Finally, the week is ending with a wonderful, bright sun which has brought warmth and cheerfulness to the RGV after all week being sooooo dismal!!! It was just simply nothing less than a gorgeous day.....mid-70's, soft breezes, no clouds at all, and the sun shining down upon us all day long!!!!
Up at 7am.....I slipped downstairs as quietly as I could, got the Fr. Roast coffee going, raised one blind to let in the warmth of the rising sun, and then read the online newspapers while sipping that hot, dark elixir from a very warm mug. After the 1st Lady came downstairs following her morning rituals, I completed mine.....and our day began. We had more coffee and hot tea outside on the patio in the bright sunshine, enjoying the morning as tons of people walked by, biked by, and stopped by to chat....everyone feeling sooooo damn good due to the wonderful weather we were experiencing!!!
We left a bit after 11AM for some shopping: JC Penny's, Lowe's, and then to a local Tux Rental store in Weslaco where I had the employees measure me for my tux for the wedding. The gave me the measurements and soon afterwards, I called them in to the shop in Mobile, Alabama, where all of the wedding party would be renting tuxes. We then stopped at a local cleaners where they have someone on staff that does alterations.....as the 1st Lady needs to have one dress altered for the wedding week.
Back to the resort we came.....and after putting things away, we decided to take a bike ride here in the resort. Later, we were joined by Doug and Diane for about 30 minutes.......so, we rode for well over an hour this afternoon. Such a wonderful day to be outside!!!!! We ran into several friends here in the resort and stopped to visit with all of them.......spending some time with friends from the Springfield, IL area whom we have known for a couple of years or more....and who are avid readers of this little blog. GREAT to see them and we just need to get together more often!!!!!
Leaving at 6pm......Doug drove us all over to Tropic Star where we spent the evening at the RGV Square Dance Jamboree......with tons of other sq. dancers and we had a super time dancing tonight!!!!! Soooo much fun......with such wonderful friends from Canada, Missouri, and many other states who are all here in the RGV for the winter. Tomorrow.....we dance at 10am....and then again at 7pm in the evening!!!
And sooooo, with the tux rented, we have a rental car reserved in Mobile for the week, we have a site in an rv park east of Mobile to store TheHowserHouse for the week, we have the hotel room reserved, and we are beginning to have everything come together for that week. WHEW!!!!!
Nasty weather is approaching again, so next week is not expected to be a mirror of today.....DAMN IT!!!! But, nevertheless.........
LIFE IS JUST REALLY INCREDIBLY GREAT!!!!!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!
