Ahhhh, fresh French Roast coffee on the patio outside TheHowserHouse in the bright sun with warm winds from the south raising the temps quickly this morning. A couple of grapefruit fell from the tree next to TheHowserHouse as the winds became a bit more intense..........upon examining them, they were a bit on the soft side so I just tossed them aside.
After eating a couple of these very red and juicy AND almost sweet fruit from the trees, the 1st Lady and I got ready to go over to the RGV RV SHOW which is being held in the Mercedes Livestock Center Buildings. Upon finding the place it was bustling and full of senior Winter Texans who were all looking and comparing these new and sparkling rvs to the ones they are currently spending the winter in. AND.....we did the same thing. Actually, I didn't really see anything that was tooooo much better than ours......there were some MotorHomes that were had price tags of $330,000 plus and had a lot more fancy detailing and more "toys", but since they are out of our price range......it was just fun to look.
It took until the middle of the afternoon to wander thru many of these beautiful units.......and then we returned to our Winter home in Llano Grande Lake Park Resort. We lounged around for a while.....the 1st Lady went over the Exercise Building and worked out for a while.....and then we got ready for another event here in the Park..........Casino Night.
A chili supper was held at the Club followed by about 3 hours of Casino Night......all casino games which was great fun. At the end of the evening you could take the amount of chips accumulated and bid on items that had been donated.
You know.........this place has sooooooooo many activities for the "residents" that it is impossible to get to all of them. NO ONE can be bored around here.....unless they just personally choose to be so!!!!! Now.....stop and realize that there are over 700 rv parks of all sizes and they are filled with Winter Texans.....and EACH of the hundreds of parks all have various events and activities.....many of which can be enjoyed by the residents of the other parks.
We have been here one week and have yet had time to play tennis, to enjoy the offerings of the Library, take advantage of various instructional classes such as Beginning/Intermediate Spanish, Genealogy Club, various lunches and dinners and buffets, many different types of dances......and on and on and on and on!!! It is all-consuming!!!
We have not yet been the three miles to the border, so tomorrow we plan to go over to Mexico for the day....and dinner. They have some great restaurants on the other side of the border.......as well as anything you can want in the way of dentists, pharmacies with mucho lower prices on scripts......everything. The town of Nuevo Progresso is well known for the friendly people and their welcome mat to the Winter Texans is always out!!!
And so........I keep wondering when I can relax down here!!!!! We already have a calendar that is getting full with events that we want to attend or participate in........whew.....will have to return to the stick and brick to get some rest!!!!!
Update on my mother: she is scheduled to be released from the hospital tomorrow. Let's hope this all occurs!
Without any qualifications........
Life IS Great......and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
