Pictures

Seems like we don't have lots to tell. We aren't doing much sight seeing this year since we've pretty much done all of that in past years. When we leave here, we are going to visit the Texas Hill Country and there will be more to show and tell. We are planning on leaving here on March 7th and were making plans to get together with Sticks and Nilia & Kenny somewhere between their homes. Nilia is having more heart surgery on the 7th so won't be able to travel. Prayers for her please.

I'm going to add some pictures with some of what we've been doing.
Well I haven't figured out how to put the pictures where I want them, but bear with me. This is my $5 produce purchase. There's 1 more sweet potato that is not showing and there was 2 more tomatillas. I traded Brenda for some peppers that she bought so we could make a sauce the young Hispanic man at the produce market told us all about. He even offered to go home with Brenda to make it for her. LOL The avocados weren't really that black. They were very ripe but perfect for the "not dumb salad" that Marcy found on Pinterest. The prices on produce still amaze me. We should lose lots of weight here, but doesn't happen. We eat all the healthy stuff (well Dennis not so much) but we also eat all the junk. Ice cream jumps out at us often and the fact that the banana splits are $2 on Saturday instead of $1 hasn't seemed to slow us down much.

You will have to click on this picture to see the dentist prices listed (at least I have to) I don't think the locals go to the dentist, but all the Winter Texans go to Progresso to have their dental work done. I keep thinking I will, but haven't yet.

This is the baked potato from Willie's BBQ. It really is bigger than it looks and it is delicious. Don't think I've ever made it completely through it but give it a good try.

This is another 1 that you might need to click on to see. It is an aloe vera field. We didn't know they bloomed and had NO idea that they grew them in fields.

This is what I've done in my spare time since I've been here. Can't believe I got the whole thing done in 6 weeks. It has been donated to "Betty's babies". Betty was the woman in charge of the craft room in the park for 28 years. Her and her husband are moving this weekend to Arizona to be with their daughter. She started donating to the babies at Mission Hospital all those years ago. Our park has made so many baby hats for the newborns that they finally told us they wouldn't need any for a few years. We only do hats now if there is a blanket or sweater to go with it. I've started a new to me hobby Crohook. It's kinda of like crocheting but not really. Still not for sure I like it and won't be able to do it around people since the hook is 2 foot long and I tend to stab people.

This is what Dennis does in his spare time when he can find a place to sing. This is at our park jam. He is sounding pretty good. We went to a karaoke place last Thurs. and stayed out til 11pm (and there were still streets when we came home, they had NOT rolled them up lol). He sang 3 times that night. About 50% of the songs were Spanish. Even when you can't understand the words, you can tell if people can or can't sing. He's going across the street this afternoon to sing at a karaoke session.Didn't take long for him to get back to liking the stage.  He also has been playing pool and once in awhile playing Texas Holdem.
