 On Thursday we took Darlene Winslow and Denny Arment with us and went to Mexico.  We had appointments for teeth cleaning and Darlene saw same Dentist for work on her dentures.  Denny wanted to start collecting Vanilla for friends up north.
   When we got there, there was a parade going on.  Thought they were welcoming us, but was told it was celebration of Revolution Days.  I asked our pharmacist (was also a med run--found out wasn't supposed to say drug run) when the Revolution was and he didn't know.  Googled

 it later and found out they are referring to 1910 to 1920 era.

This morning it was really foggy when we started the 7.5 mile ride through suburban area of La Feria.  Sun was out and 82 degrees by time we returned home.  Bill and Darlene rode with us as we drove back to Don-Wes this afternoon to exchange card shuffler Phyllis had bought yesterday that didn't work.  Nice and sunshiny this afternoon - I dumped one inch of rain from gauge -- it rained all night again.

More later from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.
