Monday, January 19, 2015


  • Another pleasant morning, calm, high clouds, temp: 55, high: 72.
  • Had regular Monday breakfast with Canadian friends at Taco Fiesta. Had 11 this morning.
  • Dan & Dawn made it to Reno this morning. I tracked them all the way through the mountains. Amtrak was on schedule. Hope they send me more pictures today.
  • J&D and C&D drove up to Bertha's Salon to get their haircuts. I stayed home to research a project since I had one recently.
  • Biked over to Dollar General to get something, stopping at Burger King on my way home for lunch
  • I drove Jim to PT at 3 PM
  • Got my 2 mile bike ride in at 4:30 on a lovely evening: clear, calm, bright sun, temp: 68. Perfecto!
  • Here's some pictures from Dan sent from Reno. Thanks for the pictures, Dan & Dawn. Say hello from us to Mike & Mary.
Don't know who this belongs to nor the significance

  • Calm, moonlit, high clouds, cool morning, temp: 45, high: 63 (that's almost 10 degrees warmer than yesterday).
  • Beautiful day today. At noon, temp is 60 and sun is shining bright with only light breeze.
  • Mid afternoon, I finally got in my 2 mile bike ride for the first time in several days. Rain & cold kept off the bike.
  • Late afternoon, we drove up to Pharr South for their fish fry. It was very good. Bingo followed.
  • And to continue my Christmas parade of pictures, when Dan & Dawn were here over Christmas, they wanted to go view & photograph the Christmas lights at the Hidalgo Festival of Lights. But of course they had to do that after dark. So it was 9 or 10 o'clock when they'd leave. I was just too tired to go out that late. So I'd stay home. But they brought me lots of pictures, some of which are shown below. (These photos were also taken Christmas night.) Thanks Dan & Dawn for the great memories.

  • Cool morning, high clouds, light breeze, temp:44, high: 48.
  • Rode along with Diane & Jim for his 3rd PT session.
  • After, Dan & Jim went over to a Polka jam at Enchanted Village while Diane went to H-E-B. I napped.
  • The afternoon turned out to be not very nice outside. Temp is only 46, it's blustery & windy, and it raining quite hard. Yuk!
  • This evening, with Dan & Candy home sick, Jim & Diane drove over to Paradise Park of McAllen to play Bingo. Good luck!

  • Another beautiful morning, clear, calm, temp: 62, high: 79
  • All day Yard Sale; canceled pancake breakfast
  • Fixed Diane's computer; mouse unfixable
  • Fixed Candy's computer successfully
  • Lunch at Taco Fiesta with Dan & Candy; then women went shopping
  • Biked 2 1/4 miles
  • Started receiving Christmas cards from friends & relatives
  • Had supper at Pharr South preceding Bingo. Both Dan & Diane won at Bingo
This is Dan & Candy's home during the day.

Their place again, at night. Christmas lights didn't turn out as spectacular as they really are because I had to get so close to pick up the light.
