On February 1, we joined Blair & Sharon and John & Marg to dance to the music of John & Cindy Dixon (Dixon and Company) from Woodstock, Ontario. We had no trouble finding a table in the hall at Kenwood RV Park in La Feria but despite the small crowd we had a great time dancing to the music of these Ontarians who spend their winters here in the valley.
The next day we spent Super Bowl Sunday at Doug and Sue’s starting with snacks, then going to ice cream and ending with supper during the game. It is always fun to eat dessert first
At the Snowbird Extravaganza in McAllen on February 4th, we saw some friends from the Titanium owners’ club and went to an informative presentation about snowbird issues of spending time in the U.S. We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to go to Costco since we were so close and even returned to the park in time for Jane to go to Gospel Fest.
On Friday February 7th, our friends Tony & Sharon and John & Carol (from the Titanium Owners’ club arrived in the park for a two week stay. John & Carol had driven from Ottawa through all sorts of bad weather only to arrive here when the water was turned off so the maintenance staff could fix a sewer problems.
Despite the cold rainy weather, the two couples joined us at the Texas Country dance to celebrate Sue’s milestone birthday.
On Saturday Sue & Doug headed to Galveston to take a Carnival cruise while Patty & Paul took a group on a Royal Caribbean cruise.
The Saturday night entertainment was Cross Strung – a family group playing a selection of Celtic, Bluegrass, Country, Gospel and Folk. We enjoyed their performance and we were glad to learn that they were named best Bluegrass group in the Valley Star Awards for 2014.
The weather cleared on Sunday enough for us to host Tony & Sharon and John & Carol here at a BBQ where we were actually able to eat outside. After supper we took them to the Ice Cream Social and entertainment.
Jane went to the ladies’ salad luncheon – a salad pot luck - on Monday the 10th. The ladies were entertained by Ralph Kuster, a vocalist from Foxboro, Ontario who performs in Branson in the fall and here in the RGV in the winter. He used the Valentine theme throughout his performance and Myrna even got up to dance with him!!
Tuesday the 11th was another cold dreary day but
fortunately we could spend the afternoon in the Rec Hall enjoying Western Days.
Although the attendance was lower than last year, the Singles club was able to
raise over $2000.00 for the San Benito Boys and Girls Club (an organization
which is desperate for funds).
That day we also welcomed Doug’s sister & brother-in-law
Blanche and John as they arrived in park for a short visit. Fortunately Wednesday was a much nicer day to
orient them to the area so they could go touring on their own.
