Really?

 This was part of a comedy skit in the main hall. This was one of the musical instruments; I thought it was funny!

Gelman Stained Glass Museum

 Gelman Stained Glass Museum 411 Virgen de San Juan Blvd, San Juan, TX 78589

I went to the Stained Glass Museum with the Linders. It is one of many places to visit in the Rio Grande Valley. And I know from experience you cannot see them all in one season. In fact, it takes several seasons.

Here are some photos from the trip:

This one was in the ceiling of the entry.






When you first step into the main room...
This guy caught my eye...wonder why?
The pipe organ that is very large. None of the photos do it justice.

Catching up with the Brookers

 We both have been steadily engaged in many activities. January and February are the two busiest months of the year for us in South Texas. When we left Magnolia I made a vow to myself that I would not be as heavily scheduled when we were in Trophy. At times it is a struggle although I am not nearly as busy as I could be if I continually said "yes". Having too many interests is definitely part of it. I enjoy doing the things we do very much. Monday, we square dance at noon in another park. I can still get in an hour or so of pool when we come home even though I arrive late. Tuesdays are my busiest day. Pool is from 1:00 to 3:00 for me and then trivia from 6:30 to 8:30PM. Butch goes to the pool hall on Tuesday nights to practice up for Wednesdays.  Butch is tied up with pool on Wednesdays and it is my day off. I say it is my day off but I do have to get next weeks trivia questions put together and do household chores. Thursday is a day off for both of us and that is when we do things outside the park, like go to Mexico, shopping and appointments etc. Fridays is a big pool day for Butch. Enough already!

I plan to go to the Stained Glass Museum with the Linders tomorrow. I plan to take my camera and I hope they allow photos. Photography has been mostly on the back burner. I do not count phone pics as photography. There is a definite difference when compared.

Thursday night I am going with a couple of friends to a Swedish Weaving class. No, I am not teaching it. There is already someone doing the teaching and I will be a helper, gladly.

So I have given you a peek into what's happening with us. 

Going through some old photos: 

Guessing on age...Butch at 17.

Barb at 15

Pool Hall results for Mixed Doubles

Our friends may notice that neither I nor Butch made it to the winner's circle this week. I do not know what Butch's reason is but mine is that I have been in a slump. I am ready for it to go away. Oh well....we will try again next week! It was fun anyway as we were among friends.
