THINGS TO DO IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY

I've just been working on my January Newspaper and we certainly have a few dances to look forward to in the park this season. 

 Plus there are all the dances that we usually look forward to outside the Park.  There are a couple of groups 

 (The Agency and the Cruisers)

that we like to follow, which we haven't been out to see yet.  

We did go out with friends last week to a bar called "Buchanans."  

Just a Country Western bar, but it did have a nice big dance floor and I did get to dance to a Jimmy Buffet tune.   


IT WAS A GOOD HAPPY HOUR!

DE-CLUTERING MY DESK

When we first bought this trailer I was so thrilled to have a desk where I could keep all my computer stuff that I used to keep on the table and had to move each time it was time to eat.  

But it didn't take long until I was running out of space there as well.  So Dan has made some adjustments for me.  He took the drawer unit that I bought for paper and other supplies and hung it under the desk.  Then made a shelf to raise my printer up off the desk  and allowed me to use that space under the printer to store the files I am working on.

I had it so cluttered that I was often knocking something off my desk while I was working.  The picture below may still look a little cluttered, but to me it is a 100% improvement.  I have room on the left for the files I'm working on and on the right I have enough room for my mouse and mouse pad.  It's great. 

ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE DAN.  

MY NEW CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

I got some new Christmas trees for may patio.  

These are ideal for us.  They are very Christmassy, quick and easy to assemble,  and fold down flat to store away in hardly any room at all.   

They can easily fit into one of our trailer compartments.   Which of course is everything you need when living in a trailer at Christmas time. 

These are the last Christmas decorations I will purchase. 

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS. 

NEW STAIRS FOR OUR TRAILER

So, here we go again with stairs.   It seems that RV manufacturers are no different than boat builders.  They want to save room so they make short steep stairways, which don't serve my short little arthritic legs very well. 

Dan and I already went through this and modified Dwight's trailer before he bought it.  In this trailer they made the 28 inch transition from the upper part of the trailer to the lower part with two very steep steps. 

So Dan and Dwight pulled them out and replaced them for me.  In the process they discovered that there was vinyl flooring under most of the carpet around the entrance door, so they were also able to remove all of that and give me a much larger vinyl area around the entrance.  

 

So now I have three very deep wide large sturdy steps to transition down.  Now all we need to add is a  good sturdy hand rail.  As the older we get the more we are going to need these safety features. . 

I am very, very pleased with the results.  

  THANKS GUYS.  A JOB WELL DONE
