Thursday Feb 28/13 Time is getting shorter in the Texas Sunshine
We have been busy enjoying the Texas Sunshine. Our street party was on Feb 16 and we had a potluck lunch on the street and played beanbag and ladder golf games after.
Unfortunately Canada lost the CAN-AM golf tournament last week but we keep playing golf anyway.
We have been doing some new things too. Last Saturday, I went with Maureen, Bonnie and John to "Smokin on the Rio" in Mercedes and were judges for a smoked ribs competition - tasting 10 different rib entries. Maureen, Bonnie, Brenda, Judy and I spent the afternoon before at the same place watching 3 top valley singers for an afternoon happy hours party for Winter Texans.
Last Monday Brenda, Maureen and I went to the local Aloe Vera Farm - where I had been 2 times before but I like going to see the 90 year old couple who do the tours of the place. This time the plants were all flowering too. Later Bonnie and John hosted Maureen's birthday dinner with a raclette burner with shrimp,beef and chicken with fancy cheeses.
Last Tuesday we held the first M A Ladies luncheon. 22 ladies enjoyed a potluck lunch together and shared stories of how they got there M A name.
Today, 28 members of our TG Bike Club enjoyed a tour hosted by the McAllen Economic Development Corporation showing us a warehouse of the McAllen Free Trade Zone ( only Free Trade Zone in the USA that isn't attached to a port), a plastic injection molding plant and the technical campus of South Texas College. Very interesting.
Don played his first slow pitch playoff game but did not complete it because very sadly his team manager suffered a massive coronary at the end of the 7th inning and was pronounced dead at the hospital. That ruins the fun of the season.
I continue to rock babies for 4 hours per week and still feel very privileged to be able to do it.
Also our Garden Club keeps busy with our new garden and the new plants are doing well.
Next week is another golf competition, final slow pitch games and the big chili contest and movie on Friday night. Full speed ahead.
