From Cirque de Soleil to a Western Saloon

On Friday many of our friends were in the shuffle board tournament – which ran most of the day. To congratulate those who won and console those who didn’t win, we decided to host an afternoon happy hour. With it being on the chilly side, we hosted in our Titanium – guess what – ten people fit very well! Happy hour stretched into the evening and a good time was had by all.





Saturday afternoon fourteen of us headed over to Hildago to the State Farm Arena for the Cirque de Soleil performance “Alegria”. Jane wanted to go for Valentine’s Day, so she spoke to two friends who spoke to two more – and first thing you knew Jane was voted the K street coordinator and she arranged for the tickets and then found a restaurant that would take a reservation for 14.




The Cirque show was fantastic ( sorry no photos since no cameras allowed) and the dinner at Tony Roma’s was delicious. Think Jane & Paul will have the left over ribs for Valentine’s day dinner.



On Sunday afternoon, we headed out of the park with ten of our friends to “Harley’s Country Store & Beer Garden”. It was described as “The Best Watering Hole tucked away off the beaten path in Deep South Texas”. Every Sunday Harley and the Bayview Bushriders play live music, host a donation only BBQ at unique location. More like a ramshackle Texas saloon that is filled with Winter Texans, bikers and old bikers, all who get together on the tiny dance floor for a good time.











What a hoot!. We had an absolute ball – thank goodness Jane volunteered to drive our full truck home!




Valentine’s day was a perfect day of sun and 80 degree weather. Paul did his computer club, Jane did her stretch class and aqua fit. Nice to have decent weather to allow us to be in the pool. Paul decided to work on his truck and he finished installing the Banks Speed Brake which will help in braking while towing. By the end of the afternoon he looked like a grease monkey and headed off to the community showers for a through degreasing. After dinner Jane & Paul headed over to the dance hall for the Valentines Day dance which featured the “Agency” band – one of our favorites.

Tuesday the sun hid behind the clouds, so it did not succeed in getting to the forecasted high temp. So it was a good day to do some gardening and clean up our flower beds. We went to the evening performance of the 6th annual Fun N Sun Gospel Music Festival. The performers all volunteered their time to benefit 4 local charities including the San Benito Food Bank and Shoe Bank for local children.

Wednesday started with Paul golfing and Jane going to volunteer at Toys for Tots. The Titanium Owners luncheon was held at Victoria Palms RV Resort. About 110 owners were in attendance. It was a good chance to visit with Titanium friends who are spread all over the Rio Grande Valley. One of the new Heartland Titanium toy-haulers was brought to the luncheon by a local dealer. It was fun to see one of the new models.

Thursday night Jenn will be arriving for a short visit to celebrate President’s Day weekend.
