The last part of the month has gone fairly slow. The weather has been nice one day and either cold, windy or cloudy the next. Today was wind gust over 40 miles an hour. It was a good day to stay inside and catch up on blogging. The park activities are still going full force. I've really enjoyed line dancing and have tried a few dances at our Saturday night dances.
A few people have started to leave for the winter. Most of them will leave between now and Easter.
My plans for next week is going to Ropa. I've never been and they say it's a must see and my Bible Study class is going to tour His Hand Ministries. I'll know more about it after the tour but I know part of it has a food bank that provides food for the people of Penitas, TX. The park has done some food drives to help out and some of our Ladies in our study group volunteer there so we thought it would be fun to tour it.
Now your caught up on my Feb. I'll try to do better about keeping you informed. We'll be hanging around here for another month (give or take) and then heading north through Houston and then on to the Gulf Coast for a few weeks.

First half of Feb (Feb 28)
Once we said our goodbyes to Gary and Marge (they were heading to AZ when they left here) we had more company heading our way.
Mom arrived on Feb 2 for her two week visit. We picked her up at the airport and stopped at her favorite restaurant on the way home. I'm so lucky that her favorite place (Red Lobster) is also mine.
The next 12 days was filled with partys and events. Our street host Happy Hour at a differt place each week so I was hosting on the 5th. What fun we had, about 50 people show up. It was a great turn out. We had about three other partys that week and we attended Bible Study on Thurs together and did breakfast one morning. (we not only ate we helped get the food ready..) that was an early morning.
Some days the weather wasn't good so Mom sat in the casita with Reid and read books, watched tv, movies and some golf while I did my walking, riding, line dancing, office work and other stuff that Mom didn't want to do with me. But it worked out great she got to spend time with me doing the "fun stuff" and with Reid (her son) doing what he liked to do. (golf and movies)
We tried a couple of restaurants when she was here and yes, I cook some too. We had a great two week and we were so glad she was able to visit. We're already talking about next yrs visit.

what happened in Jan. Feb 28
I did it again! I let too much time pass between post so here are some updates. Ok, it really didn't warm up..we've had a very cold winter by south Texas standards. The propane companies here have enjoyed this season.
Our friends Gary and Marge arrived in the valley Jan 20th. We grilled out with them, G&W and Jo & Steve the following Sat and we were happy to see nice weather that day. We had a fun afternoon catching up with different adventures we've had since last being together. As it turned out Gary, Jo and Reid all had birthdays around that week so we had cake with candles for them.
I was taking Reid out for his birthday the following Thurs and Cracker Barrel was the place he choose. Phyllis, Larry, Dan and Rita didn't have any plans so they went along with us as long as we didn't call it a birthday party. Reid doesn't do birthday parties.
We decided to visit the flea market on Sat Jan 30 since Gary and Marge hadn't been before. We couldn't have picked a colder day. It was windy and just plain cold. Later, not ready to call it a day we went to Luby's for lunch and a place to get out of the weather and visit.
We had a great time with so many "E" members being here for a few weeks together.
