Day 6, Jan 6/09: Another great day in the Valley!!

WOW.......a great day....warm-up to 70 degrees...and now at almost midnight it is still in the 60's!!!! We ARE enjoying it as we know that the door is open north of here...and soon we will be overcome with frigid air down here along the border....DAMN!!!!

After three cups of Fr Roast coffee....and the 1st Lady had her hot tea, she left for her first intermediate Line Dance class......1.5 hours of instruction which she returned saying that it was much more difficult!!! Myself????? I went over to Doug's motorcoach and helped him fix a leaky drain in the kitchen sink.......took a bit longer than we anticipated as we had to do it twice....the 1st time was a screw-up by putting one of the parts in wrong. BUT...the good news is that it now works perfectly without dripping water under the sink....YEAH!!!!

Then after a quick lunch, the 1st Lady and I went back to Lakewood RV Park for what was listed as square dancing mainstream and plus review lesson. Well.......it was ALL mainstream.....the beginning part of the square dancing lessons.....and we have already finished the plus....the second on the tier. But........it just wasn't what we had expected and we were not too happy with the two hours of doing the same thing over and over.....ugh!!!

Returning to the Resort after a quick stop at the local H.E.B.......a grocery chain that dominates the food scene here in the 50 mile valley......we enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine with some appetizers, then fixed a great salad for dinner.

The evening was full of laughs...and more laughs....as we went over to Doug/Diane's motorhome and played Sequence for a few hours.......a real riot!!!!!! A bit more wine....some popcorn...and a few chocolate bites.....and we probably gained another pound....or two!

Tomorrow.......we are going over to Mexico as the 1st Lady needs to get some meds for her mother and brother. Last year they were much cheaper than here in the states.....so, we will see how the prices are this year!!!! Anxious to go over......it has been two months since we were in Puerto Vallarta....and we do miss the Mexican/Latin culture.....miss it a lot!!!! Can't wait.....plant to have lunch and a few margaritas while over there.......WOW!!!!

Tomorrow night we will be square dancing....and hope to see our friends from Canada....Charlie and Katherine, Pat and Tom from Kansas, and Dave and Jean from Canada!!!! We have missed them a lot over the past 9 months.......just amazing how close we all have become after being here in the RGV for three years....this winter being our fourth one!!! We have such an amazing time all together!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do now have the pictures up and going from the past evening, etc., etc. Just needed to purchase some more storage so that I could post the pics on my blog. Not a problem......just a few little dollars to get more pics on here.

And so.....it was a great day....the sun was nice and warm...and we enjoyed it as much as possible as the weather, as I said, is going to make a change for the worst......the temps dropping rapidly during the day tomorrow.

Oh yeah......we did get our modem hooked up and now do not have to depend on the park wifi which is getting slower and slower as more and more rv's arrive for the winter. It IS good to have a much better access to our own wifi within TheHowserHouse on wheels, with the use of the modem.

Soooooo, another day of our winter has passed all too quickly......but, as always.....

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