Dry, windy and cloudy

La Feria, TX 81º overcast.  Has been overcast for about a week now.

We were shopping at Costco in Pharr, TX last week and a guy was handing out shopping bags with advertising on them.  Really nice............except, it split out carrying out first load out to the car.  Guess it was worth what we paid for it, or a little less.

Many of you who have spent time in the valley have shopped at H.E.B in Harlingen.  I have posted several photos of their huge tent-like front with the enormous flock of birds on it.  Photo at left is that same store-----without the white tent top.  Picture below is to the right of it.  A major remodeling

job is underway and it is loosing that unique look.  Imagine it will be finished by the time we come back in the fall.

With the remodeling job done at the office here at Kenwood they wanted a couple 5" x 7" photos to show some activities in the park.  I added the titles to these two and made them into the right size and they are now in the office in picture frames.

We stopped last Thursday on Jackson Street in Harlingen at  The Railroad Crossing

Discovered they were having a “Jammin’ on Jackson Street with Vance Greek & Friends,”at that Model Railroad clubhouse.  The trains weren't set up, but the music was fine.  Found they perform twice a month from October thru March and we will plan to attend some full 3-hour sessions when we can.
This Winter Texan Times site tells about it.

Though I don't do birthdays, Phyllis was happy to have 5 other couples join us at a Chinese buffet in Weslaco last Thursday evening to celebrate her birthday.

All enjoyed the visit and it was the last get-together with Doris and Lyle Winter.  They have moved their trailer to a San Juan park and are heading home to Minnesota this weekend.

 Bob & Bobbi are leaving next week as are Bill & Twila.

Though Marti is pictured, Carl was off filling his plate when this photo was taken.  They have bought a 5th wheel to leave here at Kenwood permanently.  They will drive their Motor-home home to near St. Louis and drive down this fall in a car.








Phyllis is off to the nail place and I am working on some minor repair work in the trailer getting ready to leave in a week or so.  Donna - who lives here full time across the street and a little to the west of us, received a call Wednesday that her son passed away.  This is the last of her three children who have all passed.  She is having a bit of a rough time.

It remains dry here - we have had only dew or fog for moisture since the first of January.  The drought in the Rio Grande Valley is really a problem.  Several towns are rationing drinking water and most of the canal irrigation water from the Rio Grande River will be shut off around the first of May by latest reports.  Of course the wind blows constantly -- current report shows 13 mph out of the southwest.

Till next time, Lynn
