  • Very different weather today from yesterday: high clouds, calm, cool, almost cold, temp: 44, high: 59.
  • I know I've asked this question before, but why does 44 feel so cold down here and so warm up North? Ugh.
  • This morning I went over to fix Bobbie Timm's printer problem. Problem was a corroded USB port on her computer. She also wanted her new tablet connected, but it's battery was dead. Maybe tomorrow.
  • This afternoon Jim & I explored a used car for one of our grandkids. Sent pictures (see below) to Amy.
  • Later I called my daughter, Kathy, to find out some info about my cell phone. Thanks Kath for the info.
  • Too cold to ride bike, although late afternoon, sun came out and it was at least pleasant.
  • Late afternoon I called my son, Dave to find out if he still needed a car for his daughter, Hannah. They do not. And thanks Dave for taking my call.
  • After a Subway supper, J&D are up at the Hall playing Bingo.
  • Below are pictures of the car Jim found for one of our grandkids. Seems to be in good shape & is reasonably priced. The worst problem appears to be a cracked windshield.

  • Breezy, cloudy, warm, temp:68, high: 82.
  • This morning, Amy, Tim, Mavis, Beth, & Brad have to return to Minnesota. They were up at 4 as Tim had to drive his Mom over to the McAllen airport for her 6 AM flight. Then he returned to pick up the others to take all of them to the Harlingen airport for their 8 AM flight. 
  • Had breakfast with our Canadian friends at Taco Fiesta this morning. Had 8 in our group.
  • Mid morning, I biked nearly 5 miles through The Plantation. Nice day for it.
  • It is a very warm day today with the high nearing 90. Tomorrow's high only 63. Weird weather.
  • Late morning nap.
  • Today for the first time, Jim drove himself to PT. I think he's happy to be able to do that. Doctor says he's making very good progress. (But he cannot lift seed corn bags this Spring!)
  • As mentioned above, early afternoon was very warm. However, a front come through and by 5 o'clock, the temp has fallen to 65. Feels cold.
  • After supper, Phil stopped by saying he thought he had a virus on his laptop. So I went over, and indeed he did; in fact, he had 2 viruses. We removed them and now he's doing a full scan which may take several hours.
  • Diane & Jim are playing Bingo & Cards, respectively.
  • Sorry to tell you that I have no pictures tonight. But I'll take some tomorrow.

  • Warm, pleasant, moonlit morning with high scattered clouds, light breeze, temp: 61, high: 73. Rain coming.
  • Went to Men's Breakfast at Taco Fiesta. Had just over 20.
  • Just as we got home it started raining. Had about a 15 minute shower.
  • Late morning, Phil brought over his golf cart to get help from Jim on installing turning signals without any directions. Four hours later, it was finally operational.
  • Got so busy with the turn signal project that I didn't get in my daily bike ride. Ugh.
  • Late afternoon, we drove over to McAllen airport to pick up Mavis who will be staying with us over the weekend. We stopped at Taco Fiesta for supper.
  • Didn't get any pictures taken today (Oops, see picture below), but should get some tomorrow as Amy & Tim and Beth & Brad are joining us for the weekend. 
  • Finally, re the 2 baby pictures from yesterday, my brother, Jim, is on the left in the baby buggy, & my brother, Tom, is on the right in the high chair. Note Jim has his eyes shut for pictures even at that young age. Don't know the year of these pictures.
  • Found a picture that I sent to Phil re our turn signal project. It's "greek" to me, but someone out there might recognize it. ;-)
