We'll have family for Christmas!

Dateline La Feria, TX  --  Cool night with temps in 60's this morning on awakening.  (Is 73 degrees now with prediction of 90 degrees as high with 10-15 mph winds from northwest so won't be bad).   Phyllis went to pool exercises at the swimming pool at 6:45 am and I managed to wake up in time to go to stretching exercises at the Rec Hall at 8:00 am.  We had ridden the bikes several miles last night just at dark, both through our park and another to the north and then through several streets on to the north.

Had heard earlier that our son Cameron & his wife Patty are flying in to San Antonio just before Christmas when we will meet them, do the Riverwalk and site see the Alamo and other places there and on the way to our place back in the Valley.  Later heard from my brother Don and his wife Vicki that they would be driving in to La Feria at the same time and would be staying at a Motel just across the street from us.  Last night got a call from Daughter Michelle in Columbus, OH and she is making plans on driving down for about the same time.  She will actually be bringing some friends as far as Houston and then spending almost a week with us, probably able to go with us to the San Antonio site seeing trip--and picking up Cam's.  The last couple winters we have spent here at Kenwood we have told the kids "you know where we will be if you want to spend Christmas with us" and now that we have a full home, not just the small travel trailer, they are taking us up on the offer.  Hope we can give all a little flavor of the Valley in winter during their short visits.

When in Mexico yesterday morning to get stitches checked on my molar removal-implants we walked a few blocks into the Progresso shopping area.  As usual, was approached about a shoe shine and since I was wearing my really old beat-up shoes gave him a shot.  Look at the left shoe verses the right shoe in photo above.  Now I have "new looking" shoes.

On our trike ride just about dusk.  The palm trees seen over Phyllis are in our RV Resort, our home just about above the SMV sign.
Till later, Lynn
