nogg and rum so we had to have one! For dinner, we had cat fish and rice then watched the tube.
