February 1 to 4, 2013; Super Bowl in weslaco

2013 FEBRUARY  1, Friday; Weslaco Texas
I forgot to mention in yesterday’s blog that I finally got my $20  deposit from the guy I had bought prescription glasses from in Nuevo Progresso, it made my day!  Sunny and no wind to speak of!  Morning routine and then we said our goodbye to the Kirkby’s as they are headed for San Antonio and Austin.  This is also our last month here before we head out to Big Bend National Park and slowly make our way home.  Spent the day doing chores and phone calls to set up carpet cleaning and shade repair; all next week.  Actually, it ended up that the shade was taken down today as they couldn’t do it next week.  We had Happy Hour with Louise and Dave and called it quit early as it was getting cold.  We had fish for dinner and turned in early

 
FEB  2, Saturday, repair window blinds
65*F at 8 AM and cloudy but no wind.  There is a flea market happening in the park this morning.  The shade people were over this morning to put the shade back after fixing it ($50) then we went to the hall for lunch...hot chicken sandwich but nothing like Quebec!  We picked up our bed comforter which we had dropped off to get it clean ($11), stopped at Walmart to pick up a few things for tomorrow and more wine then we relaxed at home until 4 PM.  We went over to Al and Debbie for Happy Hour; present were Laurent and Ghislaine, Vickie and Jim, Paul and Ruth, Cookie and ROSEMARIE (NOTE Rosemarie!!!! HIHIHIIHI), Dave and Louise and us of course.  We had a good time then came home for dinner and a quiet evening at home

 
FEB  3, Sunday, SUPERBOWL XLVII
Warm, cloudy with sunny breaks!  This was a lazy day, we didn’t much except read, late shower and lazy walk with Tucker!  At 3 PM, we prepared the food for the Super Bowl Party then at 4 PM we went over to the club house and joined our group.  We set up the tables for the food and there was enough to feed a small army!  The game started at 5:30: Baltimore RAVEN VS San Francisco 49er and what a game, suspense until the end and the underdog, RAVEN held to a lead of three points to win the Super Bowl.  We had a good time and full bellies.  The Park gave two keg of beer free to quench our thirst for everyone attending.  We went home at 9 PM after cleaning up and were in bed by 10:30 PM.  A good day indeed.

 
FEB  4, Monday,
Val didn’t go for exercises but did go for Line Dancing.  It is sunny and very warm, upper 80’s but very comfortable.  After lunch we went to Hildago with Dave and Louise to pick up our tickets for next Sunday then to Mission to exchange a part for Dave.  We stopped for lunch at Dairy Queen, Dave had to have a chili hot dog and ice cream.  We came home via HOOVER where I picked up a couple items then Happy Hour at our place.  It was a warm but comfortable evening and lots of stars to look at.
