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. 



 

SATURDAY NIGHT DANCING

Last night we went to Sharon and Casey's Park to go dancing.  "The Agency" was playing at their "Siesta Village"  and that is one of our favourite bands. 

Sharon and Casey were the coordinators for this event, so they got tickets for the six of us, that usually go dancing together, and off we went. 

We were greeted at the door by "Tex Maslow", who was working the door, at the time. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a very enthusiastic crowd, and a crowded dance floor, which always adds to the fun. 

We all had a really good time, as we always do when we go to see this band. 

 

It was another GREAT night of Dancing with "The Agency." 

 

 

"Thanks Guys", we really enjoyed it. 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

AND THAT'S THE WAY WE ROLL DOWN HERE IN TEXAS

 

 

 

MY PLANTS HAVE SURE TAKEN A BEATING THIS YEAR

It has been really hard on my plants with these extreme swings in temperatures that we have had this year.  Poor Dan, has had to put them in and out of the shed a few times, with threats of frost. 

We actually only got frost once, but these are tropical type plants and they don't take kindly to this cold weather even if it doesn't freeze.  So I keep on having to trim the browned edges off of them. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think I am going to look for artificial plants for my patio for next year.  That is, if I can find some realistic looking ones.  Then I wont have to replace them each year, but for now I will trim and spruce these ones up as best I can for the rest of this year. 

 

THIS IS NOW ONE OF THE THINGS I DON'T LIKE ABOUT TEXAS
