Keep Your Cold Up North!









The cold weather has arrived here. It is supposed to only be in the 30’s or maybe around 40 today. I will make a pot of chili in the crockpot again and some biscuits in the oven. I do have line dancing this afternoon, so that will get me out of the 5th wheel for a couple hours! We won’t see warmer temps until Sunday, although sunshine will return tomorrow.

I continue to do lot of reading and genealogy work on days when the weather is cool and rainy. I just finished “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls, which I enjoyed very much and have started “The Power of One” by Bryce Courtenay. Two more Dan Brown books also await me! In genealogy, I have been given an assignment by Curt’s sister Vicky – a branch of their family came to Brownsville, Texas around 1920 and I am looking up obituaries and we will trek to the cemetery there for photos when the weather is nice.

Having played Joker quite a few times, we are learning it pretty well – although we still need advice sometimes on how to play that Joker! It can get complicated, especially when we have more players at the table.

I can't decide whether I am happy or unhappy that Texas lost last night. It would have made us look even better if they had won (and when we beat them next year!) Too bad Colt McCoy got injured though - if they were going to get beat it would have been better for them to be at 100%! Did anyone notice how many times they mentioned Nebraska during the broadcast?

I had some more pictures of the flea market that I wanted to post so will do that today. We go there often because we always need something from the farmers’ market and then we usually walk across the street to the flea market. There is entertainment on the stage and lots of old junk and new merchandise to peruse – not to mention a variety of food that is bad for you including: kettle corn, mini donuts,(my personal weakness), awesome blossoms, ice cream and much more!
