MX/TX Trip # 77 Happenings ( Thursday,Friday, Saturday )

Since not much is happening when you are settled in the same  RV Park , like we are doing now , I will bunch several days of "activities", if you can call it that into each report. 

The main topic here is how different the weather is from what it has been in years passed. It is fair to said the weather is not conducive to the phase " Sunny Texas" because most days start with overcast, fog, mist and sometimes the Sun. Some our friends are golfers and many days they start their game with jackets/coats  and as an avid golfers they normally "sugar coat "   the weather by saying that the Sun peaked thru etc etc. 

We did not do much on Valentines Day but on Friday we went to MX , which is only 7 miles away , with our friends the Nahas. Neither of us had a need to visit MX but we just want to kill a day and we planned to have lunch while we were there, which we did. Larry and I had our shoes shine as Larry has been going to the same guy for 20 years. Apparently the "shine Guy " is from Monterey, and  comes to " Progresso " this border town every winter because business is better  because of us  "Winter Texans. " Then we met the ladies and had lunch at one of the restaurants that is a favourite for the Gringos. We would normally pick up a bottle of booze but TX has slapped a 2.75 tax on all booze coming into TX so the it just as cheap to buy in TX. 

On Saturday we went to the local Flea market as Carroll was looking for Bamboo sheets. We squeezed the Flea market trip in between the Scotties and hockey and this will continue for the next week. Cheers
