Change In The Weather

There was no golf or wood carving on Monday, and since the weather was misty and overcast, we decided to head to Del Rio for some shopping.  When we left the house, the temperature was around 65 degrees with a light breeze.  After spending an hour in the mall we came outside to temps about 25 degrees colder and strong winds straight out of the north.  Neither of us was prepared for the big drop in temperature which made it miserable getting from the car and into the stores at every stop.

The colder weather continued Tuesday morning, so ladies' golf was canceled.  With that change in plans, it was decided this would be a good time to get the Christmas tree up and decorated and start on the annual Christmas letter and cards.  The weather improved in the afternoon, so John and I played a round of golf.

More and more winter Texans are rolling in everyday and the RV park is getting a little fuller.  Our good friends John and Theresa finally got here along with some folks from Canada.  Wednesday morning was men's golf and there were enough guys for two teams.  John played with John B. and Georgia Jim.  ( There are several Jim's here, so we identify them by their home state--Georgia Jim, Wisconsin Jim, Minnesota Jim, etc.)

Today was couples' golf and John and I played with Charles and Vida.  On the final hole I sunk a birdie putt to put us three under par which gave us 3rd place.  Many of the winter activities are starting up once again, so we'll be kept pretty busy from now on.
