Wow, another month is just about gone. It seems like this month went by really fast. Usually I'm ready to get on the road after about three weeks but we've been content here and we've been here for 7 1/2 weeks now. The weather has been beautiful. Our highs for Nov have been averaging high 70's to low 80's and sun most of the time.
Nancy and Bob made it safely into town on Wed and they are staying near us (about 3/10s of a mile away.) They will be visiting for a month before heading on down the road.
We had a great Thanksgiving. We went to dinner with Nancy and Bob..The main dish was less than we expected but the rest of the food was good.
We don't have any plans made yet for next week but I'm sure we'll find something to do.

It's me again
I posted last week but there was a glitch or something and my site went down for a few days and when it came back up my post was gone so since I don't remember what I said those words of wisdom are lost. I will have to try again now..The last few weeks have gotten busy here. We're busy with golf (Reid) and I'm volunteering at the rec center a couple times a week.
We tried a new restaurant this week Tony Romo's. Ribs, they were most excellent..We're big fans of Famous Dave's for ribs but since the closest one is in El Paso and that's a 2 day or longer drive we had to find a place closer. I'm not saying they beat FD's but they were very good and we'll go back for our rib fix.
What's up with the weather down here. The high yesterday was 49. That may not be offical but that's what our reading was here. It was also windy making it feel cold. today was better, high 60's and sunny but we'd really like 70's wouldn't we.
We have friends arriving on Wed. We'll be do Thanksgiving at Luby's. That will be fun. You have to be ready for a nice time out and not be in any hurry cause it will be crowded.
I guess that's it so lets see if this will save and show up

What's going on in Mission
The park's winter activities started this week so I guess winter texans season has begun. The Grill opened up on Monday so we checked it out on Tues. It offers burgers and hot dogs and I had a BLT. Then Wed was shrimp basket special at Eric's so we had to go, it was on special.
On Thurs we went down to the Rec Center for the monthly business meeting. We wanted to find out what's been going on since we left. We hadn't missed anything... Friday was the pancake breakfast. We decided to go but it's a little too early in the morning for me to do it too often. I volunteered to work in the rec office two hours on Wednesday so that will give me something to fill my week besides my walking and bike riding. The park is having 3 craft shows for this winter so I'll probally work them too. So you can see it's getting busy around here. Most of our neighbors are here except for Linda and Jim..(your plant is still blooming)
Wilma and George are close and Nancy and Bob are not far behind them so maybe I'll have some interesting story to tell about them soon.

A new month
We spent a quiet halloween with no trick or treaters. We took Lady around the park in the golf cart and that was the highlight of our night. We hung around the park most of the week with a trip to the vet on Tues. (another ear infection) and then a trip to get groceries and out for lunch on Thurs. We tried another Mexican place and it was ok but we still haven't found the perfect one yet but we'll keep trying. We are seeing an increase in traffic in the area and our park is about 2/3 full now. Several rigs have come in just over the weekend. I noticed some activities posted at the rec center so events are starting up.
Reid is doing the cooking tonight. Our weather has been great mid 80's for highs and mid 60's for lows. That's about it for this post. I'll try to do something fun next week so I can tell you guys about it.
