Napping

 Butch took my picture while I was napping. Yes, we are still in South Texas. 42 degrees

A Visionary?

 

Frustrations

 Many days the weather in Iowa is about the same as here-60's daytime and 40's nighttime. We have had several weeks of this off and on interspersed with an 80 degree once in a blue moon. This is very frustrating and then...we add to that the park being shut down to all indoor activities. Why, you might ask? Because these grown-up(?), rules-are-for-you-not-me people cannot seem to do as they are told concerning Covid protocol. We have had several cases in the park and the rules are simple. Self-isolate for 10 days. Stay home if you are sick. Do not assume it is a simple cold and/or the Texas Crud because most likely it is NOT, as those who have tested and found out they were positive can attest to.

But the thinking is I can go to church, play bingo, etc, and as long as I wear a mask it will be okay. So the spread goes on and gets even bigger. The result is management has decided a wake-up call is warranted.

All indoor activities are suspended until Saturday, tomorrow, and have been since last Monday. So no outdoor activity because of weather and no indoor activity because of inconsiderate people with the "Texas Crud"

Frustration...

Trip to Nuevo Progreso

 Butch and I went to Nuevo Progreso today for a visit with our favorite pharmacist, Hector. We picked up some meds for one of our sons and a friend. We have come through the border many, many times. It is not unusual for questions to be asked as to the reason you went to Mexico, what you were bringing back etc. We are used to that and have learned to have our answers ready. Real answers of course, not made-up ones. And this time was no exception. The line of people coming back was long and the wait was taking a while but time moved on and we were inside the building. We were waved into a newly formed line and they took a quick glance at our passports and we moved on! It was the quickest and easiest entry into the USA we have ever had. At least in the last decade.

We ate at Jessica's and had Chicken Fajitas for lunch. A full and delicious meal for $4.95. I do not see a reason to try anything different!

We will have a couple more trips down before heading north in the spring.

Okay, Here's the thing...

 Butch and I went to the Dermatology clinic a couple of weeks ago and we had a few biopsies. Yesterday was our return visit. We expected to zip in, zip out, and get on with our day. However, I had one biopsy on my neck, right side, that had some squamous cells and Butch had a mole that they wanted to remove. They said they could work it in this same day if we chose to do so. Getting mighty tired of doctor appointments we worked it in. Butch's mole removal was rather straightforward. Mine was one of those where they take some tissue and have it tested to make sure they have it all before sewing you up and calling it quits. The bad news is this all takes time but the good news is they only had to do it once. So another visit will be needed to make sure it all healed as it should but then maybe we can get a breather from sitting in waiting rooms.

Note to self: It is COLD in those waiting rooms so dress appropriately next visit!!!
