It was mainly sunny today with a high of 27C and last night's low was 10.
Cathy decided to do some laundry today and I checked out where some bugs inside were getting inside the coach. It seems they are following the water, and cable lines in. The neighbours say we need to get some 7 Mule Team Borax and put it around the coach tires and where the cables touch the ground to prevent the visitors.
Since it was quite warm, we decided to cool off at the pool but kept an eye on the time to be sure not to miss happy hour. Our bicycles have been getting a lot of use going here and there around the resort giving us some needed exercise.
We are starting to notice some younger people around who are here to visit their grandparents for the holidays.
I just can't get in the full Christmas spirit went it is 27 degrees C and no snow - but some how I will manage.
Til tomorrow...

BUSY YESTERDAY
We had a low of 13C Friday night and a high of 25 with a partly cloudy sky.
Cathy was going into withdrawal from not being able to shop for awhile so she wanted to go to the Flea Market again and TJ Max to check things out.
At the Flea Market I noticed a Barber Shop so had my first Texan hair cut - I think he was a sheep shearer in his previous profession. I was done in less than 8 minutes. But hey, what do you expect for $8.00. In the Barber shop there were items such as a TV, radio, toaster oven, reading glasses all with a price tag on them. (extra income!!)
Twins!
We headed to TJ Max and Cathy was only able to find one top she wanted. Not sure how long that will satisfy Cathy's shopping urge but she was content for the time being.
We had lunch at the Olive Garden. A medium pizza with 4 toppings, all you can eat salad and all you can eat bread sticks for $10.50. Wow! We couldn't eat all the pizza, so we brought it home with the left over bread and salad.
The stores where getting busy too. We had to park away at the back of Wal-mart when we stopped for milk. Cathy noticed went she was coming out of Wal-mart the Mexican shoppers once outside the doors were removing their purchases and throwing away the boxes and packing. This we found out was for them to prepare for their trip back over the border with nothing to declare.
We then headed home in time for Happy Hour. Right after Happy Hour we headed for the Rec. Hall as we had tickets for tonight's dance with the "Cruisers". The group made up of 6 guys all in their 60's were very good as they played 50 and 60's music. We hardly sat down. The head singer was at one time Freddy Fender's drummer who was born not far from here.
After the dance, while heading home we could still hear music but it was Mexican. It apparently was coming from Progressso (where we crossed the border, about 30 mins. away). It seamed so close due to the wind carrying it across the flat land.
All for now...
