Sunny skies continued today but with cooler temps and strong winds. John had another restful night and felt well enough to take our morning walk. The medicine he's taking now seems to be keeping the pain under control. He still has numbness and tingling in his right arm, so we assume that means the nerve is still being pinched somewhere.

The gals I play golf with on Tuesday mornings canceled today due to the cold and wind, so John and I decided to make a run to Del Rio to wash the car and pick up a few grocery items. There is so much dust in the air and on the ground, that every time it rains, the vehicles get coated in a thin layer of mud-like dirt. The car wash was busy this morning, but we were able to find an empty slot and get the Honda cleaned up and shining again. By the time John got the car done it was noon, and that meant a stop at Wendy's for a quick bite before hitting Wal Mart. It took us longer to check out than it did to do the actual shopping--we need to stay away from stores until after Christmas.

Tonight was the first RV park potluck supper and card game of the winter season so this afternoon I made a hamburger hotdish for the meal. There were quite a few empty places around the tables as many of the Winter Texans won't be back until after the holidays. Five of us stayed after the meal and played 31 with Paul winning both games. He was so happy to finally beat John as John had defeated him several times last year. Even though we both lost, we had a good time this evening visiting with folks we hadn't seen since last spring.
