• High clouds, warm, calm, rained overnight, temp: 59, high: 69.
• We had 8 this morning at our regular Monday morning breakfast with Canadians at Taco Fiesta.
• Jim drove to PT this morning for his next to last PT appointment. Then after the last doctor visit, he's ready to head North.
• It was raining quite hard when we got home. Looks like it may rain all day. Hafta stay indoors. Ugh.
• Jim & Dan each took their vans to the local Chrysler garage for recall work. They also got them prepared for returning to Minnesota.
• The rain finally subsided after lunch. So I biked through The Plantation for 3.6 miles dodging lots of puddles.
• Most of the afternoon was pleasant in the low 70s with no rain. However at supper time it started drizzling again and is forecasted to continue through thunderstorms tomorrow.
• This evening, Diane & Candy drove over to Paradise Park in McAllen to play Bingo while Jim played cards at our Hall.
• At supper, we discussed our departure date. With Jim's last doctor appointment on March 23rd, we had planned to leave March 24th. However, he finishes his PT on March 12 and has been able to move up his doctor appointment to March 17th. So we could leave any time after that and after we're ready. Right now our plans is to look at the weather forecasts next Monday, March 16, and try to set our plans.

• Warming trend continues, high clouds, light breeze, temp: 52, high: 65. Today is the last day for a week with a high less than 70. Yippee! And only 4 days of remaining February with the high less than 70.
• Diane & Jim left early this morning with Wendy, taking her to the Harlingen airport as she's returning to Minnesota today.
• J&D and D&C drove over to Pharr South for a craft sale. They really went for Jim to get Biscuits & Gravy which they sell during the craft sale.
• I drove Jim to PT for his 10:30 appointment. Lasted almost 2 hours.
• After lunch with them temperature over 60, I biked my 2 1/4 miles routes around the park.
• This afternoon, Jim received some papers that needed his signature and returned to sender. The scan capability on his computer had never been used/tested. So 3 hours later I got the driver installed, the documents scanned, & returned to the original sender. But what a job.
• Late afternoon, I called Dave for an update on his family. He's still having back pain, but has an appointment at the VA to work the problem. Thanks Dave, for the update.
• This evening J&D are going to another park with the Sasse's to play Bingo. I'm going to a gospel show at the Hall entitled Kieth Ross Gospel Show. It was just so, so. It included 6 performers: Keith Ross, Jay & Tammy, Lafayette & Vada.
• And now for my pictures.
• Lots of people, mostly men, should know what this is a picture of & where it was taken & about the year it was taken.

• I'll give you the answer tomorrow.

• 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".
