OUR COMPANY HAS DEPARTED

We had one last dinner and evening together after two days of sight seeing in Mexico

 

 and at the Flea Market.  I think everyone had a good time.   

 

But now it was time that Rick and Carol and Mark had to head back to their condo at Lago Vista, North of Austin. 

 

 

Then all of us remaining Thacker family members had a relaxing Thursday resting up before the rest of our guests had to hit the road back to Florida. 

 

 

 

I know Sea-Enna is really going to miss her new buddy Blair. 

 

 

She has been in heaven, just loving all the attention and playing.

 

 

But all good things must come to an end and this morning the Honda van pulled out of the driveway

  

 

As we all waved our goodbyes and they headed back to Florida.

 

 

IT WAS A REALLY GREAT TIME

 

 

 

MY ANNUAL ST.PATRICK'S DAY PARTY

Besides our out of town guests we had a fairly good turn out at our annual St. Patrick's Day Party. 

 

 

The Thacker brothers had not been together for over 5 years.

 

 

New friends and old friends mingled together.

 

 

And the weather was much nicer than that scorcher we had last year. 

 

 

Even our bigger trailer gives a little more shade than last year.

 

 

 

All in all it was a very nice day. 

 

 

Deb & Kevin got to see what we are up to, here in Texas.

 

 

And Dan & Dwight had a great time to catch up with each other. 

 

 

This is our one big entertaining opportunity down here in Texas and we really enjoy it. 

 

 

Poor Sea-Enna was exhausted by the time the day was done. 

 

 

 

 

AND THIS IS ANOTHER THING WE LIKE ABOUT TEXAS

 

Thanks to my volunteer photographer Sharon for the great Pictures. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MARCH 17TH "LET'S GET READY TO STUMBLE"

Our guests have arrived, so let's PARTY 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FIRST WE HAVE THE PARADE

 

Waiting for the Parade to start. 

 

 

 

 

It consists of mostly decorated golf carts.

 

Blair scored big time on the candy they were throwing

A couple of puppy dog passengers

 

 

Some even wearing masks

 

Some motorcycles

 

Even our Red Hats Club had a "Float" 

 

Some just wore their green and walked along.

 

 

 

Even Sea-Enna's friend Zoey took part. 

 

This float really caught Sea-Enna's eye. 

 

That was the finale. 

 

 

 

THEN IT WAS ON TO MY ANNUAL PARTY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE PARTY WITH THE RENAISSANCE ROCKERS

The six of us that usually go dancing together went to the other Paradise Park in Pharr last night To see the Renaissance Rockers. 

There was a really good turn out, but the band wasn't as good as I had heard, but we had a good time anyway. 

Us fun seeking ladies and our three stooges. 

 

 

 

 

 

ANOTHER NIGHT OF DANCING IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY

 

WE NOW HAVE A GUEST HOUSE ALL SET UP

We have brought our smaller trailer back out of storage for our company.  That way we will have plenty of beds. 

 

 

Our 24.2 ft "Springdale" trailer will sleep 6 people,

 

Plus in our 33.5 ft "Terry" we also have room for 4 more overnight guests, plus us.  We have parked them kind of across from each other so that we will have our own little compound. 

 

 

 

IT SHOULD  BE FUN

 

 

 

TIME TO START PLANNING FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY

It's time to pull out all my St. Patrick's Day decorations and see what I have and decide what else I need. 

 

 

I have re-arranged things to create a nice big table, plus a neighbour has offered to loan us a folding table.  So I'll need a couple of green table cloths.

 

Then we have to count how much booze we have and figure out how much booze we need.  That includes my recipe for the house special "Irish Car Bombs". 



Then it's time to choose and plan the food trays and snacks. 

So, there is lots to do between now and Monday.  And there is a lot going on in the park this weekend as well.  So we are going to be busy. 



THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT TEXAS




 

GETTING AN AJOINING PATIO READY

Dan got busy  and has power washed th ajoining patio to us to get it ready for our Springdale trailer. 

 

Once the trailer is here, I will spread some of my furniture and plants onto this patio as well.
