WE had lots to do today. We picked up Gary and Judy to go to the All Valley RV Show in Mercedes (about 45 minutes east of Mission). We seemingly never get tired of checking out RVs, looking for new features and clever solutions. Gary picked up a handy gadget to hold down the sewer drain hose while dumping to keep it from being knocked off the drain by accident. It looks kind of like a plastic milk jug, but with a cutout to fit over the hose, and you fill it with water for weight. When you pack up, you just dump the water, and you have a light jug to pack.
I finally decided to buy a telescoping clothes drying rack that fits on the ladder in back. I've been eyeing them for some time now. They are kind of pricey, but they work well, are easy to put up and take down, and compact to pack.
This evening we went to Pharr South for Jean's beer tasting party. Unfortunately, some of the invitees didn't make it because of illness (Bob was home nursing Pat; Steve decided he needed to get out of the house, and Jan said she didn't need anyone to share her misery). That left eight of us. Jean's son is an award winning craft brewer in Indianapolis. We had a taste of one of his beers last year, so we were really looking forward to more.
The beer caps have custom labels. The kind Jean had most of was labelled "Happy 65th MOM--John Wayne Pudding." As you might guess, these were a birthday present.
We had a great time today. It's wonderful to have friends.
