We quickly settled in on our site, rushed off to sign up for Internet and our newspaper delivery, got involved in Toys for Tots, Ipad user group, aqua fitness, Friday night Texas country dances, computer club, and even aqua Zumba - just to name a few of our weekly activities. We arrived at Fun N Sun just in time for the monthly Canadian club pot luck although it was quite a small turn out.
A week after we arrived, Jennifer flew down on Wednesday to spend Thanksgiving weekend with us. On Thursday our neighbors, Denny and Mary hosted our K street's Thanksgiving feast. Over 20 people attended and the food was varied and plentiful.
Friday morning we arrived at Kohl's at 7:30 a.m. to get some of the Black Friday deals. We finished there at 9:00 a.m. and headed to What a Burger - a Texas burger chain for breakfast. Since it was warm day, we took Jenn out to South Padre Island to enjoy the beach and the water (although none of us got into the water over our knees).
After a late lunch of seafood at Dirty Al's, we headed back to Fun n Sun for the Texas dance. Yes, Jenn came along and started to learn the basic Texas two step. A fun way to cap off a great day.
Saturday we headed to Las Vegas Cafe for a traditional Mexican breakfast. After breakfast we headed to the Don West Flea market and stopped at Costco to pick up some salmon for our dinner.
Jenn headed back home on Sunday morning and we went to Dave and Myrna's to watch the Grey Cup game.
This past week has seen us attend two Christmas tree lighting ceremonies in Harlingen - the neighbouring town. Friday night our friends Mitch and Connie invited a group of us over to the Elks Club for a BBQ steak dinner and dancing. We all had a good time.
Today started early with a community garage sale in the Rec Hall. We did part with a few treasures, but we also came home with some new ones! In all we were $3.00 ahead. After the sale, we headed to Jackson Street in Harlingen for their market day - an open air festival / flea market with many vendors, musicians,and food. On a warm sunny 85 degree day it really is fun.
Tonight we are happy to have a slow evening - why we even got to update our blog! Next week will be busy as the Christmas season gets into full swing here in Rio Grande Valley and as more of our friends arrive in the park.
