- Light breeze, cloudy, warm, temp: 66, high: 76.
- Early, Jim & Diane drove up to McAllen to see the PT doctor for a wrap-up on the physical therapy and to get any ongoing instructions.
- While Jim & Diane went to the doctor and in the cool calm of the morning, I did my daily 3 mile bike ride around the park.
- After Jim & Diane got home, Phil, Jim & I departed for the Livestock Show in Mercedes, TX, about 25 miles East of us.
- Livestock show had lots of cattle, pigs, some goats & sheep. It includes some current and some antique machinery. See pictures below.
- D&C and J&D and I had supper at Wendy's as we're in the process of packing the house for the trip on Thursday.
- After supper, J&D joined D&C for the last evening of cards as we'll need to go to bed early tomorrow night as we plan on leaving Thursday morning at about 3 AM.
- Will be meeting Dave at Jim's between 1 & 4 Friday afternoon and back at RidgePointe by 5 or 6 PM depending on Dave's schedule.
- And tonight I have lots of pictures taken at the Livestock show in Mercedes, TX. Most were taken on "machinery hill". Enjoy!
- Cool, calm, clear, starlit morning, temp: 46, high: 81.
- Today I have a question for our Minnesota readers. "Why does 46 degrees feel so cool to us Winter Texans, but feels so warm to you Minnesota readers." Is it because our blood gets thin when we're down here for an extended period of time?
- Jim's arm is getting sorer, so this morning at 8 o'clock, he has an appointment with the doctor who will be calling the Minnesota surgeon to assess what to do next.
- Jim came home with his sling off. The consensus was that he'd heal best without the sling. While his arm is weak, he's sure glad to be without that sling.
- In fact, he felt so good that he wanted to go play Mini golf when we got home. So J&D, D&C, and I played this morning at the Zone Action Park. Candy won with 5 hole in ones.
- After golfing, we all came home for a nap
- Later I went for my 2 mile bike ride; temp: 81 at 2PM
- Then Ruth had asked Jim to mount a new outside light for her. As his arm is still weak, I did the physical mounting taking detail directions from Jim.
- Beautiful day today. Bright sun, completely clear sky, calm, temp reached 83. Sure felt good.
- Below are some beautiful scenic pictures taken by Dan & Dawn as they toured Lake Tahoe with Mike & Mary. Thanks Dan, for sending those great shots.
