Saturday was another church day and dinner out! Sunday more of the same, shooting and mahjong. It rained on Monday and we did nothing! Tuesday dawned cloudy but not raining. It never warmed up much but Ted shot in the morning, I played mahjong (and won!) in the afternoon. Ted started consolidating all the stuff in the coach house that will go back in the cargo bays and then went to the grocery while I was gone. We stayed in for dinner.
Well it is now almost a week later and I probably can’t remember half of what went on. I do remember going to breakfast with our ladies’ group on Thursday.
I stopped at HEB on the way home. Ted and Steve were going to smoke ribs in Steve’s new pellet smoker. Patty had fallen after tripping and hurt her sternum. I said I would take care of the rest of the meal. I made rebaked potatoes, BBQ beans, cucumbers, green beans and crustless pumpkin pie (Patty cannot eat gluten).
Our Thursday mahjong got moved to Friday so the Bridge players can resume their play on their normal day so I had time to cook. Dinner turned out great. Ted has been wanting a pellet smoker so this was a good trial run for him.
Friday was mahjong followed by dinner for 7 of us at the fish restaurant. We closed the place down.
Saturday was laundry, church, eating at Moon BBQ, and our last BOGOF sundae at Stars before going back home to watch TV.
The sporting clay course opened Sunday for the guys to shoot since there was a skeet tournament at the Mission Skeet Club. It is about 20 miles to Edinburgh so he was gone longer than usual. I cleaned, worked on summer plans and went to mahjong just as Ted came home. I won a "closed" hand, only my second time to do that! We decided to save our defrosted chicken until Monday and went to BJs for dinner.
People have been asking about the present situation with the illegals, and believe me, they are coming by the thousands. Even our church hall has been turned into a processing center. The Border Patrol is so busy providing rides to be processed that the drug peddlers, sex traffickers, and coyotes know exactly how to avoid getting caught. At the processing center they are given clean clothes, an asylum claim court date (now at 2+ years out) food and a bus or plane ticket to where they want to go anywhere in the US. This is what Trump stopped with his "remain in Mexico until asylum date" that was done away with under Biden. They are being tested for covid and are told to social distance, then turn them loose. We have them being picked up by their "contact" here in our gated neighborhood. Many have cameras and there is film after film of them running through our neighborhood and getting picked up so the gate code needs to be changed. Ted said Abbott has called for the National Guard. I will learn more about this week.
