Changing Things

Finally the weather is changing. Monday and Tuesday have been much better days for us with sun and much warmer weather. Suppose to continue and we are certainly hoping for that. I know you people who are having the 9 and 10 degrees and SNOW don't like to hear this 70 and 80 degrees.

Last evening we attened a concert of the United States Air Force Band of the West. They are based at Lakeland Air Force Base and travel through Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Louisana. What a performance. Of course having been involved with band through out Ally's school years we have always loved bands and their music. Also there was a young woman who sang a couple of solos and she was wonderful. It was about a 2 hour program and it was great.

We are going over to South Padre Island this afternoon to meet some friends and have some seafood. We seem to always be able to find good food wherever we go. Thank goodness there is a Curves here that I can work off some of the food.

Haven't done any interesting pictures yet so will just write .

Hello to All

FINALLY the sun is shinning today. Actually we had some sunshine yesterday afternoon for a while so we got out and rode our bikes for a while. Now don't get too excited, you people who have SNOW, it is going to get cool again on Thursday so that will be a day for the movies or something inside.I was just reading in the Holland Sentinel about the Blizzard of 30 years ago and trust me I do remember THAT. For a gal from south georgia that was a BIG thing. I had never seen that much snow come down in such a short period of time. It was also a good experience of getting to know your neighbors better and everyone shared whatever we had as we couldn't get out of the subdivision for days to get groceries.
We will keep you posted on the warmer weather from Texas.

COLD WEATHER

Okay,so we left Virginia to come to Texas where it is SUPPOSE to be warm. It decided on Tuesday to get cold, windy and rain. Wednesday afternoon the sun came out for a short while and we did get a 3 mile bike ride in.Now I have had enough of this bad weather. I want SUN.
We did get out and go to a movie and if you have not seen "The Bucket List" go see it. There is a wonderful message to it and lots of laughs which we all need every now and then.
There was a craft show here at the Park this morning so Shirley and I checked that out and who knows what we will do the rest of this WINDY day

Hopefully by the time I update this again it will be WARMER.

Becoming a Winter Texan again




We are settling in to become Winter Texans again this year. Since we are in a new location this year we have naturally found the local Wal Mart, H.E.B. grocery store, Target and Sams Club. Harlingen is a little smaller than the McAllen area that we were in last year but it is going to be fine. Our friends, Dallas & Shirley, from Missouri are arriving today. I am getting ready to be teased, ragged on and whatever for the next two months as Dallas does like to blame me for things going wrong. He must be friends with Jim Matheny as he also blames me for things, like his windshield cracking while we were in Michigan and now it has happened again to the other side and I was no where near him and it is STILL my fault. GO FIGURE!!!!!!!!!!!

The weather has been good actually a little hotter than I like but at least we don't have a use a shovel. I thought for a couple of days the motorhome was going to fly as it was WINDY.

Wednesday night we had dinner with about 900 other people and then the entertainment was a band called "Senior Moments", no comment Todd. We enjoyed dancing and listening to the "good old music". The park has lots of different entertainment and the Air Force Band will be here on the 29th of January so we got tickets for that.

I am going to try and attach a few pictures of the grandchildren from Christmas. Noah is handsome in his pj's and the "do rag" he got from Uncle Bryant.
