When I woke up this morning.....well, I wasn't sure it was time to raise the aging hulk from the bed.......it was sooooooo...well, unlighted. Dark is not the word......it was just dismal, gray, and in the low 50's. But......the day slowly lightened up.....and even though the sun never paid the Valley a visit.......it wasn't a total loss!
The 1st Lady was off to an hour and a half of line dancing......while I enjoyed a second/third cup of my Fr. Roast coffee while listening to my XM radio.....and a bit of Latino music to assist in making the day brighter.
I began stowing items away in the basement.....and getting it in movable shape......knowing full well that the roads are not in the best of shape between here and San Antonio. After the 1st Lady returned, we had a quick bite of lunch and then we were off to the Club center for our square dance lessons.......a full two hours and once again.....it was just great!! Soooo much fun and soooo many laughs when we screwed up and made a wrong turn/move. Sure will miss these dances!!!
Afterwards we were off to the flea and fruit/veggie markets. We were there about an hour...purchased a couple of items plus some food: a papaya, some of those wonderfully sweet little bananas, and a couple of other items. Then.....it was time to fill up the truck with diesel.....and then it was back to the RV Park ....to pick grapefruits.
It was soooooooo damn muddy that I could hardly lift my feet by the time we had a large load of grapefruit with us as we travel down/up the road. Upon returning to TheHowserHouse, I continued to prepare TheHowserHouse for the road....checking all eight tires(including the truck) for the proper pressure, tightening lugs, plus cleaning my tennis shoes from all of the pounds of mud on them.
Then the 1st Lady was off to one of the two laundrymats here in the park. Darkness descended....didn't take much because of the clouds before it WAS dark. She returned and fixed a light supper and began to stow some of the items inside.
This evening was a tellie night.......no dark red medicine......just a cup of tea and some of those incredible Mexicano cookies which we purchased Monday while we were in Progreso. And now......it is time to make some lists for tomorrow to make certain everything is done and ready to go by 10AM.
And soooooo, after almost four weeks here in the RGV......it is time to depart. We have really enjoyed it here.....and look forward to returning for a longer stay. HOWEVER......going on out to Arizona is exciting......and I am anxious to get there.....and to see our friends, Mac and Gail. If you two are reading this......we will be there before the 10th. Probably by next Tuesday.....I'll call you when I know more.
As always............
Life is GREAT.....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!
