Friday August 20th

Like the old saying, "I've been so busy I don't know if I found a rope or lost my horse!!!"
We made it home Tuesday around 1:30p.m. we went over 2400 miles and never saw a wreck but got to LaFeria and there was a big wreck on the Westbound side. A suv smashed into a truck which had stopped on the expressway and had the orange cones out, the lady hit the driver of the truck and the back of the truck, then the driver of the truck walked around and got hit by another car, the lady had a 2 year old in her car. All three were taken to the hospital. I just heard today the lady died.
Sure thought the campout went well. We ate pretty good! Every night! fresh sweet corn, fresh tomatos,cucumbers, etc. Lots of home grown vegy's, Shermans provided quite a bit and also some really delicious fresh peaches from Illinois. Gibbs brought them. We did a variety of things during the day...some went tubing, others shopping in nearby towns,and golfing. We gathered for an evening meal every night and Sherman made some neat camp fires.
There were over 80 people there this year. Some camped and some came by for the day! On the Smile box below BESURE TO CLICK ON THE LITTLE PICTURES ON THE RIGHT OF THE BIGGER PICTURE. This is on the first slide show I did.When you click on the little pics on the right, they will get large so you can view them.
So far there are know new cards to sign, that's always nice to see a clean board,if you know what I mean. At coffee and donuts this morning Bobby said no one had anything to say!!That's unusual. They had a bean feed here while we were gone.
Del and Beverly Telfor provided the donuts.
We went to Mexico this morning! There is so much traffic now on Texas as 1015 is still closed, lots and lots of trucks. When we went over that big bridge where the turf farm is, we were sure surprised! Before we left it was all water everywhere under it, now it's mostly gone down. When we got to the border the street just before you cross the bridge for 20 feet or so,terrible shape it was all rolly polly!!! I guess from all the truck traffic, they will surely be fixing that soon. There were quite a few police with machine guns after we crossed over. And maybe being it was Friday lots of people over there. We had no problem getting a parking spot when we went in but coming out it looked like most parking on the main street was taken. We heard the streets were quite empty and some businesses close because not many folks going over there. It must be getting better. We went to a Pharmacy then took a walk down to a mall where the Dentist Diana is located. There sat Frank Willard waiting on Phylliss. He said Diana wasn't in but her husband was. It's
pretty slow there the receptionist told us. By the way to who it may concern......
Absolute, Vodka was $16.00..... We went with Clara and Larry, our Assistant mgrs. and we ate breakfast at the Bakery. Guess what? No sweet rolls at all, shelves empty except for Boleos, a thick sugar cookie and biscuits, I asked the one waiter where's the sweet rolls and he just said there aren't any. Maybe they don't bake all those goodies on a daily basis when the Winter people aren't coming over. We asked for a breakfast taco each and we got, one taco, a pile of lettuce, with a tomato slice, about 5 French fries, and little refried beans. lol It was pretty tasty. There were 2 boys playing their guitars and singing and coming around for tips. We had only a couple cars to wait on at the bridge. It looked like they were being quite thorough
at the bridge, they had 2 cars pulled over both of them looked like old people, standing outside of their cars while they searched...My gosh, I couldn't believe it!
Well, that's all for now, I will post if there's anything interesting happen!!
