Day 34: A Great Day that Can't be beat!!!!

OMG.......the first look out the window this morning and I just knew that this day was going to be a wonderful one!! Bright sun rising in the east.....and the bright-bright blue sky everywhere....WOW! And....I wasn't wrong about this prediction, either!!

While the 1st Lady slept for another hour, I had my first cup(s) of freshly ground French Roast coffee, checked my emails, and then read the online newspapers that read each day. Waking the 1st Lady, we went through our morning rituals, we each ate a large Ruby Red Grapefruit(ohhhh, sooo goooood), and then decided to go for a morning bike ride around the resort. A GREAT morning to do just this......not a power ride that is measured and timed, but just a little tour of the neighborhood to see the many rv's that now have the resort rv sites filled.

We ran into some sq. dancing and casino friends from Alberta, Canada who were also riding bikes this morning.....and they suggested that we ride by the Crafts Show in the Rec Hall and check it out. Well.......what a great show!!!!! Soooooo many wonderful crafts filled the hall......as well as the many, many lookers and buyers!!!! It was just so refreshing to see such wonderful talent(s) that were laid out in the hall this morning!!!

Returning to TheHowserHouse, we had a quick little bite of lunch....and then left for the fresh fruit and veggie market....and our square dancing class. At the market: WOW......soooooo many mounds of fresh fruit....just beautiful!!! And the fresh veggies from the gardens were soooo enticing and mouth-watering as we stumbled over the hundreds of Winter Texans who were doing the same thing we were doing......looking for great buys here. The 1st Lady and I purchase 5 Poblano Peppers($1.00) for my niece in Missouri(must be mailed), 10 beautiful pineapple-oranges that are extra sweet, and several other little items that we wanted to eat at a later time.

Then it was off to our sq. dancing class at Casa del Sol RV Park........and we were part of the nine squares.....72 dancers......at the class today. We danced with our new friends from all over the RGV that we have met at these dance classes......WinterTexans that are from all over the USA and Canada!! After two hours of fun and learning, we left for Llano Grande and TheHowserHouse, but first we made a quick stop at the supermarket for some ground beef for a Mexicano casserole that the 1st Lady was to cook this evening.

Returning, we quickly headed a couple of streets north of here to the new swimming pool and hotpool.......!!! They are soooo beautiful and so well planned and designed. We once again met others there and enjoyed such stimulating conversations about so many topics and places here in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. A great hour or more.

Back at TheHowserHouse, I pour myself a dose of my dark red medicine......yummmmm. I was needing a dose or two of this healthful medication!!! I wandered over to the RV next to us and sat awhile with the residents of this Montana 5er.......Ted and Sandy. What a lot we have in common!!!! We all like to travel, not only here in the US, but around the world.......and so, when the 1st Lady joined us, we talked in detail about our recent trip to Egypt and Jordan.....and listened to their recent trips to China for 23 days...and their trip through the Panama Canal on a cruise out of Acapulco. They are interested in traveling to Egypt in the near future so I talked to them, answered questions, and encouraged them to make that trip!!

After a great dinner by Chef 1st Lady......we retired to the den and are currently enjoying the Eukanuba National Dog Show.......an annual event we both really enjoy. It has been a busy day....hahaha, aren't they all?? When we return by the 1st of April.......we won't know what to do with ourselves.......our social life will just disappear.....hahahaa!!!! And soooo, you know it, don't you???? Yep.......that's right........ a day such as this....a Great Day that Can't be beat.........only ensures that......

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