Finally, Some Warmer Weather

Tuesday was a miserable weather day.  When we first got up, the temp was in the low 30's with rain--that definitely meant no golf for anyone.  Right after breakfast, I got busy and made a salad for the potluck supper that night and, once that was done, John and I took off to Del Rio so we could get out of the house for a few hours.  As we were walking through Penny's, we found that several other Fort Clark residents had the same idea.  We did a little shopping, hit Wendy's for some lunch, and made a final stop at Wal Mart for several grocery items.  John and I watched a little TV when we returned home and then headed over to the RV park for the potluck supper which was followed, as usual, by cards.  I did manage to win one of the "31" games.

After such a cold day yesterday, today started off with a low of 25 degrees.  Needless to say, we skipped our walk this morning.  Once the sun came up, so did the temps.  John donned his long pants and headed off to the clubhouse for men's golf.  Ten guys braved the cool weather to play.  Paul, Tim, and John made plans to stay out on the course to play more golf once the first nine holes were played.  I think they needed to make up for all the lost golfing time due to the weather.  While John was gone this morning, I did some laundry and worked on the finances.  I had a pile of mail and receipts starting to build up on the desk that needed to be cleared away.  After lunch I headed over to the clubhouse where I met up with Mary Ellen, Ginny, and Kathy for nine holes.  Since we usually walk the course on Tuesday mornings, we decided to walk today so we could get some extra exercise.  The weather was absolutely beautiful with warm sunshine and a nice little breeze.  It wasn't long before we all were down to tee shirts--it sure was a big change from yesterday when the temps didn't get much above freezing.  It looks like spring is finally on its way.  The grass on the golf course is beginning to green up and some of the trees are budding.  Even the stores in Del Rio are putting out their summer plants.  We won't have anything like that up north until the end of May.  

Following supper, John and I went over to Jim and Kathy Runger's place in the RV park.  Kathy had some computer questions and asked if I would give her a hand.  We stayed and visited after the problems were figured out and then spent the remainder of the evening watching a couple of our favorite TV shows and some of the Olympics.
