Day 4-Monday, Jan 4th: WOW...this was a busy day in the RGV!!!

A great night's sleep.....could it have been that dark red medicine that I drank over at Doug and Diane's last night??? Hmmmm.......doesn't really make a difference.......it was just nice to know that I didn't have to drive down the road today.

I did some chores around TheHowserHouse......and then after our coffee and tea, we walked over to the Activities Center where we signed up to use the gym, received our key cards, and then looked over the bulletin boards. We saw a tour to Guadalajara, Mexico that is for 5 days and four nights for a really great price! Giving it some consideration...

We then had a light lunch.....and very quickly afterwards, we were off to Tip of Texas RV Park for some review lessons on the second level of square dancing...."Plus" lessons. The next two hours were soooo much fun.......we were with some old friends from here whom we had danced with before.....and we were laughing most of the time caused by the mistakes we made in following the calls!!! GREAT FUN!!!

Afterwards at 3pm........we went to Sam's Club to do some shopping. Then next door to Walmart to pick up some small items, not what Sam's Club has in stock! Then.....back to Llano Grande where we are spending the winter.....and a great dinner here in TheHowserHouse.

It appears that by the end of the week it will be below freezing here....WOW!!!! THAT will be a first for the two of us since we have been coming down here in 2007. And....it appears this cold wave will last from Thursday evening until Saturday...whew!!!! Will have layer some clothes as I didn't bring that kind of COLD clothing with me.......

After driving over to McAllen area this afternoon, I realized that it doesn't appear that there is very much, if anything, new since last year. That's ok........this is a very busy, busy area...and there is certainly plenty to do and plenty of places to shop......EXCEPT the food markets/grocery stores. There is only Walmart and many H.E.B. supermarkets. NO choice, really. I think that some upscale supermarkets would have a place here.....and would be welcomed. We didn't make it to the fruit and veggie market today....but will go over there on Wednesday of this week.

And sooooo, we feel at home here in the Valley!!!! It feels like our second home....and that we do like. Now.....of course, we have another "home" in Wyoming since we purchased an RV lot in Star Valley Ranch RV Resort this past summer. Soooo, I suppose we now have three "homes"....even though two of them are the RV...haha. A great way to enjoy the last years of our Lives....right???

And, as always.....

LIFE IS JUST REALLY INCREDIBLE!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
