- Another nice morning, high, broken clouds, calm, warm starlit, temp: 62, high: 78.
- Had a nice pancake breakfast consisting of Biscuits & Gravy at the Hall with the whole tribe.
- Biked 2 1/2 miles over through The Plantation about mid morning.
- Late morning Beth cut Jim's hair in the driveway (see picture below). Later Amy wanted to be in the blog, so we took a "selfie".
- Lunch was a celebrations lunch for Dan & Candy's 28th wedding anniversary at the Crab Schack.
- Then we drove directly for there to Don-Wes flea market where we spent most of the afternoon.
- Late afternoon, we left for Pharr South for supper, followed by Bingo.
- While playing Bingo, Jim got a call from a Paradise resident re some problem. Jim asked me to go see her in case it was an emergency. Her stove oven pilot had gone out for whatever reason. After talking to Jim on the phone, we decided he could fix it after Bingo.
- Really busy day.
- Pleasant morning, high clouds, calm, moonlit, warm, temp: 63, high: 79.
- With weather nearing perfection, I biked around The Plantation for 3 1/2 miles this morning.
- After lunch at the Hall, attended the first half of the afternoon jam. After they started taking volunteers, I left as the quality fell dramatically.
- Had a nice afternoon nap.
- Tonight's entertainment is a country singer, J.C.Harrison. 'Fraid I may not like his show. But I always have a "wait and see" attitude. More later. After more research, entertainer was mostly "country" & "cowboy" music. So I stayed home.
- Today I have a couple of baby pictures for you. Can you guess who's who?
- Moonlit morning, cool, clear, calm, thin fog, temp: 53, high: 83.
- This morning we have the Minnesota Breakfast at the nearby Tierra del Sol golf course clubhouse. Only had 19 this time.
- From the clubhouse we drove over to The Zone to play Tuesday morning Miniature Golf.
- Also this morning, Kathy sent me a link on how to spot the International Space Station (ISS). Unfortunately it's not visible here in South Texas until the 22nd. But I signed up for electronic alerts so I won't forget. Thanks, Kath.
- With another perfect afternoon, I biked again over to The Plantation streets for 2 1/2 miles.
- Candy's Mom, Irene, isn't up to attending some season tickets to McAllen concert series. So she gave me the ticket as she knows I love classical music. Tonight the show is Susan Egan who sings a variety of Broadway show songs. Should be great as I love show songs. It was an excellent show. Very entertaining. Very professional young woman. Beautiful voice. Well trained.
- No picture(s) tonight, but I'll get on it tomorrow morning. Sorry. ;-(
- The pictures from yesterday are:
- Left: Roger & Gary
- Right: Gary
- But I'm not sure of the year of the picture. I guessed that I was about 5 and Gary was about 3. But we could be a year older than that even. As children, we were both small for our ages.
- Absolutely clear sky, moonlit, light breeze, nice morning, temp: 59, high: 81.
- Had our regular Monday breakfast at Taco Fiesta with our Canadian friends, but only had 5 this morning. Since Jim had a 9:30 PT appointment, he missed the breakfast.
- Such a nice morning today, temp: 71, calm, sunny, I changed my complete biking routine.
- I went in the morning rather than the afternoon.
- I biked all around the adjoining housing development & golf course called The Plantation & Tierra del Sol.
- I biked a mile further than previous, over 3 miles.
- But it was a good trip and more relaxing with the change in the variety of surroundings.
- After lunch, Jim went to a polka jam with some guys.
- Mid afternoon, I was to set up chair for the evening's amateur talent show, but the chairman just came by and said someone else had done it. That's okay.
- Mid afternoon, temp is 83, sunny, with a light breeze. Nice!
- Tonight we had our Amateur Talent show consisting of everything from instrumentalists to vocalists to dancers to poets to cowboys to bands. The Hall was completely filled using every chair that we own and then some. I'd guess 300 or more in the audience. All had a good time.
- Late this evening I called Kath & later Dan. I got caught up on family news and had a nice conversation with each. Thanks, Kath. Thanks, Dan.
- Finally, tonight I have some more pictures for you to guess who they are. As with many of these, they were taken at our tenant house on Grandpa Coulter's farm near Delavan. These you should guess right off as they're beginning to look more like their adult features. I'm guessing these pictures were taken in about 1944. Anyway, have fun.
