- Overnight gusty winds, rain, lightning, thunder. Morning, cool, temp: 50, high: 54.
- Very rainy morning - raining hard most of the time.
- Dan & Dawn arrive at 9:15 PM last Tuesday evening. They departed this Sunday morning at 9:15 AM. Thanks Dan & Dawn for wonderful company and a relaxing few days. Have a safe trip back to Minnesota.
- Hard rain has finally let up at 10:30 AM.
- Think rain may have finally stopped. Even looks likes it's clearing a little.
- Haven't done much today. Cleaned up around the house in preparation for return of Jim & Diane on Tuesday evening. Washed a load of clothes. Watched a lot of TV. Tomorrow's suppose to be better weather.
- Since I have a rule to not go biking when the temp is under 50, I can't even get in my ride today. Ugh.
- Sun finally came out at about 4 PM, but it's so windy, gusts up to 15 mph.
- Five o'clock, time for ice cream social, & then the movie, "Christmas Candle".
- Merry Christmas to all my friends & relatives from the Southern most location in the USA - Pharr Texas.
- Coolest morning this season, 38. High: 67. Very brisk, but mostly clear.
- Dan & Dawn are here sharing their Christmas with me. We'll keep this blog open reporting events of Christmas day 2014 as they occur.
- We may be even able to post Dawn's pictures of Pharr lights from last night this morning.
- Keep watching.
- Had breakfast of cereal & fruit & toast.
- Opened Christmas gifts. Thanks Dan & Dawn for that NASA book & sudoku books.
- These are pictures of downtown Pharr that I took last evening with my phone. Later I'll replace them with Dawn's pictures as they will be clearer.
- Had a delicious Christmas buffet at Echo Hotel in Edinburg with Dan & Candy Sasse & Candy's son, Jason.
- Just got home from touring down to Chimney RV Park in Mission on the Rio Grande.
- Late this evening, past my bedtime, Dan & Dawn drove over to the Hidalgo Festival of Lights. Hopefully I'll get some pictures from Dawn to post on this web site.
- Dan & Dawn arrived at about 9:15 PM last evening & were setup by 10.
- Very cool, clear, & windy today, temp: 49, high: 63. No swimming today for Dan & Dawn.
- Had a What-A-Burger for lunch.
- Then went to H-E-B for a day & a half of groceries.
- Napped.
- Day stayed sunny, hot, & windy all day.
- Fixed bacon & cheese on toast for supper. Mmm . . . good.
- Finally to prove that Dan & Dawn are here, here's the GMC & Scamp parked in slot 28 at Paradise Park.
- In the evening we drove to downtown Pharr and Dawn took lots of pictures of the beautiful Christmas lights. I'll give you some sample tomorrow night.
- Kathy called wishing us all Merry Christmas. Thanks, Kath, for the call. And Merry Christmas to you & your family.
- Finally, what a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas with Dan & Dawn here with me. Perhaps Kath & Dave & their families can make it in later years.
- Nice morning, temp: 67, high: 76. High winds forecast.
- My son, Dan, & his wife, Dawn, stayed overnight just outside of Tulsa, OK on their way to Pharr.
- Kathy sent me a nice gift card to Cinemark Theaters. So this morning, while I still have a car and before Dan & Dawn arrive this evening, I'm going to go see "The Theory of Everything" a movie based on a book I've read by noted physicist, Stephen Hawking. Perhaps then I'll be able to answer the question my RidgePointe friends have for me after they saw it.
- On my way to the theater, Jim called me. He sounded excellent. Of course he's still on pain meds. He described the surgery to me and sounded in great spirits.
- And, by the way, the movie was excellent. It was mostly about the personal life of Stephen Hawking rather than about his physics. I really enjoyed it.
- Napped.
- Biked 2 miles despite wind gusts of 40 mph.
- Dan took his APRS tracking equipment with him, so I'm able to look at a map see where he is. Right now he's just south of San Antonio at 6 PM on Tuesday. Should get here between 9 & 10.
- Below are a couple of the nicer decorated trailers.
