It Has Been a Nice Month


The weather has been good, nearly. I'm getting in all the golf and other activities I can handle. In fact I get to play so much that my body gets to sore by Friday. i do take off on Wednesday to rest and due chores.

I had a "guest" today. It seems that my DW flew down Friday and stayed till Sunday noon. She got o do all those things that we did last year when she was here. I got this pic of her getting ready to go back to the airport in McAllen. It will be my turn to go to Fort Worth 12/21 and come back 12/25. the ticket has been bought and we are counting the days.

We drove the golf cart around and got these pics of the early holiday decorations that have been put out. This cactus gets the tips done each year. And this yard has some very pretty flowers blooming.

Here is a close up of the flowers and then a long shot of the rest of the yard. There are some real nice looking homes here. The price is very right too.















It did get warm, like 90 on the weatherbug for us. And the wind blew. the low in Ill west of Chicago is drawing the air up from this area and it blew 15-25 with gusts to 30+. Not a good golf day. I have and will play in 10-20 with 25+ gusts but 30+ is a bit much.

Shirley has caught her 1:55 AA flight home and will land about this time. Shore was nice to see her after a month even if it was for a short stay. I will be up there soon for 4 days and kitty will be alone in the rv "bird hunting" thru the window.

Temp: 90 for the high, 73 for the low
Forecast: 70 for tomorrow, 42 tomorrow night with 50% chance of rain. Be nice to have some cooler weather for a day.
Mileage: Suv 122, Rv was none.
Gas: Rv was $197.10 and suv was $22.19. The rv has a full tank for the return trip.
Spent:$2343.27 with 4 months park rent (1774.32), 3 months golf ($270.00) and cart ($200.26 first month and $162.38 each added month), and new toilet ($321.65) and $42.00 for propane since last spring. I added the electric bill of $46.20 to close out the month.
