Day 10: OMG........what a FUN, FANTASTIC Evening!!!!
Ahhhhh......how did I possibly know that the slow morning here at TheHowserHouse, sitting only three miles from the Mexican border, would later become the most fun evening we have had in the past 10 days?????!!!!!
The 1st Lady was up and gone by 10AM this morning.......her Line Dancing Class again. Me??? I slowly consumed and enjoyed my French Roast coffee while I caught up on the latest news from the NY Times and the Washington Post papers which I read online each day. While the 1st Lady was gone, I cleaned the inside of TheHowserHouse, vacuuming the carpets, dusting, and just doing some general cleaning after 9 days of living here. She returned around 11:30.....and we had a small bit of lunch before we left to return to the Rec Hall/Club House for our square dancing lessons.
Our new friends, Donna and Danny from Highland Kansas, did arrive and for the next two hours we had a real blast as we learned some more of the basic calls (their are 30+ in all), and laughed at some of the silly mistakes we made while dancing. SUCH great fun.........let me encourage you to give it a try!! You WILL have the time of you Lives............
Then we returned back home for a few minutes, jumped into the truck and picked up Donna and Danny......and head west for the Horseman Saloon. We were to meet other members of the online forum RV.Net......a great resource for rvers........a great place to make friends.....a GREAT online organization/club!!!!!!
WELL.......this Saloon was already packed by the time we arrived a few minutes after 4pm......and thankfully, Shirley of RV.Net "Snowbirds" fame had saved seats for the four of us. And.........there were our Cedar Creek RV Owners Club members John and Laverne ("Sody" on the CCRVOC Forum) waiting for us to arrive!!! WOW......it had been a year since we had seen them........and soon the "party" began!!!!
The music by "12 String Tim and Sharon" was great......very danceable......and MUCHO FUN!!!! Before long, everyone there who were members of the RV.Net group were feeling mucho better.......as well as the 150 or so other senior citizen Winter Texans who were there enjoying the music, the beer, the dancing, and the good times!!! NO ONE would ever believe how MUCH these Winter Texans just absolutely LOVE to dance....and dance.....and dance.....AND DANCE!!!
Sitting at long tables that had room for at least 12 people.......the good times really rolled on and on and on........with the music getting louder, the laughter getting louder.....and deeper friendships developing with the incredible camaraderie that his place brings about!!
The musicians???? Really good.....and the show they put on for four hours left everyone feeling like they had just experienced such a memorable evening. Sharon of the band.....well, every sooo often she would come out in a different costume to sing and dance and entertain......and OMG, DID she ever entertain!!!! We had soooooooooooo damn much fun this evening dancing, drinking a few long necks, and laughing with our CC friends as well as our many new and old friends which we were with!!! I can't remember the last time I was almost "under the table" by 4:30pm....not to mention three hours later!!!!!!
Returning home...........the 1st Lady and I realized that today had been a very busy day......and a lot of it centered around our dance classes AND, most importantly....being with such great friends!!!!!!! Shirley.......when you read this......THANKS SOOOO MUCH for putting together another amazing evening of fun!!!!!!!! YOU are the top organizer in the RGV!!!!! I agree......let's do it again, but this time let's do it south of the border!!! We can assist each other in returning to the border, can't we???
A day like this.........hmmmmm........an aging old hulk who is a victim of evolution(me)........and friendships and togetherness......they all blend soooo well together to make being a silver-haired senior citizen a wonderful experience and one that everyone should have the chance to enjoy down here in the Rio Grande Valley!!!! COME ON DOWN!!!!!
What more can be said.......???? Nothing other than.....................
LIFE IS INCREDIBLY GREAT!!!!!!.......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!

Day 9: Beautiful Day!!!
Hmmm......we had to pull our rears out of the bed earlier this morning........we both had activities this morning. The 1st Lady was off to her Line Dancing class which began at 9am.....and I went to the Spanish Class, which also began at 9am.
My class??? Well.......there were 97 people there......WHEW!!!! Not even enough room for everyone to sit. Does this say something to you???? I think it just shows how sooooo many senior citizens, using their lifetime of experiences, realize that it IS important to learn Spanish no matter how old they might be. The class itself was definitely for beginners.......not certain I will get anything out of this after four semesters of Spanish in college......but perhaps it will refresh my memory and get me back to studying again.
The 1st Lady seemed to enjoy her Line Dancing class.........she does love to line dance....and I'm sure glad she is taking it (without me!). She did meet someone who lives in the same town as her sister does.....in Highland, KS. Small World!!!!!!
Returning to TheHowserHouse.....I decided with the winds dying down, that I needed to wash TheHowserHouse. THIS is always quite a task........and today's wash job took a bit longer. The water here is soooooooooooooooo HARD....and it leaves either water drops on it or streaks where it runs down the side. Oh well.........that, too, will come off at a later date. The entire job took about five hours......and then I sat.....and sat....and enjoyed the weather outside.
About 3:30 we decided to go for a swim.....and so we walked the block to the pool.......the new one that has just been opened.....and it is the third pool and third hot tub that is in the Park. This one is just lovely.....with a huge hot tub. We were there for a couple of hours....the weather was great with temps in the upper 80's and NO winds!!
While there we ran into the lady and her husband who live in Highland, KS.....and so we spent quite some time visiting with them and learning more about them as we became more acquainted. They are going to take the square dancing lessons, so we will see them tomorrow afternoon.
This evening.........a couple of doses of my dark red medicine to nurse my aching muscles from the wash job and climbing up and down the ladder for several hours. The evening is wonderful......great temps!!! Think it IS supposed to be a bit cooler tomorrow.....and that is ok. No problem there...... This week here has already been soooooo much better weather than what we experienced here last year, when they had "the worst weather in January in 63 years"......as many of the locals have told us! And.........that allows me to say that..............
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!

Day 8: HOLD ON......the winds are really strong!
OH YEAH......the only time TheHowserHouse was not rockin' and rollin' was early this morning when we got up to greet the morning. Soon......really soon, the winds were pushing across the border from Mexico and bringing us humid, very warm, and EXTREMELY windy weather. At times it felt like we were being tossed around on the ocean.........SURE glad that the winds were hitting us from the rear of TheHowserHouse....and not broadside!!! WOW.......it could have been disastrous.
The 1st Lady was off to the Rec Hall/Club House for line dancing this morning at 8:45....and was back a bit after 9, as it had been re-scheduled for tomorrow. They were having a meeting in the hall concerning issues some had with the internet and cable tv services here. Soooooo, while I puttered around this morning, she went to the other side of the resort to the gym and did her morning workout there.
Returning, she found this sagging old hulk sitting at the dining room table making phone calls to take care of several items on my agenda for the day. I called to see about getting a part installed that had been shipped to an rv repair and service company in Harlingen....shipped from the Cedar Creek factory in Indiana. To my surprise, the part.....which I have had replaced several times since purchasing this unit three years.......had arrived and was to be installed by the "rv house doctor" who makes house calls.......AND.....the costs are being paid by the factory!!!!!!! WOW.....now, THAT is SERVICE!!!!! Thanks to Steve Hicks of Cedar Creek.....a BIG THANKS!!!!! (The original factory warranty has expired!).
I also called for absentee ballots to be mailed to us from the local Courthouse in F'town.....so we can vote in the February primary. I have been watching, listening, and enjoying the rise of Obama in the past week.......and I AM excited!!! How well I remember seeing and hearing him speak at a rally in STL 14 months ago in support of the candidacy of our now Sen. Clair McCaskill!!!! Soooooo, this evening I went into my blog and checked out the Archives for November.....November 5th to be exact! NOW........I WAS INTERESTED TO SEE THAT MY WRITINGS FOR THAT EVENT DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT IS OCCURRING TODAY BY THOSE LISTENING TO HIS SPEECHES!!!! I URGE you to check it out!!! November 5, 2006......He is an incredible speaker.........and at that time, as you can read......he speaks about what WE can do.....not just him. Even then, I compared him to Bobby Kennedy whom I saw and heard and had the opportunity to meet and talk with just a month before he was shot........and those feelings have not changed over the past 14 months.....except.......to intensify!!!
This afternoon we drove to Alamo Rec-V Park where we joined others from several rv parks for our square dance lessons. OMG........it was sooooo great to return to this!!!! We had such an amazing time last year when we were here.......and this afternoon was a strong preview of the next two months, I hope. We had really fun time......and once again, it all came back to us, like riding a bicycle(which I need to go buy,hmmmm....). Soooooo much fun.........!!
We returned to Llano Grande and TheHowserHouse, which was, and is, still "blowin' in the wind". Supposed to calm down tonight.....and return to normal tomorrow.......we'll see!!
Some great dark red medicine was taken prior to dinner this evening.....and it help me considerably......!!!! I even took another dose with dinner here in TheHowserHouse......and it made the strong winds seem not as strong and blustery as they actually were.....heehee!!!
Tomorrow: Spanish lessons in the morning for myself....and line dancing for the 1st Lady. Then.....I hope to wash TheHowserHouse which still has the residue from our trip south all over it. Had I washed it yesterday or today......the water would have blown off of it and it would have been dry before I could get it clean!!!
I made a couple of comments Saturday about facing my mortality and the eventual decline of my youthful looks with my evolution which comes from age. I hope I did not offend anyone about the silver-haired senior citizens that we saw at the Travel Show.......it was not intended to be so.......just a figure of speech to get across the point that there were soooooo many of the older generation there at the Show. It is WE.....the senior citizens of this world......who have the time to travel and in many cases the extra coins with which to make these travels possible. And.....the markets of the world know that this IS the case.....and we are the targets of their intense advertising campaigns. GOOD!!!!! Finally, we are needed and appreciated for our abilities to purchase, to travel, to enjoy our retired Lives!!!!! Soooooo, we all need to wear our silver hair(IF we have ANY hair left) with dignity......as a badge of honor for the trials and troubles we have faced and endured and conquered. THIS is the best time of our Lives.......and will continue to be so, as long as we have our......HEALTH!!!! And.......not a one of us have any idea when our health will begin to go downhill, do we????? Enjoy Life each day........Life is too short to stay in one place!!!! Each day makes me realize even more than ever that......
LIFE IS REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!!........And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!

Day 6: WOW!!! WARM and WILD WINDS!!!!!
Another incredible morning.........and it was very evident that it was going to be really warm. And......soon the winds began to blow....and blow......and BLOW!!!! We had our breakfast.......puttered around.....and then left for Mexico(Progreso). It doesn't take but a few short minutes and we are at the border.....the bridge across the Rio Grande. Parking was a breeze....$2.00.....and then $.25 to walk across the bridge.......and voila!!! We were in Mexico.....colorful Mexico.
The first store on the Mexican side???? A wonderful liquor, beer, perfume, and cigarette store......and it was fun to browse, but we didn't buy anything. Did look at a lot of prices on the liquor, but we really didn't consume all that we purchased 11 months ago when we left here so there is no need.......at least right now......to purchase any more.
From there on........we stopped in all of the little shops and stalls, as well as the Farmacias.........the pharmacies where many, many of the drugs/meds that we need scrips for you can just buy across the counter AND...for a lot less money. We did some comparison shopping, not buying, but made some notes on some of the meds and their prices. The lines are ALWAYS long to get to the counter.....soooooooooooooooooooooooooo many Winter Texans come here to get their meds at mucho cheaper prices. And.........I can't being to even give you an idea how MANY Farmacias there are in the two man blocks of the main street.....where everything happens. There are tons and tons of them........sometimes three in a row, side by side. The other main shops were Dentistas......dentists. And...I do believe that there are more of them than anything else in the town!!!!
Dental work? They do it all......very cheap....and there are some dentists here, according to those who have used them year after year. However, it is certainly not as cheap as the 1st Lady and I get ours done for.........de nada.......nothing! Sure is nice to have a daughter who is a dentist and who does our dental work!!!!!!!
About 1pm.....we decided it was time to replenish our bodies....both with liquid and food. Sooooo, one of our very favorite places in Progeso last year was "The Red Snapper".....and up the stairs we went. First......we ordered Margaritas......two for the price of one Happy Hour specials. Of course........it is Happy Hour ALL day long....hahaha. GREAT!!!!! Then we ordered the Fried Shrimp dinner.......OMG!!!!! The six shrimp were butterflied......and they were soooooo big....and ohhhhhhh sooooo gooooooood!!!!!! Such a fresh taste.....and so little batter on them.....and oh so wonderful! Of course, by the time we left there, we both were feeling our Margaritas........definitely.
A bit more shopping and walking and looking at so many items. I picked up a box of my favorite Mexican cookies.......they are superb with coffee and/or tea.....and I was excited to dive into them this evening with my nightly cup of tea. The 1st Lady purchased a few things for gifts for later on this spring........and then we decided to head back to TheHowserHouse. We have two plus months here....and there will be many trips over for lunch/dinner and drinks during this time. We have some friends who are considering coming down to see us.......and I CERTAINLY hope they can make it.........lots to show them and lots to do. COME ON DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back home......OMG......the winds were horrific!!!! THANK GOD we were not attempting to drive.....because it would have been ATTEMPTING!!!! Doubt that we could have driven very far with TheHowserHouse in tow with these winds........35mph with gusts up to 40mph plus.
The evening? We watched "The Amazing Race"........and sure were not happy that the last couple to arrive at "the pit stop".....were the last to arrive. We hope/hoped that they would win......but who knows? They still could.........maybe.
Tomorrow.......warmer and more high winds. We have a busy schedule ahead of us for Monday........line dancing in the morning for the 1st Lady.....and then we go square dancing tomorrow afternoon over at another RV park. A Dancing Day!!! And with today's fun, food, and frivolous shopping.........
LIFE IS REALLY GREAT!!!!!!.......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!

Day 6: WHAT stunning weather!!!!! WHAT a GREAT place to spend a winter!!!!
AMAZING!!! Very difficult to believe that today was only January 5!!!! It was sooooo damn wonderful outside this morning........the windows came up, and the warm air came rushing in....carried in on the early breezes(which turned into some very strong winds later). I took my French Roast coffee outside on the patio.....watching the palmettos and palm trees and the grapefruit/orange trees gently swaying. Soooooo pleasant!!!
A bit later we were off to the McAllen, TX, Convention Center....about 15 miles west of where we are in Mercedes. OMG.....when we arrived there were hundreds and hundreds of "silver/blue haired" senior citizens(including a few silver hairs of myself). It was the annual Travel Show that is held there.......and there were many, many booths from all of the states in Mexico, and many of our states here in the south/southwest, including cities and towns of these states. We came away with bags full of wonderful ideas for travel.......in Mexico. We are very interested in traveling in Mexico....NOT just across the border, but down into the heart of that wonderful country....and so, these booths were very helpful to us for the plans we need to make.
Now.....to the many senior citizens there.....and please, I DO realize that I....this sagging hulk of an old school band director.......can be, and SHOULD be...counted in with all of those senior citizens!!!!! It is just at times like this morning that I find myself facing my mortality and coming to grips with reality that I AM a part of this growing group of citizens. And....down here in the RGV....there are tens....perhaps hundreds...of thousands of senior citizens who flock here to savor the warmth, save money when they dine in the local establishments, and enjoy the incredible entertainment that is available to them/each of us. This is a really great.....a wonderful....place to spend the winter. Another plus??????? The warmth and friendliness that is shown to all of us who are here for a few months....the appreciation that the local people show to us, including our friends...our Latino brothers and sisters.....in the neighboring towns and villages on the immediate south side of the border!!! WHAT a GREAT place to spend a winter!!!!!
After leaving the Convention Center........we went bicycle "hunting". I found one that I REALLY liked, it felt good, it rode good, BUT.......it was a bit more than I want to spend. However, it was one hell of lot cheaper than some that I looked at..........$4000.00 plus!!!!!!! Good God......unless I turned pro, I sure as hell would never spend that much for a bicycle!!! Soooo, I will keep looking.........
We made a couple of other stops and then returned to TheHowserHouse. Where we are located with such wonderful spacing between the various RV's from side to side......the winds were really kicking up.......and had blown over my lawn chairs while we were gone. In fact, across the street the grapefruit tree lost a limb that was heavy with the large fruit.....and so we went over and picked up some of the fruit that was laying on the ground.
And so....another day gone. Another good day......and one that ensures that......
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!.......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
A bit later we were off to the McAllen, TX, Convention Center....about 15 miles west of where we are in Mercedes. OMG.....when we arrived there were hundreds and hundreds of "silver/blue haired" senior citizens(including a few silver hairs of myself). It was the annual Travel Show that is held there.......and there were many, many booths from all of the states in Mexico, and many of our states here in the south/southwest, including cities and towns of these states. We came away with bags full of wonderful ideas for travel.......in Mexico. We are very interested in traveling in Mexico....NOT just across the border, but down into the heart of that wonderful country....and so, these booths were very helpful to us for the plans we need to make.
Now.....to the many senior citizens there.....and please, I DO realize that I....this sagging hulk of an old school band director.......can be, and SHOULD be...counted in with all of those senior citizens!!!!! It is just at times like this morning that I find myself facing my mortality and coming to grips with reality that I AM a part of this growing group of citizens. And....down here in the RGV....there are tens....perhaps hundreds...of thousands of senior citizens who flock here to savor the warmth, save money when they dine in the local establishments, and enjoy the incredible entertainment that is available to them/each of us. This is a really great.....a wonderful....place to spend the winter. Another plus??????? The warmth and friendliness that is shown to all of us who are here for a few months....the appreciation that the local people show to us, including our friends...our Latino brothers and sisters.....in the neighboring towns and villages on the immediate south side of the border!!! WHAT a GREAT place to spend a winter!!!!!
After leaving the Convention Center........we went bicycle "hunting". I found one that I REALLY liked, it felt good, it rode good, BUT.......it was a bit more than I want to spend. However, it was one hell of lot cheaper than some that I looked at..........$4000.00 plus!!!!!!! Good God......unless I turned pro, I sure as hell would never spend that much for a bicycle!!! Soooo, I will keep looking.........
We made a couple of other stops and then returned to TheHowserHouse. Where we are located with such wonderful spacing between the various RV's from side to side......the winds were really kicking up.......and had blown over my lawn chairs while we were gone. In fact, across the street the grapefruit tree lost a limb that was heavy with the large fruit.....and so we went over and picked up some of the fruit that was laying on the ground.
And so....another day gone. Another good day......and one that ensures that......
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!.......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!

Day 5: Wonderfully WARM...and a Fun Winter Texan evening!!
OMG.....what a stunning morning!!!! While most of the day was partly to mostly cloudy, the morning was gorgeous...and the rest of the day was sooooo nice and warm. I even wore shorts from mid-morning until later this afternoon........mid 70's+!!!!
The 1st Lady had a leisurely morning.......and then took a walk to the other side of the resort.....stopping at the "Club House" to check on the activities, tours, and dinner/dances that are scheduled for the next month and also for February. We signed up for Beginning Spanish classes on Tuesday mornings.......we'll see just how beginning they are going to be......we both have had several semesters of Spanish in college.....YEARS and YEARS ago! So....if it will help to restore our memories of the language....then we will take the class, but if it is tooooooo elementary, than we will drop out of it. We both feel that we need to regain our abilities to converse in and read Spanish
as it will allow us to communicate with our next door neighbors.....three miles away.
We checked out the tours into Mexico.....and are actually giving some thought to taking one in late Feb or early March. We want to go deeper into Mexico to see and feel and enjoy the REAL Mexico......and not just the touristy part right across the border. The prices are pretty good, but need to talk with some who have taken one or more of these tours.
This afternoon the 1st Lady went to the gym to get her instructions to the equipment......a required appointment with the staff there. She enjoys going there......and is anxious to get back on a schedule of exercising.
We then got an email that there was going to be a small gathering of some RV.Net members for supper. We replied that we would be there........and oh, but what a fun evening it turned out to be!!!
We met in downtown Weslaco at Jose's Cafecito.......a nice and inexpensive Mexican cafe that also served some American food. There were eight of us there......including the wonderful "organizer" Shirley......who DOES get things organized really well!!! She and Ron have their "summer" home at the Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri......my home area! Then there was a couple from Michigan.......and another couple from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada........who spend their winters in Mexico, but are originally from Switzerland and Austria!! How's that for being citizens of the world????? It was a really FUN, FUN group!!!!!
The food???? Nothing to brag about, but not one complaint, either!!! It was generally good....and I would/will return there again. However, the icing on the evening was the family group that performed for two hours!!!!!!! They were soooooooooooo good.......and sooooooooo much fun!!!! "Mari and her Spanish Angels"..........a mother and father and their seven children, ages 5 to 21. Marie is originally from Mexico and came to the states with here parents when she was a child........became citizens and she now has an incredibly talented family group!!!!
They all play various musical instruments from the keyboard, guitars, to various percussion instruments. The smallest one......well, WOW......he was really a cutie, dancing and playing the claves and enjoying himself thoroughly performing for the audience in the cafe!!!!!
IF you are in the area, make plans to go and hear them at Jose's Cafecito. They perform on Friday and Saturday nights there.......no cover charge....and very few meals are over $7.00!!!! It is in Weslaco at 260 S. Texas Avenue.....and will be worth your time to spend an evening there.
THIS is what being a Winter Texan is all about!!!!! Great weather, wonderfully friendly Winter Texans, and being soooooooo accepted and appreciated by the residents of this Rio Grande Valley!!!! How can you ask for more?????
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!!!.......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!!

WOW.....a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!!
After a cold night here, three miles from the US-Mexican border......today was a gorgeous day....with the highs in the l0w 70's and an almost perfectly clear sky of a wonderful blue. And....the forecast is for highs in the 80's over the weekend......YEAH!!!!
I stepped across the street and picked a couple of fresh ruby red grapefruit off the of the tree......and they were just wondeful.....sooooo sweet and sooooo juicy!!! WOW!!!! WHY can't we ever get this kind of grapefruit in Misery????????????????
I spent most of the morning finishing our set up for the TheHowserHouse for the next two months. There was still quite a bit to do......re-arrange the basement and get the patio chairs out along with the BBQ grill and a new table that we purchased in Arizona last year. The 1st Lady finished getting some bills paid, got our entrance card for the gym here in the park, and a few other chores that she needed to finish. I also got her bike fixed up, went to the Park Office and picked up a modem for the internet access as the wifi sucks here. TOOOOO many people sharing it in this section of the Park.....and it is soooo damn slow that most pages cannot finish downloading. Since the box with the modem did not have instructions, they will send out a person to install it for us, even tho I did it last year without a hitch.
I spent some time visiting with our neighbor from Montreal.......and then met his wife, who speaks no English. Gilles has a great command of English, but then he has spoken it in his job for years. He did ask if his accent bothered his English.....but there is hardly any accent in his pronunciation. He has asked us to visit him in Montreal when we are up there this upcoming summer.....and we probably will do that.
Our electrical problem is still there.....but is not bothering us. We just be careful not to overload the system......otherwise it trips the breaker out on the power post beside TheHowserHouse.
I had a bit of lunch out on the patio sitting in the brillian sunshine......it was terrific. As usual here in the Valley.....the breezes are always moving the wind....however, it was very pleasant today!
Later this afternoon we went to the fruit/veggie market. It was a bit late to go, but OMG, the pineapples were soooooooo incredibly tasty and sweet!($2.00)!!!! We bought one, which the seller cored and peeled on his little machine......and brought it home. We also purchased some small tomatoes, some HUGE carrots, large fresh red and yellow peppers($.75 each). We also bought a huge cabbage and some bananas. From there we went to the nearest Wally World which was PACKED with people......and stocked up on some necessary food items.
This evening I called and visited with a Cedar Creek RV Owners Club member from PA. He and his wife....and the 1st Lady and I are planning to get together next week for lunch. I encouraged him to come to our International Rally in Indiana next June.....and he said they are thinking seriously about being there!
And so......our first full day here in the Rio Grande Valley has been a good one. Tomorrow??? Well, nothing planned.....we will just enjoy the moment(s) and see where the day may lead us. No matter where it takes us, though..........

RGV.........Home for 2-3 months!!!!!
TheHowserHouse rolled into the RGV....and Llano Grande RV Park.....this afternoon around 2:30pm.......took about 5 hours from where we overnighted last night just 10 miles north of San Antonio. Arriving at Llano.........just before going into the main gate there was some semi parked stretching from side to side of the street.....and therefore, no one could get into the Park. The only way was to BACK UP the street for about a quarter of a mile to the "new gate" which has not officially opened. Hmmmmm.....this calls for a comment: They are not really any farther along than they were when we left here on the 1st of Feb last year!!!! Don't they work in the spring, summer, and fall?????? Thoughts.....just my thoughts!!!
So, after slowly backing up the street.......not an easy task to back up TheHowserHouse in a straight line......it does not like doing such a strange thing! There was also a large 5er in front of me that was also backing up....towards me. Sooooo, with traffic still coming down the street towards the park entrance.....this task became quite a challenge. But......we survived and pulled into the park.....and since I already had my site number, we just drove straight to it, and pulled in. THEN......I gathered up my paperwork and walked to the Park Office......farther than a quarter of mile....more like a half??? Anyway.....
Got there, waited in line for about 10 minutes, and then signed all the paperwork, paid my bill for the next two months, and asked for a modem for the internet. Last year, the wifi was soooooo damn slow that I finally went back and got a modem. WELL.....today, they said they had no more, would not get any more.....and that was that!!! Oh....they told me I could go buy one at Wally World for $75.......oh sure, then what the hell do I do with it after two months? I sure as hell do not need one at the stick and brick.
And so.....walked back to our site.....and then straigtened out the CC....and began the task of getting set up for the next two months. While doing that, a nice fellow on a bike wheeled up and said something like: "It's time you got here"...or something like that. Seems that he is from Ontario, Canada........and has been reading my blog for a while. We plan to get together soon....and then the fellow next to me came over and he is from Montreal, Canada.
We got set up, BUT......I plugged the cord into the 50amp....and went inside to check......and some of the things that had NOT worked two nights ago.....they WORKED!!! BUT.....BUT.....other things inside did NOT work. Sooooooo, we went back to the 30 amp plugin and are using that. We just have to be careful not to overload it..........!!!!!
Tonight.....we are sitting in front of the fireplace watching TV.......and I am making plans for tomorrow. Need to call and set up an appt. for the part that is being shipped to me from the Cedar Creek factory.....and then talk to the repair man that will put it on.......to discuss with him the electrical problem we are having. Oh well...........things could be mucho worse......I heard from a CC club member who is down here in the RGV....and his furnace has quit working
Last night our umbilical water hose froze completely.....not just at the connections but the entire thing was frozen solid. Soooooo, heated some water and and poured it on the connections and then just screwed them together and let it thaw on the trip down here today.
And so.........here we are!!!!! Anxious for this cold snap to unsnap......supposed to be in the 80's by the weekend!!!! GREAT!!!!.......and with temps like those are going to be.......
LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!.......And, I hope it is for all of you, also

Hmmmmm......seems the cold weather has attached itself to TheHowserHouse!!!
Yep......it IS going to be a cold night down here tonight!!!!! We are at the Stone Creek RV Park, just 10 miles north of San Antonio.......not a very attractive place, but the price IS right. We belong to a campground group called Passport America......and there are right at 1500 RV parks that are members......and so, in those parks we only have to pay one-half of the actual price of staying in those campgrounds. It is a really great deal.........right after we joined last year while out in Arizona......the next place we stayed saved us the yearly dues.......on just four nights there. And....that was almost a year ago. We HAVE saved many, many dollars by being members.
We drove down here from Texarkana.....through/around the Dallas area(actually while Mizzou was playing in the Cotton Bowl and winning), down through Waco, Austin, and then arrived here about 4:30pm. Tomorrow we should be at our destination....Llano Grande RV Park.....by early afternoon and can then get TheHowserHouse set up for the next two months. The weather for later this week is supposed to be in the 80's.......YEAH!!!
Tonight it is supposed to be down to 26 degrees...........guess we will burn some propane tonight in the furnace. We have the fireplace going, the tellie going, and have had a light supper. All seems well here with us...........just anxious to get down to the RGV and enjoy all of the activities and fresh fruits/veggies, and the many trips over into Mexico!!!! Stay tuned for the daily happenings...........because....
