Weslaco , TX 2015

15 March: As you may know the Women's World Curling is on in Japan and since I find it interesting I got up at 5 AM to watch our Canadian Team. So far Women are doing OK but we are no longer the Top of the class. As anyone who follows curling knows that Canadian  curlers have taught the rest of the world how to curl. This year Japan, China and Russia are coached by Canadians.  Curling also interrupts the " Boredom " during this terrible wet and cold weather.
On Friday evening we went to the Fish Fry with Holly and Larry so we made arrangements to have breakfast with them on Sunday, as we probably  will not see them for a few years as they live in Brandon, MB.
Our friend Terry  who lost her husband here in Weslaco in mid February owns a Park Model here and does not want to drive  all the way from Med Hat to TX alone next year so she was looking to buy a car here. She found a vehicle so ask me to check it out for her. The car is owned by a lady in Winnipeg who can not come here due to health  reasons. The car is a 97 with MB plates and has 99,000 KM and can be purchased for 1500.00. I thought it was a good buy " But " when Terry checked with the License Bureau they laid out the many hoops to jump thru. Even thought she owns a home here she needs a US Passport or a Drivers License ( which she can not obtain ) or she has to take the vehicle back to Alberta and license it there and then bring it back here. There are just too many Hoops to jump thru so she has backed away from that deal.
Since it was still raining we had tickets to a Tribute to Abba concert , cost 12.00 so we spent the evening with friends at the Abba concert.

16 March:  Yes; It's raining or at least we have a steady drizzle so we packed up so we can leave here on Wed AM. We have had enough of this weather  but not before we go to the St. Patrick's Day party
on Tuesday. this is the last party of the year.
Carroll "needs" another large , Mexican made flower pot so we went to the " Pot Market " and  picked up 2 of Pots.  . We have to "Seat Belt" them into  the back seat of the car, hoping we can get them home without breaking them. We are also bringing  a huge Piñata home  for the Twins as their B'Day is on 15 April.  Our next report will be from Mesa, AZ. Cheers
