Returning to the Valley

Thought I’d share the gas prices here in the Valley with you. Haven’t seen it this low in – who knows when. Photo: Walmart/Murphy on Nolana east of Ware, McAllen. Yee-haw!!

Actually since this was taken it’s dropped another three cents. I looked at the local prices back in Michigan and it’s still around $3.30.

Our first week back in Texas has been full of sunny skies, warm temperatures and light breezes. And this is why we drive 1800 miles to get here. That and the local folks are one of the most friendly people we’ve ever come across. Signs and banners are every where all saying Welcome Back Winter Texans.

The trailer was pretty dirty inside for all the construction going on this summer in our park. So I worked on cleaning and pulled all the clothes out to wash. As long as I was doing that I decided we needed to go thru items and get rid of things we haven’t worn. Now I have room for all the clothes I couldn’t bring myself to leave up north.

The other day we were sitting outside with Dave/Linda and he said Pepper found a toad. As it turned out it is what they call a Cane Toad and is very deadly to small animals if they touch the toxin these toads release. Luckily we got Pepper away from it before it got to close.  Larry then gave it a dose of Shovel-i-ts

These things are huge and there seems to be a lot of them in our park. So no more letting Pepper be outside by herself.

Have to share our Grand-son’s school picture. What a heart breaker he’s going to be.

Guess that’s it for this week. Till next time……………..
