WOW…..a beautiful day……no clouds(this morning)…..and as the sun rose higher in the south-eastern sky, the temperature rose right up with it. It was brilliant outside….and the crisp temps mad everyone feel great again. By later this afternoon, the clouds were blowing in from the south-east…..and as the sun disappeared, I was certain it would become cooler….but, at 8:15 tonight, it is 60 degrees!! GREAT!!!!
We have new neighbors to the left of us….and as they were outside soaking up the Vitamin D from the sun, I wandered over and found myself spending the next hour with them. Being from Iowa and this being their first time to the RGV, we had much to talk about…..and lots of laughs, also!
The 1st Lady and I decided then to take a bike ride around this new area of the resort……and as we did, we again found ourselves discussing rving with another couple who were walking the same streets that we were riding on. They are full-timing and are excited about this new lifestyle…..and, I believe they are certainly much younger than we are. Our bike ride was for at least two, maybe three, miles….and it felt good to do so in this stunning weather.
This afternoon we decided to go over to the Don-Wes Market….the fruit and veggie market where we have always purchased our great fresh items! We wandered around, looked at some of the other items that were in stalls there and then looked more seriously at the fresh fruits and veggies, purchasing some fresh limes, tomatoes, and zucchini. Everything is soooooo inexpensive there……..and to think that it is the REAL stuff…..not what we get in Misery after it has been picked GREEN and then shipped to us.
Returning, we ran into our friends Danny and Donna just as they were preparing for an exercising walk of a couple of miles or so. We told them to stop by on their return to their home-on-wheels for some happy hour drinks…..and the agreed, of course!
Returning home, we did a few chores, putting away the fresh goodies…..and planning the evening which includes watching “The Amazing Race”, the FINAL episode of this years’ race.
Danny and Donna soon arrived….and from that point on, with wine glasses in hand, the conversation flowed at the rate of a fast-moving river……..with laughter bouncing off of the walls which only brought about more laughs! We have such a GREAT time whenever we are with them……….we just seem to “click”….much like the couple we met on the tour and cruise up the Nile River in Egypt that we were on this past November(check the Archives Nov, 2007, for many, many pictures).
After a couple of large doses of dark red medicine for both Danny and myself……we both felt better when they decided it was time for them to leave!!!! We are going to ride with them over to one of the other RV Parks to square dance tomorrow afternoon….and then who knows where after that.
“The Amazing Race”!!!!! WOW…….the couple that we had decided many weeks ago that we would like to see win this game…….well, they WON!!!! Seeing the scenes in Alaska stimulated our appetite for a return trip to that fabulous state……..it has been probably 25 years since we drove up there…..so, it is time to go again!!!
Today????? A GREAT day!!!! Great weather!!!! Great friends!!!!! Great shopping!!! ……And, so…….what more can be said but…….
LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!….And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
