Feb

Well here it is Feb. already and its still cold up north. Lois & I and some friends we made down here in Texas went to SPI yesterday to watch the Kites fly. They had kites up to as much as $5000 flying. It was something to see. Then we went to lunch right on the bay. After lunch we decided to go back the back way through small towns and all. Last nite Charlie got tickets for a comedy show over at a golf course we play at.
A week ago we went to a WW11 display about a Island. Iwo Jimo Memorial is the original monument that was built back in 1954. The flag was raised on Iwo Jimo on Feb. 23 1945. In 1981 the monument was moved from Washington DC to Harlingen TX.
Sunday there was about 14 of us that went over to Mission TX to a place call Pepee's on the River. Its a restaurant that sits on the river with bands playing all day long for your dancing pleasure.
On Monday with have a luncheon with the Hitchhikers people in McAllen TX and on Tuesday we have a luncheon with the Good Sams people from MI.

Have not done much so far this new year. Lois and I have been to the Hitchhiker luncheon, which we had 100 people show up there. We give out three apps. for people to join our chapter. We also have been to the Border Patrol Tour. Now this was interesting. Learn a few things that you don't normally here. We also have been going dancing at other camp ground. I think today we will wash the trailer it really needs it.

La Feria Christmas

Merry Christmas to all and a safe New Years. Its seems that all Lois & I have been doing here lately is to eat. I think I have gain about 5 pounds since we came here. We have been to a Christmas Party at the VIP park for all the workers here between the two parks. We got a $25 gift card for you guess it (Wal-Mart). We also have been to a pot luck last night for our park and Saturday we have a party for our work campers. More food is not want I need. Its been busy here during the holidays. We are getting more campers in all the time. I guess we will have more after Christmas coming in.

La Feria TX

Well its been a while since I wrote anything so I better catch you all up on whats been happening. Lois and I have been to the flea market a couple of more times, and of course we have been the to Walley World a few dozen times. I help a older couple get there new washer & dryer install, so they had to take us out to dinner a couple of times. First time we went to a Chinese Restaurant it was good all you can eat. The second was call Lone Star and it was also good place to go. We all had their Baby Back Ribs.
Lois and I are playing Golf about once a week. She playing with some of the women here in the park and I am playing on a league every Thursday. We did not play last week because of thanksgiving.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here, with all the trimmings. Later the evening we had left overs, what a treat. Then on Tuesday evening we had Turkey Pot Pie for supper. I think we have had enough Turkey for a while.
That is about all for now. Oh we did go and find that couple we met on the way down here. They stay at a place call Texas Trails. It has over 800 sites there, and they have two pools and a huge hot tub that would hold more than thirty people. They also have a big wood shop there and a lot of more things to do. lt comes with a price for all those extra things to do.
We will try to write more often, so until the next time you all be safe and warm.

Ron and Lois

Kay had a thank you supper for us last nite (Sat) we had hamburgers. She just wanted to say thank you very much for all the hard work we have done so far. Looks like about a week left before we go on a schedule here.
