Morning: It was cloudy and not as cool as the past three days.....and as the morning progressed, it did warm up until by this afternoon it was in the mid-60's!!! GREAT!!!!! Tomorrow is to be even better and as the week progresses, into the 80's......WONDERFUL!!!
Where did this morning go to???? We had our usual wonderful French Roast coffee....and her tea......and with our Ruby Red Grapefruit....the morning meal was delicious!! About mid-morning, the 1st Lady and I took a 30 minute bicycle ride around the Resort....and it felt good to get that morning ride today!!!
We left at 12 noon, taking Danny and Donna with us, for Casa del Sol RV Park.....in Donna about 15 minutes west of here. There we joined 68 others who were there for two hours square dancing lessons.......a very fun group of Winter Texans who are only a fraction of a percentage point of the number of Winter Texans who are in the RGV now.......over a quarter of a million, in fact!! THAT is difficult to believe, but it happens every year........all of these RV'ers flock to this 50 miles stretch from all over the USA and Canada(almost all Provinces are represented)!!!!
We had a great time with the dancing this afternoon!!!!! Sooooooo damn much fun....I certainly wish we could continue back in Misery......perhaps we can search out a group in our area that square dances!! Our mistakes always bring on great laughter......and no one becomes upset when the mistakes are made.
With two hours of dancing finished, we four decided to go to 320 S. Alamo Rd to have a late lunch at "Willie's Bar-B-Q".....a highly recommended place and one that is ver popular here in the Valley. Arriving there, a place to park was difficult to locate......cars parked everywhere!! The place is very run down....and, in fact, had we not known the reputation of this cafe....we might have driven on by it. But.........going on inside, we realized that we had to stand in line to go through the line to order and then pick up our food.
WELL.......OMG!!!!! The size and quantity of the food served with each order was preposterous!!!! The 1st Lady and I ordered one of their gigantic "Stuffed Baked Potatoes" and a pulled pork sandwich........to share each dish between the two of us. THAT was a great idea because the size of these two items was.....just unbelieveable!! I have never ever seen such a HUGE potato in my entire life........NEVER! And it was filled with cheese, butter, sour cream, chives, bacon, and then topped with chopped BBQ'ed beef(not hamburger) and covered a wonderful BBQ sauce! Then the pulled pork sandwich was a big as a dinner plate and was amazing in taste, tenderness, and smoky flavored!!! WOW....WOW!!!
It took us a while to eat all of this food....and the price was right...$14.06 which included two LARGE drinks. Will we go back??? Do I recommend it to all of you?????? HELL YES!!!!! For those of you readers here in the RGV who have not eaten at Willie's........GO QUICKLY!!!!! You do want to allow time so that you can return and give it another try......the menu is comprehensive.....and requires several visits.
I have forgotten to write about my granddaughter, Rachel. Night before last, she called us at TheHowserHouse to tell us that she had just won the Spelling Bee for her class, the 4th grade in the Elementary School she attends in Cape Girardeau, MO. WOW.....that is soooooo GREAT!!! I, and the 1st Lady, are both sooooo excited for her......and soooooo PROUD of her!!! She is a wonderful young lady with strong academic skills that are advanced for her age level......and that sure makes us proud of her!! CONGRATULATIONS RACHEL!!!!!!
Tonight, the 1st Lady and I joined three other couples at one of the tables at the Saturday evening Dance at the Club House here at Llano Grande. From Kansas, from New England, and from Ottawa, Ontario Canada........and the 8 of us are all square dancers and this evening we had just a wonderful time dancing(basically C&W music), having a few drinks and munchies, and some wonderful stimulating conversation. The band??? Not the best or most musical in the Valley, but they did provide three hours of live music(?) to dance to.
Sooooo, it has a been a very busy day, but a MUCHO FUN DAY!!!!! Great friends, GREAT fun!!! This place is unlike any other place for retired senior citizens........it is just very difficult to describe to everyone......soooo much to do, sooooo many places to spend the winter using your/our RV's, sooooooooo warmly welcomed by all of the local citizens and communities both north and south of the border!!!
LIFE IS SOOOOOOO GREAT!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
