Almost the end of the week

At almost the end of the week and I haven't put anything on the blog for a few days...I know that I am slipping up by not putting down something, but when nothing too exciting happening it's kind of hard...I have been playing pool almost every day at one park or the other, so at least that's happening...Marilyn has played cards on a couple of days...It's been raining every so often and it's kind of keeping us some what contained, but that's alright cause it's been dry for so long it's nice being wet....HA HA...Don Howard and I have been playing pool in the evening up at the little hall also...The other night I slipped on a slick spot stepping over a water puddle and fell...I didn't get too hurt (just my pride mostly) but have been kind of sore for the last few days....Of course my joints are kind of sore due to the change in weather...Most of the residents in the park are complaining of soreness due to the weather, so I'm not the only one....Oh well.....

Busy Weekend

I have been kind of busy having fun this weekend...I have gone bird hunting the last two days in the afternoon and am finding out that I am out of practice shooting...I shot a lot of shells, got a lot birds but missed more than I should have for sure...I had a lot of fun though...One of my friends from Weslaco takes me every year bird hunting and I sure enjoy it...When we first started, he would take me places where I didn't even know where I was for sure...He knows all the back roads and can get me lost very quickly...I am finally getting my bearings after a couple of years riding in the truck...We didn't limit out on either day but came close....Marilyn played cards this afternoon so that left me free to go...We got rained on a little bit today but not enough to quit hunting...Yesterday it sprinkled on us, but when we drove home thru Weslaco a lot of the streets were flooded and blocked off....I couldn't believe how much water was standing around....We had two inches of rain at our house in a short time...Marilyn was getting worried about me she said cause of the rain...I told her that we didn't even get wet and we weren't setting in the truck...That just shows how much the weather varies down here in deep south Texas....

Wal-Mart Day

HA HA As usual Friday is Wal-Mart day around here so we can go before the BIG crowd on the week end hits....We did go out for a fancy breakfast at Whataburger this morning before shopping....Marilyn thinks that is a real treat....I am so lucky....We also went over to Mercedes to the Outlet mall...We had been told that there was a new Croc's shoe store there that had the shoes that I like at a good price....I was able to get two pair for the same price that I usually pay for one...How great was that????...Then on to Wal-mart for grocery shopping and on home....It got too hot to do much else for the rest of the afternoon so the TV and computer were busy....What an exciting happening....Well it doesn't take too much when you get our age...HA HA..It's all good any way....

Here comes the heat again

Well this week so far it's been quite hot and muggy...All the moisture that we have had recently is in the air and ground is now combined with the temperature becoming HOT again...I guess we are never satisfied as we are always wanting something different than what we have...I guess that's just part of life for us old folk....This evening we got another small shower but it didn't amount to much, just made things humid...At least it cooled the air down....

I have been playing pool the last couple of days with my old bud Don Howard and I going to other parks that have air conditioned pool halls....Marilyn and the card players played Tuesday afternoon in the little hall...While they were there the air conditioner quit cooling and she said that it got hot in the room very quickly....The motor was running but for some reason it wasn't cooling at all....She said that she wasn't going to play cards again until they fixed it or it got cool weather...I don't blame her at all....We will just have to wait and see how long it takes to fix it... Other than that all's well in Magnolia.....

Sunday

The weekend is almost over and I don't know just where it went...We didn't do any thing Saturday special, but today (Sunday) we did go to Bible Study at the little hall...We were a small group but that's OK for now, it will get bigger soon with more folks coming in later this month and next...We did go for breakfast after Bible Study at Sevilla's in Weslaco where we met Jim and Margret...It was a little crowded this morning as a lot of other folks wanted to get out for breakfast also...It was still good as usual though....This afternoon we went for out usual exercise riding in the golf cart ( don't laugh it's fun ) and we got to talk to several folks who were out enjoying the evening air...It was a little warmer today and we didn't get any rain, but the grass is growing like mad....Well wasn't that exciting to hear....HA HA...

Nothing Too New Here

With not too many people in the park there isn't to much going on for us to do except for Marilyn playing cards some afternoons and I going to play pool(and of course going to Wal-mart to check things out) life's just watching the rain that we have so desperately needed fall...It is just nice to watch the birds fly around and splash in the puddles to clean their feathers...It's almost comical to watch...Well it won't be long before the NORTHERN family will be coming in and stir things up for the winter...Things will be going then and I may wish for a little quite time once in a while...I guess we're never satisfied...OH well...

Tuesday Play

Well I went to coffee up and the hall this morning to listen to the latest news that everyone had heard...I forgot to count the number that were there so I could put it on the blog, but that's ok, just let everyone up north wonder how many they are missing...HA HA..After coffee, I went home and Marilyn had my breakfast done and I was ready...I didn't eat a donut up at coffee just waiting for my breakfast....Afterward we had to go the Wal-mart because it had been several days since we had gone and they might have moved something...Of course we did need some stuff also so it's all good....This afternoon I and my old bud Don Howard did go over to Siesta Village and play pool while Marilyn played cards, so it did work out after all...Life's good, what more can I ask for!!..

Feeling Better

I finally feel like writing again so I will get to it...I have been kind of off track the last couple of days....Saturday night and most of Sunday I couldn't stay out of the bathroom or at least not to far from it if you know what I mean..I really didn't' feel too bad but just had a "bug" it seems...OH Well I am over it now and am ready to get on with life...I am tired of being couped up in the house and ready to get out and do something...I guess I will have to go play pool tomorrow while Marilyn plays cards in the afternoon...HA HA That way both of us have something to do outside of the house...Well as I said nothing exciting to report on so will sign off for now...

Finally got caught up...

I suppose I would kind of get caught up on more stuff if I didn't go play pool almost every day , but of course I wouldn't have as much fun either....I did take today off of pool and did some things that needed to be done....I managed to take Marilyn to Wal-mart after I took her out for lunch at Daisy's 2 up north Texas street...She said that it was one of the best meals that we have had for quite a while...Once in a while she really gets hungry for some good Mexican food and so do I...I would say that is a great day in deep south Texas when it is only about 95 and you have a great meal and your wife doesn't have to cook and is happy.....

It can rain

It sure is nice to be able to see some rain in the valley again...We did get to see some when we were in Florida, but of course it isn't the same as getting it here...I know that the air is a lot cleaner and I didn't' mind the car getting dirty from the roads...

I have been able to go play pool over the last couple of days...My old bud Don Howard and I went to Siesta Village today..We had quite a group today and as always it was fun...I know that I need to get some computer work done one of these days...I have some new software that my brother-in-law in Florida got for me...We did some HORSE TRADING while we were there on computer stuff...I have yet to send him what I traded to him as I just have been lazy and haven't gotten it all ready...Almost though just waiting on one thing to come in so I can send every thing all at once....
