Cold Front

The weather today has been very different from yesterday's. We woke up this morning, turned on the heat, and jumped back into bed while we waited for it to warm up a bit. The wind was whistling and rattling everything through the night and morning, but by this afternoon, we had a break. The sun was shining, and it was 60 degrees. We decided to take one long walk while we had a chance.

This morning we went to Darryl Lipscomb's A-2 dance at a new location. The dance has moved from Mission Bell in Mission to Our Savior Lutheran Church in McAllen. The RV park decided to raise the rent, which is too bad, since the wood floor there was the nicest place to dance in the area. The church has a large gym with tile over concrete. At least we have a place to dance. Today there were ten squares. That number will continue to rise as Winter Texans flock back to the Valley, fleeing the cold northern weather.

We played two rounds of Rummikub tonight, with each of us winning one. Tomorrow we'll finish the match.

I talked with Carol tonight. She says it will be 29 degrees in Tyler tonight. Brrr. She's planning to go with Dick to his eye doctor appointment Monday. He's been having a lot of trouble with his right eye, to the point that he has little vision in it. He's using some drops right now for inflammation, but it's unclear what the actual diagnosis is. We're certainly hoping the treatment is effective.

I still have some congestion and cough, but am definitely on the mend. I've quit taking cold meds. Hardy and Judy went to Mexico today, partly to pick up some meds for a friend. I'm thinking it would be good to try to get some Cipro, just in case.
