Do I dare say it is SUNNY!? We were up early and went for breakfast at the hall with L&C. Val went for her walk and I took Tucker for his morning jaunt. We went to town and returned our movies, stopped at Hoover RV for some parts which they had to order then it was to the Post Office to mail a couple letters and home. We had a late lunch then met the Kirby’s for a game of outside shuffle board. It was fun and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. After the game, which they won, we went inside to listen to the music and had a beer. We came home, had dinner and watched the tube
Sunny with cloudy sky; lots of fog and dew this morning. Val did the laundry then we went grocery shopping. We came home and walked over to the Kirby’s for HH then came home. A quiet evening then to bed under cloudy sky but very warm evening.
We were up by 7 am. Val left at 7:30 am with Debbie and three others for Port Isabel, the starting point of the race/walk. I picked up Lynden and Charlene at 9 am and we drove to Padre Island. We stopped in Harlingen for breakfast at McDonald then continued on to Padre Island where everything was pretty well at a standstill. We basically crawled across the bridge (3 miles long) as the walkers/runners used the left lane and we used the right lane. We saw Val at the crest of the overpass for the Intra-Coastal channel and Debbie about a half mile later. The bridge was full of people and cars, it was quite a sight! It was warm too, 80*F and a strong wind cooling things down a bit. On the other side, we found a parking spot and walked back to the turn off for the runners and Val met us there. She was quite ecstatic and we told how proud we all were of her. We drove to where the runners ended their race and met up with Robbie, Cookie and his wife Rose-Marie. Robbie had a problem with her breathing and we had to call in the EMT on site to provide her with oxygen. Once she stabilized, we drove over to the “Shrimp-Hause Restaurant” down the road to meet with her husband and the rest of the crew. We had a not so good meal, a slow and not so good service. We left there and the four of us went exploring the Island from one end to the other. We drove back home, dropped off the Kirkby’s and came home. By the way, Tucker and Gracie were also along for the ride! We had dinner and Val went to bed early, tired and happy.
What a change overnight; we went from the AC on to the furnace on this morning and all day. North wind with a maximum of 60*F. Absolutely crazy!!!! And it’s supposed to be miserable like this until at least Thursday, what a bummer! Val had a haircut by Debbie then did the laundry. I walked to the Kirkby’s for a visit then came home and watched football. We had steak and lobster for dinner, bought at Costco. At 7 pm we went to the hall to listen to the Link’s family play music. They are from Missouri and were quite good. We enjoyed the hour and half.
Another cold and cloudy day, barely got to 58*F! Not much happen today, we basically stayed inside out of the cold after our morning routine. I got our mail today so sorted that out then we went to the Hall for Happy Hour. Came home, dinner and watched the tube. We were both in bed by 10 PM
More of the same for weather and a bit colder if that’s possible!!! GOOD GRIEF!!! Val took the truck and went shopping with Charlene. I worked on paperwork, archived some and dumped others. My neighbour Al went into town and got me propane @$18.75. Val returned from her shopping spree with Charlene around 5 pm, we had Happy Hours with them then dinner and watched the tube. To bed by 10 PM.
