3/1/18….. Today golf was canceled because of the weather so
later today I plan to head over to the pool, read a Jack Reacher novel and work
on my tan. It’s windy. That was our final excuse. Actually, it rained a bit
this morning. It is just as well because now I have a little time to write.
Life is very busy here at Palmdale what with cards, line dancing, happy hour, going to the beach and such. This year we’ve added yoga, golf and I have a volunteer position at
Ethel Whipple Library in Los Fresnos helping out with the ESL (English as a
Second Language) class. We have also been shopping for a mobile home (now
referred to as a manufactured home) to bring into Palmdale. At this point, that
whole project is at a standstill as our desired mobile home is too big for the
current configuration of our desired site. Other than that, we are both doing
well though I’m sick and tired of our friends being sick. Don keeps saying that
is how it is when you hang out with old people but really, enough is enough
already!
Sparky…. Sparky hasn’t had much energy lately to get into
trouble. We’ve also got him on the approved 6 foot leash which may be
curtailing some of his antics. His most recent escapade was when he attacked
the neighbor’s cat, Fluffy who was given a proper Christian burial but then for
some reason was exhumed and cremated. A new identical cat, Fluffy 2 has either
been resurrected or maybe it is just a litter mate of the original Fluffy. I
haven’t figured it out yet.

Highlights of our winter besides the sitting on the patio
enjoying a glass of wine and good jokes with our friends include a tour of the border patrol station and 2 parades. The
Los Fresnos Rodeo Parade on February 17th

and the Brownsville Charro
Days Parade on February 24. The Charro Days parade may still be continuing. We
were there for several hours in the wind and sunshine and finally left while it
was still going on with no end in sight. The most impressive thing about the
Charro Days floats is how well they stood up the 30 mph winds. These people
have had experience with wind I could tell.
