Our final week in the Valley

It is a gorgeous Monday! The weather is absolutely beautiful! No clouds, no wind!
The weather last week was mixed to say the least...warm some days and cold,windy and rainy other days. Compared to what is up north, we can't complain.


We didn't do a lot of traveling around last week..... we went to Don/Wes flea market last Sat. and got some fresh vegetables and some fruit. Don/Wes is in Donna and the next small connecting town is Weslaco so therefore the name Don/Wes. It is I think one of the better places to get fresh fruit and vegetables in the valley that we know of. The radishes were huge and the oranges so sweet. Now the 1015 onions are coming in so I want to get some of those before we head home. We picked up some wonderful huge huge carrots. They are sweet and so good.

Sunday, we went to church and got there early enough this time! It was still packed before very long.

Tuesday was a cloudy cool day so Nancy made chicken and noodles for everyone and we all finished the meal with mashed potatoes, mixed vegetable medley, cake and bread...it was all so good because it was homemade!

Wednesday, we spent the day around here and I finished my quilt top! It is now ready to go to the quilter when I get back to Topeka. I sure hope she can get it done by June anyway! Wednesday evening we went to Macaroni Grill for dinner...it was pretty good but Bill still thinks Carraba's are better......

Thursday, more time around here... our days were pretty relaxed and not much going on.... and so was Friday and Saturday and Sunday.....main events of the last few days have been watching March Madness! We had really hoped Kansas would come through but it was not meant to be! Now we will cheer and hope Kansas State makes it far!

Today is the last day that our good friends, Dennie and Karen, will be with us.... we have been together off and on since October in Coffeyville! We have spent the last 3 months together exploring the Valley. They are moving on to Arizona for a month or so of traveling before heading to North Carolina in June. They are expecting a new great-granddaughter in June! We are really going to miss them as we have gotten really close....they are such great people and we have had such fun with them. They will leave early in the morning for the west...... So travel safe, dear friends!

Well, that about catches us up again....we will use this final week to get things back together and be ready to leave for Victoria on Saturday....
So stay tuned!
