We went over to Ed’s site after the party last night and had a night cap with the crew. We went to bed, finally, around 1:30 am under a cloudy sky and very warm night. We woke up this morning with a cold wind from the north and RAIN!!! J They had been forecasting this for the past three days and we finally got it! We watched the Rose Bowl Parade then Val went to the club house while I watched football, both the Capital Bowl in Florida and the Rose Bowl in California later.
Cloudy, cold and raining! We were up at 7 am, showered, walked Tucker and left at 8:15 with friends Marc and Joanne for Edinburgh. We went to “WATABURGER”(like a McDonald) for a meeting of Geo-Cachers. There were about 20-25 of us and the organizer has us exchange little things and distributed travel-bug to whoever wanted one and cache it. Of course, we did get a couple. It was fun and we met new people. The idea to this is to put a face on the names we always find on logs when we find a cache. We had free coffee for the two hours we were there. The organizer to this event was a lady who came from Austin but used to live here. After the meeting, we went to find caches but gave up after two as it was just too wet and cold (48*F; 9*C). We came home and the two of us walked to the club house as Val wanted to watch/learn a new Chinese board game; I left a few minutes into it...not my type of game!
Another cold and wet night but it has stopped raining now, just cloudy and 46*F, 8*C at 10 am. Val didn’t go for her walk as no one was willing to brave this cold morning and I took Tucker our jaunt; everything is wet and muddy! We drove to Weslaco to return a movie and picked up a few more, then it was Walmart for some groceries. We drove to Costco where we bought a new Samsung Blue Ray Player as our old one is acting up. We looked around for the new KOBO-GLO but no luck, I think I am going to buy it on line. We came home and put the groceries away and replace the old Sony Blue-Ray player for the new one. We had dinner then watched a new movie. It never got above 49*F today due to a north wind. We ran out of propane in the evening and I had to borrow a tank from a neighbour; I don’t understand how this happened but I’ll have to keep a closer watch, especially in cold temperature!
Weather wise; same as yesterday! The propane truck came around 11 am and I filled both our tanks and the one I borrowed from our neighbour, all for $52. We bought some vegetables from the guy that comes around our park twice a week and went to town to return a movie. Upon our return Val decided to go to the club house to do some puzzles. Everyone I meet is complaining about the weather but not much we can do about it. Later, Val went to the club house and I was sitting at home reading when there was a knock at our door and...Hold and behold...our friends from home, the Kirkby’s had arrived. We went over to the hall where Charlene surprised Val and we stayed for the Happy Hour. Afterwards, we drove to the Palm Hotel and RV Park, had dinner there, all you can eat fish and chips and salads and a few other things. The place was packed and we had a marvellous full dinner then came home for a nightcap. We said goodnight and made plans to meet again tomorrow.
