Another Week gone By

This week has been quite an experience for me and quite varied to say the least....It all started off great with the usual Wal-mart tours and pool playing and then Wednesday night I came down with something...I never felt real bad but I didn't feel to chipper either...I stayed pretty close to the bathroom for a couple of days...On the second day I felt a lot better but didn't do any thing just to be sure...I tried to be a good boy and stay away from every one as much as possible...When I did feel better the boys ask me to go bird hunting so I went and enjoyed the fresh air just to get away....I kind of set off to my self for the first time just to be sure and give them some space in case I would maybe give them something but I felt great for an old fat boy again...We didn't get a lot of birds but it was nice to go and enjoy the out doors while I can...The first season of bird hunting was over today (Sunday) and we didn't go , but we have thoughts of maybe trying to get out the second season some time the latter part of December...The only thing is it probably will be cold then and I am kind of chicken when it gets too cold anymore..HA HA...OH well it's all good anyway...

Update

This week we have again been kind of busy...I am sure glad that I don't have to go to work each day as I wouldn't have time for it...Entirely too much going on for some one to have a job to go to...HA HA...Last Monday I went to the business meeting for the park in the morning and played pool in the afternoon at another park.....Tuesday morning we went for breakfast with several people from the park and played pool in the afternoon here at the park...Wednesday afternoon we went to listen Diego up at the big hall and we sure enjoyed it...Thursday afternoon we went out with several from the park to eat at Golden Corral...It sure seems like we always have some place to go eat...At least that way Marilyn doesn't have to cook as much....She kind of likes that once in a while and it gives her a break, so all's good....Friday morning of course we must do the Wal-mart tour and pool again up at the hall in the park....This morning of course we went to church at Magnolia where we really enjoyed the service...We got to see several people that came in over the last week and catch up on the news....We then went to breakfast at Sivell's with a group from the two parks and on to Wal-mart for some items that were needed....Oh how exciting our lives have become...It some times makes you think we are in a rut, but isn't it great that we can have fun and enjoy ourselves doing it...Life's good...NO Life's great.....

Sunday Again???

I can't hardly believe that it's Sunday already...This week has just flown by...I would think that we have been busy and I guess we have in a way....We have had several friends come in from up NORTH and have spent some time with them...In addition to playing POOL several days and going to Wal-mart and doing some work around house (the weather has been just great) the time just goes by...I did go to one of my Doctors last Wednesday for a check up and he did some tests and informed me that I was cancer free as it had been 5 years since my surgery and radiation treatments and nothing has shown up in test....I am still quite excited about that report so just please forgive me for being late in blogging...This is the same Doctor that told me" I will see you in 6 months and stay away from Doctors in the mean time"....Well he gave me the same prescription again so it must work...

Oh I meant to write that I was able to go bird hunting for a couple of times this week also...On the first time wasn't so good as we went to a new place and it was none to good..Not many birds, just got a few...But on the second time we went to another new place and did a lot better, didn't limit out but could have if we didn't miss so many...HA HA...Oh well that's part of the fun..I guess when it is all summed up I was kind of busy all week....I love it...Life's good for this old fat boy...

Update

Today was a great day as the weather was nice, a little humid but the temperature was not bad...Of course the day started out with Church Service over at Magnolia Park with the so far small group , but that will soon change as the season goes on...Afterwards we went to breakfast at Sevilla's in Weslaco where we met Jim and Margret Vargason...We almost have a standing appointment for every Sunday morning...Not too bad a deal as we have to have breakfast some where and this way Marilyn doesn't have to cook...What a deal...HUH...Afterwards we dropped in at Don-West flea market to see if many vendors where in...I got to see several that I know and to say HI....Of course we had to also go to WAl-mart for the usual pick up of various items needed....It seems like we never remember to get everything at one time...That means we have to go back another time to make up the rest of the stuff....It makes for an interesting time any way and you get to see and talk to people along the way...

Last Thursday I went and have shots in both my knees as I have had swelling and soreness for some time...I put it off as long as I could but thought it was time...They are a lot better now..It is really nice that the medicine now is at times a magical worker for sickness and pain....

Music Day

This afternoon I went up and listened to Diego up at the hall for a while...The crowd is slowly growing as the Northern people come in...There seems to be one or two or more every day now coming in....Most of them we don't even know yet but that will come in time I hope...It is kind of hard over here at Siesta in one way as there is so many more people, and I always have a hard time remembering names...It just takes me longer and they keep adding more before I even catch on to the ones that are here....At least I do know most of the pool players imagine that...Marilyn is getting kind of lined up for some card playing in the future so that's good...I sure need to get some more of my work done, cause later I won't have time for sure....The weather is sure good now and this is the time to strike before the real busy season....Oh who am I kidding, what gets done will get done and that's it...

Nice Weather Again

The weather has turned from hot to real nice and it's a welcome change for sure...I have been trying to do some outside work done in the last few days, so have been kind of busy(at least for me)...The siding needs to be washed and the dust to be gone...I just do a section at a time and then stop...All this is hard work for an old fat boy....HA HA...Between going to Wal-mart, playing pool, and going out to eat once in a while the time just flies by...I got a good break Sunday when we went to church over at Magnolia...We sure enjoy attending the service and the fellowship there...I think we will always feel that we are still part of the Magnolia family...

Today I just did some running around for some parts that were needed to fix the power washer and pricing some paint for a couple of projects...This afternoon we went up to the hall for pot luck supper, and Marilyn and I both ate too much...There was too much sweets to be had as usual so they are hard to resist...Oh well life's so good if you just keep smiling...
