Busy Monday for us

We spent a quiet New Years here in the the park. We had planned to go to the New Years Eve Party but by the time the evening rolled around we were all tired and decided to play it low key. So we went over to Dennie and Karen's for a drink and snack and was home by 9:30! We heard the fireworks go off at Midnight but rolled over and went back to sleep! Guess we are getting old!
New Year's Day found us on the road going over to Mission to see our friends, Ron/Nancy and John/Patsy. We went out to eat and visited most of the day with them. Ron/Nancy moved to another RV site with a huge "Texas room"....it was beautiful and they will enjoy it I'm sure. It has a large living room and full kitchen with a big bathroom and then attached is a garage with a garage door and a small door for their golf cart.
Saturday morning we drove back to the park in Mission with Dennie and Karen, Howard and Karen to look at an RV space to rent. We will move over there in February and March. These sites are double RV spaces and full concrete for the same amount we are paying here at Paradise South.
We ate lunch at Granny's which is well known for its Mega burger and they bring a machete out so you can cut the hamburger with it. Bill got to do the honors this time and of course none of us brought a camera! We rode around that part of the valley for a while and came home.
Sunday, we went to the flea market and fresh vegetable market. After being at the flea markets in Florida and Arizona this one seems very small... we will probably go back though!
Our friends, Larry and Sherry arrived on Sunday and it was great to see them!
They will be here for 2 months.
Today was a day we had errands to run and also cleaning! I got all the laundry done and the bathroom cleaned and floors mopped. Bill washed the outside of the rig so I went outside to wash windows. It looks much better! Now to tackle the cabinets inside! Hopefully I can get that done tomorrow.
Larry and Sherry asked us to go out to dinner so we went down to their Motorhome for a Happy Hour before going. Larry suggested we go to Mexico for dinner. So off we went! We went to a restaurant called "The Red Snapper". It was great seafood....Larry, Sherry and I had huge fried shrimp, twice baked potato and salad. Bill had Ranchero shrimp which he said was spicy but delicious. We stopped by the liquor store on the way out and Larry bought some liquor.Larry and Sherry drive over so we were able to get a parking spot right in front of the restaurant which was upstairs. We will make several trips over I'm sure. We are only about 10 minutes from the border so it was a nice drive. Most of the winter Texans had gone back "north" for the day by the time we left and it was dark downtown Progresso. They had armed guards standing on a corner. They weren't there last time we were there 3 years ago. We left about 5 and got home around 7:15 this evening.

Well that about does it for this time!
Until next time!
