Our annual garage sale was today. I resigned this year from this duty. After the big event and than the craft night I didn’t really want to do it. But Bonnie stayed on to help the new volunteer Sheri and everything went really great. The residents all were very pleased with the turn out and most pretty much sold all they had. Of course the sale was suppose to start at 9am but they were lined up at the front gate by 8am.
On Monday Larry rode over to Corpus Christi with Mark who had a Dr’s appt there. His wife Dale is in Atlanta with her father who wasn’t doing well but glad to say her father is out of the hospital and much better. While Larry was gone I decided it would be a good day to clean my carpets. So got our Little Green Machine out and proceeded to spend the next several hours on my hands and knees. It really wasn’t to bad until that night and I was reminded my knees and back are not 20 years old. But the carpets/chairs/sofa are done and look good.
Last week our new grandson Dar’Relle was pictured in a local paper back home. He’s a Senior this year and his basketball team has been doing good. So thought I’d share the picture with you.
Dar’Relle is in the blue and number 34
Yes that’s our new baby grandson.
Tuesday was the monthly community meeting. There’s going to be some changes in the responsibility of the Advisory committee which I don’t think some of them like. They have been told by the owner they will have to take back some of the responsibility that this committee had when first organized. Won’t go into detail but I honestly think everyone is really making this out to be more than it needs to be. But we’ll see.
Wednesday was the ladies luncheon. Was a little surprised that our turn out was a little low but it was still a good time.
Thursday Marilynn and I met Linda C and her daughter Barb who was visiting this week for breakfast at Renee’s. Had a great time getting to know Barb and of course enjoyed our breakfast.
Friday we went out with Mark to a new Chinese place for dinner. We went there a few weeks ago and really like the place. It has turned out to be a favorite eating place of Retama’s residents as we ran into several couples there from our park.
OK, so would you like to know what my Valentine present was from Larry. Well I’ve mentioned before about Larry going to the gun range that we have here and I’ve gone a few times with him. He’s been after me to shoot his Kahr 40 cal. Well I’ve watched him shoot that thing and I was sure it would come back and hit me in the nose.
But today I was presented with my very own Bersa 380 cal. And here’s a picture of it.
So this afternoon we went over to the range and I got to shoot it. First I want to say it didn’t kick back and break my nose like I thought it would. Kind of scary the first time but after that I was able to open my eyes and really enjoy it. I had to bring my target poster home and take a picture of it so I could show you. For those of you who don’t know the blue tape is placed over each hole so you know where a new hit was.
I’m thinking of taping this outside our door with a plaque saying This home is guarded by Linda
Not bad for someone who would never even tough a gun. OK I’ll admit I was only about 20 feet away but just give me time. Soon I’ll be joining Larry and the others on the competitions they have there.
Guess that’s about it for this week. Larry’s watching the MSU game so guess I’ll find something on the other TV.
Till next time………………….
