Son Jason had a hard time calling us yesterday. Every time we tried to get a phone conversation going an activity interrupted us. I can see why he thinks we are busy down here. On Saturday we went to the Feast of Sharing in Weslaco. H.E.B., my most favorite grocery store feeds all their patrons a meal each December. It is a thank you to all of us who buy our groceries there throughout the year. It is always a good meal-Ham-mashed potatoes and gravy-mixed vegetables-apple pie and a drink. We get it fast and it is warm and delicious. It is a wonder how they can get thousands served so well and so quickly. Many people volunteer to get that done. That was Saturday.
Yesterday Butch's sister Marlene and her husband Bernard came over from Harlingen. We went to the Golden Corral for dinner, followed by a trip to the Don-Wes Flea Market. Then a lively game of cribbage followed with Marlene and Bernard cleaning up. All the Brookers are lucky but Marlene seems to have a bigger share of it but this time her luck revolved around her partner, Bernard.
Then at four I led the Magnolia Christmas Parade. I do not have delusions of grandeur. It is simply because if they are not led in a slow manner they will race around the park like a bunch of children in bumper cars. So to make the parade last long enough for anyone to see the floats I lead them at a leisurely walking pace. Everyone had time to see all the floats and get plenty of pictures.
This was followed by Christmas music and ice cream and cake in Allen Hall. Then we watched the final episode of Survivor. We were okay with the winner but we would have rather seen Jane get it. A very full day we had.
This is the one I am trying to duplicate.Well Butch is off to shuffle board and I must get my walk in. See ya!
