Many things to do in Texas

On Saturday nights Mary and Bob have become regulars at the Dairy Queen for the local Car Show. The number of cars that show up runs from 15 -30 and every week we get to see 2-4 different ones. The group of owners is a mixed group from retirees to younger Mexican men. They start arriving in the parking lot at 7 PM and by 9 PM most are gone .
The red car with the flames is a 32 Ford fiber glass body car from Indiana. It was trailered down to Texas by a retiree and is for sale for 45,000.00. Bob said it is a nice car.. As you can see there is a wide variety of cars to look at and talk about , either in English or Spanish.

Winter Texans try to stay busy .. And sometimes we do not even leave the park. There are cards and games on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. We all gather at the game room and Lavonne takes charge of dividing us up fairly, at least that is her story.. We must draw for our table and wait to see who we will be playing with. Much good natured grumbling goes on..

Games of "65" and Joker are the most likely to be played. Monday is Bingo.[Waiting for the lesson to begin]

Kathy and Will [aka- Vango] have visited a couple of times and Bob and Mary gave them lessons in the basics of Joker. We played on the porch until supper and after supper Gene and Joy were called to meet and play with us so Kathy and Will could see the difference in playing with a larger group at the game room. I think they enjoyed the fun. We plan on more competition very soon.

The next day they returned with the Van to fill up with water as this is their home as they travel all over the USA.

Golf carts are everywhere.. Evelyn and Bud even acquired one this year and Mary is envious.. People decorate the carts for every holiday but Christmas is the most colorful and always has lots of lights blinking..
