FINALLY, A REALLY NICE DAY

The weather is improving, Saturday night reached a low of 7C but the high reached a nice 20C on Sunday. It was great!

We congregated in the a.m. with a number of the neighbours who we hadn't seen for awhile due to the weather. Everyone was out enjoying the sun we missed.

In the afternoon, Cathy and I went to the flea market again. It is starting to get busy since more Winter Texans are arriving. It sure is surprising what people will try and sell, if were my stuff, it would be a trip to the dump. We ended up buying a bag of fresh oranges to eat and make some juice. They are smaller, and more of a yellow colour than the ones at home. They are quite sweet. The price was 13 for a dollar. After a sample we selected the bag for $2.50.


                                                       I think there are about 42 oranges.

We made another stop at Home Depot and then bought gas at $3.15/gal which apparently goes up for the weekend. It was $3.09.   

We got home just in time for happy hour and had another great visit with the neighbours.

I tried a different procedure to get into the blog so I can add picture now. Some will be of the Football game Cathy had a bet on with Dale between the Oregon Ducks and Kansas.
 This was a sign we printed off and Cathy sneaked over to Dale's and posted in the morning of the game.

















The duck horn Cathy was able to get from Bernie which Cathy blew every time the ducks got points.
Dale paying off his debt with a Canadian Loonie he had from the last time he visited Canada.


This is the container everyone buys to put their liquor in to take to the dances. It come in two sizes, this is the small one. Mine seams to have evaporated. I am sure it was full??


All for now.
