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!!)

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...
