It seems every time I find a few minutes to post here it pops into my mind how busy we are. Butch is still getting numerous electrical calls and I am getting the computer ones. Yesterday a gal called and left a voicemail telling me she was having trouble with her mouse. Trouble is she didn't leave her name. Her voice was very deep. That is my only clue as I deleted her voicemail before realizing I didn't have a name. Oh well, I assume she will get it fixed or call again.
Yesterday we (Leslie Cleaveland and I) made over 30 omelets in a bag for Saturday morning breakfast. They want us to offer them once a month because they are a hit. It was mighty tasty and an easy way to handle eggs for a large group.
Bill and Jo Brooker are due to arrive today and I have a feeling Marlene and Bernard Kelley are headed for Harlingen too. We have been having cool weather so their transition won't be as severe as in years past. We will have to schedule a family get together ASAP. But not to Mexico.
There was a big drug cartel shooting in Progreso on the welcome back winter Texans celebration day (last Saturday). Several people from Magnolia were down there when it happened. Floyd and Lucy Shaeffer were on the street when the shooting started and a store owner pulled them in and then lowered their metal doors. They all got on the floor and could hear the bullets hitting the metal door.
The Mexican military killed 3 or 4 drug cartel guys. No Americans or Mexican civilians were hurt in the fight which is some kind of miracle. The Mexican military were firing AK7's. Several of them were injured and hospitalized. The bad guys were shooting back.
Right now you can throw a rock on the main street and not hit a gringo. Some are going down but it is eerily quiet down there. Toomire went for Kitties cigarettes and he said it was VERY quiet.
I need some meds but haven't worked up the nerve to go yet. I suppose I will in time.
Those poor people down there are getting even poorer.
The town of Progreso had been spared all the drug cartel fights till now.
