In less than four weeks, we will be in the Rio Grande Valley.....and OMG, but I am sure ready to be there!! Not that it is swimming weather there, but the temps are soooo much more moderate and comfortable than it is here in Misery right now.
Yesterday......well, we had a great visit with Mike, along with dinner which we prepared, and came back here to the stick and brick around 9:30pm, having left before noon yesterday. Soooo, after broiling some Black Angus Ribeyes with fresh mushrooms, all of which had been marinated in a mixture of A-1 and Worchestershire sauce, along with fresh(?) fruit salad and a mixed green salad, some cinnimon muffins, freshly baked brownies, bread sticks from Fazoli's(the only really great thing about that place), we ate well during the afternoon with him!!!
By the time we returned last night, my mind was not at it's creative best....(is it ever, anymore?)....and so I watched a bit of the tellie attempting to stay on the HD channels so my eyes would not have to be overworked attempting to see through the blurriness of the non-HD channels.....coming from the issue-laden Directv system we are still battlling right now. Monday, more wonderful, highly trained and experienced Directv "Tech Specialists" are to arrive to "fix" our problem......and, you surely know that I am being very, very sarcastic!!!!!!!!! It has been over two weeks now......and nothing has been done....will it ever????
Today....well, another COLD, WINDY, GREY day here in southeast Misery....and only once did I even venture outside. OK....I know that for all of you northerners, this bad-mouthing the weather here by this sagging hulk of Me, is just a joke since you have such horrid winter weather up there. But....for the past two years, our temps have not been this low in Nov/December and so I have not had to "feel" this cold like we are experiencing this year.
I cleaned up the floors in the house, since we have finished with the decorating and there were fake pine needles everywhere, falling from our fake Christmas tree in the living room. And then......I spent a great deal of time working with organizing my pictures that I have taken this year.....and OMG, what a task!!! And, it is not finished yet........woe be unto Me for even beginning this task!!!!
Tomorrow.....(perhaps)....we are going to the city to shop and perhaps, just perhaps....catch a movie. WOW, it has been since last January down in the RGV since we have gone to see a movie in a theater that is decent!! Time to get some good popcorn so I can add a few more buttery pounds onto my sagging hulk before the Holidays and all of that incredibly GREAT and DELICIOUS and ENJOYABLE food in the Rio Grande Valley, as well as across the border into that fun country to our south!!! I am 6-7 pounds heavier RIGHT NOW before the Holidays than I was when we went down to the Valley last year........pretty soon my truck will be over the weight limits on the highways!!!!!
I might take a minute to make certain that any rver's who will be in the RGV in January take advantage of a great afternoon on the 26th of the month: the annual "gathering" of the RV.Net readers there in the RGV. WOW....it is always a blast....and this year, we have changed venues and it will be held on that Monday afternoon/evening at the Horseman's Saloon.....and that should be a sure place to "gather"!!!! Check out the thread on the RV.Net website, the Forum section, the Snowbirds category, and look for the thread that discusses the RV.Net "Gathering" there in the Rio Grande Valley.
And sooooo, another day of my ever-shortening Life has disappeared swiftly! My sagging Hulk has felt the tug of gravity just a bit more from the lack of outside exercise, and my mind continues to be not here in Misery, but in the RGV which I just know is waiting for TheHowserHouse to arrive at Llano Grande RV Resort!!!! With many friends returning there, with old friends who will be staying there for the first time, with new friends to be made, and lots to discuss and laugh about at the often held Happy Hours........the 1st Lady and I can barely wait until the day comes for us to drive the 1100+ miles down there for the winter.
And soooooo, even with the cold and greyness of the days.........there is no doubt but that.....
LIFE IS INCREDIBLY GREAT!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
