Finally, Sunshine and Warmer Temps

It's hard to believe that we have been here in Texas for over two months and are nearing the half way point of our stay.  Where does the time go?  The Winter Texans are back in full force and our calendar is full of activities.  Our weather has finally begun to improve over the last couple of days--cloudy skies have given way to sunshine and warmer temps--which makes being outside much more enjoyable. 

Even though the weather was on the chilly side earlier in the week, I did manage to play a round of golf Tuesday afternoon with Kathy, Linda, and Ginny.  We were so bundled up it was hard to swing the golf clubs.  That evening we headed over to the RV park for potluck and cards--both of us were losers this week. 

Wednesday morning was quite chilly, but nine guys braved the elements to play the front nine.  I stayed inside all day keeping toasty warm and reading a new mystery on my Kindle.  Following supper, we headed over to the RV park kitchen where we had a presentation by a couple of border partrol agents.  Mary Ellen had arranged the evening which was well attended by 50 or so folks.  Even though questions were submitted prior to the meeting, many in attendance had more questions about the border partol and what is happening locally. I think everyone left with a much greater appreciation of what these men do to keep us safe.

Thursday's weather was a little better, but still on the chilly side with strong winds.  We played couples' golf and were teamed up with Wallace and Lou.  Everyone of us played lousy golf, so we ended up out of the money.  Yesterday the weather was just beautiful and we headed out in the morning to golf with Paul.  We were bundled up at first, but as we moved around the course, we began shedding jackets and sweatshirts and ended up in just tee shirts.  Golfing was much more enjoyable in the warm sunshine.

Our nice weather continued today.  This morning John and I went to the RV park for the Saturday breakfast and after we returned home went for our usual walk around the golf course.  We played 18 holes today with John and Paul and then spent a quiet evening watching a movie and several favorite TV shows.  Next week promises to be a busy one celebrating birthdays and attending the usual activities.
