WOW......this is the prettiest day we have had since we arrived last Sunday afternoon. BRIGHT blue sky, BRIGHT sun, no clouds, and a bit of heat from the sun. The temps rose into the 40's today after a cold 27 degrees last night which included a hard freeze. I have not heard if the groves and groves of orange and grapefruit trees survived, but we have one more night with another hard freeze, however only 30 degrees....supposedly.....tonight. Temps will rise up into the 60's and low 70's this week......YEAH!!!!!! THAT's more like it!!!
OK....the 1st Lady??? She is doing just fine. Following the Dr.'s orders and staying off of her feet(right leg). I did the running for her today, going upstairs to get the things she needed, etc., etc. I made a run to the post office this morning, went on my first trip to the local fresh fruit/veggie market and picked up some of each: incredible Mars oranges which are soooooo damn sweet and juicy, HUGE red peppers for a few little dimes, a magnificent cauliflower...about the size of a basketball......yep, honest to God.....wonderful sweet carrots, and a few other items. Then, after filling the tank with diesel, I returned. The local propane company came through the resort and would fill any propane tank, if we just set it along the curb.....we pay, of course. BUT.....only $18 for a 30 lb bottle....a dollar and a half more than if I would go have it filled, but worth that so that I didn't have to drag it out and into the truck and then in reverse after it is filled a mile from here.
The afternoon was just relaxing.........and we were invited over to Doug/Diane's for pizza and drinks during the late afternoon. The 1st Lady carefully descended the steps from the RV and we walked the very short distance to their motorhome. Pizza was great....GREAT....and the conversation was even better......we just seem to laugh more when we are with them!!!
This evening, she just remained inside TheHowserHouse while I took the laundry to the closest laundromat here in the resort....there are three of them.....and took care of getting things washed and dried....and folded.
During the day/evening we have had tons of phone calls and emails and visits from friends and relatives all over the country and Canada who all voiced their concerns for her and expressed their well wishes to her. Soooooooo wonderful of everyone to be so concerned....and we both are sooooo appreciative of this. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
And soooo, another day here in the RGV has passed quickly......and, as always.....
LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!
