Yep......I was up before 7:30.....and by 9AM, the 1st Lady and I had completed the mandatory morning rituals, had tea and Fr. Roast coffee with breakfast, and were on our way to the 10AM square dance over in Pharr. There were 88 couples there this morning.....and it was soooo much fun!!! PLUS......the mental and physical exercise is just really, really good for everyone: You have no time to think, it is just react to the verbal call, and make the necessary complicated and very complex moves within the square, some of which are done as an individual and not as a couple. You cannot let your mind wander....you cannot talk.....it is 100% total concentration!!! The physical part: almost invariably we dance/move our feet across the floor for right at 3 miles each time we are at a dance!! Yep....great exercise in all ways!!!!
This afternoon after we returned, and after lunch......the 1st Lady did some laundry. Me???? I decided to clean out the basement storage areas, and to put all of the various needed items back into their proper locations as we prepare this week for our journey back to Missouri(Misery?).....we will make that call when we see the weather once we return. NO....I am still not ready to leave this great RGV.....but, before long the very hot weather will arrive here and I certainly do not want to be here when that occurs!!! Sooooo, back up the highway for a bit over 11oo miles, after a few days in San Antonio next week.
This evening I grilled a couple of chicken breasts, along with some of those wonderful sweet Texas 1015 onions and some delicious red peppers(which I bought for $.50 each!!!) The 1st Lady grilled in a pan on the stove some asparagus drizzled with olive oil, and cooked some corn with some chopped red peppers in it. A GREAT dinner.......accompaned by Smoking Loon Cabernet Sauvignon!!!!
Tonight we square danced for another two hours......and it was another evening of sooooo much fun!!!!! Soooo, about 6 miles today of physical exercise........and tons of mental stimulation as we go through the 100 or so calls for the dancing!
Tomorrow???? We are off to a tiny little cafe called "Willie's".....a mom and pop BBQ place that serves monstrous quantities of food. Then from there we will go back over to Mexico for a few hours to do some more shopping: meds, liquor, clothing, etc., etc. We will be taking Doug and Diane, Ron and Linda, and Doug and Janet along with us.........a super bunch of friends which will make certain that we are all in hilarious stitches all afternoon!
And sooooo, I was very busy.......and with such great fun, great food, and a beautiful day, I am without a doubt certain that.......
LIFE IS JUST ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
