Last Week, Mixed Feelings

Nothing much happened Monday, we fielded a few calls on the motorhome and have finally heard from a few legitimately interested in purchasing an RV.  Since we are getting ready to move, we are holding back a bit so we can get home, empty and clean it before having lookers.  

Marisa and I had our annual girls’ day out Tuesday, getting our facials.  I also had some waxing done!  These hormone therapy pills are playing havoc with all kinds of things.  She did a great job and I really could see a difference in my skin.

Then we took Steve and Patty, who are parked next to us, to Texas de Brazil steakhouse as a thank you for the meals Steve has cooked in his smoker and shared, the checking to be sure our water and electric were  turned on and sharing their Wi-Fi password with us until we got our communication problems squared away.  I wasn’t sure I would ever be hungry again!  It was all so very good.

Our last (possibly forever) Newmar luncheon was Wednesday.  I don’t know if there was some kind of Hispanic holiday or celebration but Golden Corral was full!  And then a mariachi band came in and played.  We saw Paul and Ruth (old HitchHiker friends) again but didn’t get a chance to say goodbye.  Ted went to find the busboy that took care of our group in the private room and then we did not see them. Ted was shooting at 2:00 and was in a hurry to get home.  I did laundry and read my book.

Thursday, despite what has happened in Matamoros, we went to Progreso to finish up our shopping.  The US side parking lot was full.  The streets were crowded with winter Texans and no one seemed too concerned about what happened 85 miles away in Matamoros.  We have NEVER in 15 years, crossed into Matamoros or Reynosa, they have been considered dangerous for as long as I can remember.  They are big cities with major roads from the interior of Mexico coming in.  Progreso is a 3 block little village of restaurants, souvenir shops, pharmacies and dentists.  I know of only two incidents in all these years happening there and neither involved US citizens.  Ted had his pedicure, I bought what I needed and home we came.

Kelly and CeCe flew to Florida to visit Kristin and the three of them headed to Disney the very next day.  They were there bright and early on Thursday.  It was a “do over” for our August Covid escapade last year.

Upon arrival in the FL sun!


On our way to Disney World,

Sporting my Minnie ears.

Friday 

Best way to visit the Hall of Presidents.  Comfortable chairs, AC, dark, enough time to catch a few winks! 


Friday was back to Disney starting with breakfast at Topolina’s



She had a ball with Grammie and Auntie Kristin fawning all over her.
