Well, we have been kind of busy, the month, or season, is coming to a close.  We decided to leave early this year, the kids will be on Spring break so it will be a good time to visit.  I think we will stay a month out there, then head back making a few stops along the way.

I took a picture the other day and printed it.  It was kind of strange, a year ago or more we went on a small tour, can’t remember the place but they gave us some food made from different things.  After it was over we took  a picture of six of us and this picture has the same six people in it…

Ed and Joan, Jim and Sue and Linda and I.  I will  have to see if I can find the other picture.  Wonder if we are standing in the same positions???

I took the above picture because of the banana tree.  On my left arm is the flower and above it is the bananas.  I don’t think they will ripen, they look the same as when we got here five months ago!

 

I found it!!!  We weren’t quite in the same order but the same ones.  I thought that was quite amazing!!

OK now I have to try to remember what we did the last couple of days!

Our addition is almost finished.  It is finished for this year.  We will put something on the roof for insulation, probably some Styrofoam boards and roofing to keep it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.  Bob, the owner, took me down and we got a partial load of rock to put in front of the door.  Really didn’t like tracking in all the dirt.  Would have been nice to cement it but this was good, cheaper also.

Here is a cactus that has a growth on it…

That growth has to be eight to ten feet tall and still growing.  I haven’t ever seen it do  this before.  Actually it is growing fast, for a plant.  Took about a month to get this tall.

Friday we had biscuits and gravy at the club house.  For so late in the season it turned out pretty good.  Had twenty eight people, about six or eight more than signed up!  Linda and I donate all the stuff.  We had extra eggs. from HEB, (they were free) so we scrambled three dozen.  After the breakfast was our bible study and that was the last one.  We really enjoyed it.

I have started packing the camper and will do more today and more tomorrow.  Hopefully it won’t be overloaded!!!

Guess that is about all for now.   Bye Y’all….
