Texas Again




We are still in Texas. We went to Progresso, Mexico again yesterday. Drank toooooooo many margaritas. Had to come home and take a long nap. Today it was rainy so we decided to do a museum. Went to The Museum of South Texas. There was a festival going on with people weaving cloth, working with leather, cooking on wood fires and stuff like that. It was really neat.
We will be going to Padre Island on Monday or Tuesday to check out some camping spots.
A couple moved in across the road from us yesterday. So weird they are from Mannford also and Lyn knew the lady from water aerobics. Small world.
We will check in later.
Happy birthday to Jessica. She is now 11. Madisen will have a Birthday next week and will be 14 ! I am not old enough to have a granddaughter that old!

Still in Texas



We are still in Texas. We may not be here long if Maggie doesn't quit crapping in other peoples yards. We got written up today. Two more times and we will get kicked out of the park.
We went to Progresso, Mexico on Saturday. We had a good time and are planning on going back again. One of the borders was closed today because of problems in Mexico. We had already been warned not to go to that town. We may not go for a few days.
We will probably go play golf tomorrow. It is supposed to be 90 degrees . The last two days have been only in th 70's and rainy. It is supposed to be nice for the next week.

Southern Texas

Well, we are in way Southern Texas. In a town called Donna. It is 20 miles west of Harlington. The RV park we are at is huge. We went to the pool today and did our aerobics. I think we will go to Mexico tomorrow and see if we can get cheap prescriptions.
We stayed at a really neat RV park last night. It was on a bay. There was a really long fishing pier.
Will catch up later.

In Texas




We are in Texas now. We just got home from visiting with my 2nd cousin and 3rd cousin. Lloyd told us he is now 83 years old. We have so much in common. He and his wife are both retired school teachers. They lost their house and almost all of their belongings in the hurricane (Ike) last September. They are renting a house now. Their daughter also lost her house, luckly she will be able to put hers back together and hopefully be back in within 4 months.
We will leave the Houston area probably on Wednesday headed for Southern Texas. Hope it will be warm there.

Who's That Guy Next to Jim?


Yep, that's Big Daddy Don Garlits! Went through his drag racing museum last year. It was so good I did again this year. What a thrill to meet and talk with him. He was the keynote speaker at the Ford Troubleshooting contest in Washington D.C. When I attened with my two 1st. in State winners back in 1996. His speech was way motivating for all the instructors and students from all 50 states! To bad schools don't have shop class like Big Daddy attended back in the day. I think it would keep kids fired up to stay in school. So, I guess they will continue to teach a test on theory so to improve each years test scores. All ,with no hands on training because of the cost and time necessary to prepare kids for college.

Us Again In Florida


We are here in Lakeland, Florida. We went to the dentist and the dermatologist yesterday. I finished the 3 crowns on my teeth. Doing good! I saw a spot on my shoulder that wouldn't go away so I also saw a dermatologist. She did a biopsy on three places. I will get the results in 2-3 weeks. We should be in Texas by then. If something needs to be done we will head home.
We are going to Ocala tomorrow to the Drag Racing Museum. Lyn won't go again but I will and enjoy every minute.
We will head to Texas on Saturday. We are planning on going to New Orleans on the way.

Snow Bird Up Date




Well, its been about a month since Kim and Lyn got me going on mt first Blog. So, thanks to them and a new lap top I can craft my 2nd Blog.

The plan was to win at the Craps table and Lyn's game: Slots on the way to Ft. Lauder Dale, Florida and to use that money as seeds to grow in the Casino located on the 3rd floor of the Cruise Ship. Between the two of us or seed money was a down about what we would have spent on four green fees with golf cart. Lyn broke even on here gambling on the Cruise ship, I quit trying after three nights of losing what I call the Highway Patrol effect. That's the amount of money that would cause me to get tight in the rectal area. It was a ten day cruise and we had a lot fun. Lots of a old time rock and roll played by Asian guys who could not speak English. We danced worked out in the front of the ship.
