That was the week that was (continued)

Here are a few photos of the skits after our Valentines Day Trailer Trash supper.




Wednesday we drove to Don-Wes Market (flea market) and ate at What-a-Burger on the way home.
Thursday we attended two sessions at the Rec Hall -- one by employee of the Sugar Mill and a lot of information on the growing and harvesting of the sugar cane and then their process of extracting the granule sugar and the syrup.  The dry matter that is first extracted is used to fire their steam process that powers huge electric generators that not only power the plant, but also the down of Santa Rosa full time and he said that due to the power lines through much of South Texas last year during our ice storm, the sugar mill provided power to much of the Rio Grande Valley for a day or so.  They were happy to sell this power.
Today (Friday) after exercises, a meeting with two other couples on the up-coming Mid-West Kenwood Reunion this summer, we drove to Mercedes and spent the afternoon at the Rio Grande Valley Music Festival   http://www.rgvmf.com/ 


Heard some real good music, of several venues.  Stopped to eat at a barbeque place close to La Feria.  Rained off and on during the day, but has been warm.
Plan to take it easy around the RV Park tomorrow and go over to Oliver & Mary Jo's in the evening to go out for Ice Cream & sandwiches and then maybe playing some cards.
Click on any of the photos to enlarge, and see as a slide show.  (You can also click on any of the blogs that I follow -- to the right -- and read any of them)
Will write later, Lynn
