First stop of the morning was Kit and Jerry's place
We hit the road to Del Rio with our first stop at Radio Shack. Our cell phone batteries don't seem to be holding a charge as long as they did when we were in Minnesota. The clerk checked them out and said that since they are Verizon phones, they may be using more power to pull in the signal from the cell towers. He also said that Verizon does not do well in this area. So, I guess we will be charging the cell phones every evening instead of once every two or three days. Next stop was Wal Mart for lights and a few groceries. We decided on an early lunch and pulled into Wendy's before driving back to the fort.
The weather is forecast to turn colder with possibly some rain, so John wanted to bag up all the leaves and branches he raked up over the past few days. I held the bags open while he shoveled up all the debris. We managed to fill seven large trash bags and now our dirt yard looks pretty good, or as good as dirt can look. As we were taking a little breather our neighbor, Neva, came to visit bringing us some Christmas treats. She is such a sweet person and we enjoyed our visit.
Since the afternoon was warm, sunny, and beautiful, we decided to head down to the Par 3 for a few holes of golf. John wanted to stop at Wallace's first to pick up a sample for carving before we went to the course. As we were driving past the RV Park, we saw that John and Theresa and Paul and Melinda were there--both couples had just arrived and we getting settled. So, of course, we had to pull in, say "Hi", and visit for a few moments. As we pulled into Wallace's I told John not to linger or we were never going to have enough time to play before we would need to get ready to go to the Christmas Parade. We ended up only playing five holes and practicing some chipping and putting.
Just returned home from watching the Christmas Parade. There we some very nice floats and, of course, many decorated golf carts. The parade ended up downtown Brackettville where there were booths set up selling foods and crafts. I think the entire population of the town came out for the event. It was a perfect night--warm and balmy.
