2011 almost over

La Feria, TX 74º getting dark, but bright sunshine and 84º during the day.
   We went to WallyWorld this afternoon and I recalled why I don't like shopping (except on-line).  Lots of families with kids and some of the kids weren't crying or raising cane.

We had not used the twin beds in our second bedroom until Michelle and then Cam & Patty used them this last week.  Reports are the beds are really hard and we noticed there was no room for clothes, etc. in that room other than in their suitcases.  We bought some foam for the two beds and also a small set of 3 plastic drawers to help that situation.

The last day of a year used to panic us, as when we were at the Grain Elevator we had to take full inventory and get the pre-payments of some farmers who wanted business in the old year and others doing price-later contracts to set price on grain, but move income to the next year.  Don't miss that whole thing at all.

Seems the sun has been shining ever since our kids left the Valley.  Here is picture of people outside when I helped Phyllis' Share & Care group move their sewing materials from the Rec Hall back to their storage shed:

Phyllis had worked most of that day tying on quilts.

Their group gives away all the quilts and small hats they make to charitable groups locally.

  While Phyllis was at the hall I took most of our black shoes and cleaned and shined them up, outside in the sunshine.

We have been invited to play Pegs & Jokers with neighbors on New Years Eve, but may go up to Rec Hall for just a bit to see the entertainment that will be provided there.
Hope all have a good 2012.
Till later, Lynn
