Day 22: WHAT happened to the predicted clouds/showers? BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!

I was up at 7 again this morning.......and there were clouds covering the sky.....and I was certain that it wouls be a gloomy day. WOW......what a surprise.....as later while taking a shower, I noticed through the skylight above the shower that it was becoming brighter. And, up going outside a bit later.......the sun was shining brightly...and soon the clouds were completely gone. YEAH!!!!

The morning.......well, I rode my bike for four miles here in the new section of the Llano Grande......and then, the 1st Lady decided we needed to walk for 30 minutes. Soooo, off we went through the same section of the Park that I had ridden earlier.

Returning to TheHowserHouse we stopped first at the Cedar Creek across our street, Mazzeron, and visited with Ken and Jeanne. They were the couple that last week we ate with at Gonzales Hamburgers....and had such a good time. We had not had time to visit with them since, but this morning we did sit and visit under their awning for a little time.

Soon, Danny and Donna picked us up and we went west to Alamo Rec-Veh Park for a square dancing class. After the two hour class with 40 people participating, we decided we needed a late lunch. So, we went a few miles further to over by the McAllen area where we decided to go to Olive Garden, which does have a late lunch menu here that lasts until 4pm.

Hmmmm........everyone was on the same page, as we all four placed our orders for the same items........Soup and Salad. WOW.......the service was really great with a lovely Mexicano Senorita doing the honors!!! The meal was quite good, the breadsticks were hot and buttery, and the soup......YUM!!!!! I don't even know the exact name of the soup I had, but it had potato slices and bites of sausage in it, with a spicy broth and some green herbs floating in it. A beautiful soup.........and quite, quite delicious!!!! It was a very good choice.......!

We returned to Llano Grande and then the 1st Lady and I just kicked back, had a later afternoon glass of wine and let the warm sun sink into the palm trees and grapefruit groves on the horizon. Tonight.......OMG....an almost full moon, beautiful stars looking down on us, and a warm night, albeit the breeze began to cool down the Park as the evening disappeared into the moonlit night. It is sooooooooooo quiet here........we are over a mile from the nearest expressway or major street.....and with this lovely evening, it is so wonderful! Oh yeah.........

LIFE IS SOOOOOOO GREAT!!!!!.......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
