They're back!!!!

There were 2 to 4 Martins on their house going in and out the apartments all week, we were thinking they were the "Scouts" and would bring the other birds....well...Saturday morning at daylight I looked out at their house and I couldn't believe my eyes, there were atleast 25 to 30 birds on the house.
Later I counted 37 but I think there's more than that...Some were in the back perching on a wire.

I like to hear their chirping, some look to be young, maybe they were the ones born here last Summer and have returned.

Monday Jan. 19th

The new ER is right on Expressway 83 frontage road, grand opening Jan. 24th 9:00 to Noon

The new ER is now open...if you need emergency care, when you go there and they need to send you to a hospital you won't have to go through the emergency room but can go directly to a room.

The STHS ERs at Weslaco and Mission will feature:

• 14 private treatment rooms
• Emergency room trained physicians and nurses
• Diagnostic imaging services: CT scans, X-ray, ultrasound, bone density, mammography
• 24-hour lab services
• Cardiopulmonary monitoring
• Respiratory treatments
• Intravenous medications and fluids
• Ambulance bay
• Direct admission to hospital bed, not hospital ER
• On-site pharmacy

With diagnostic or lab appointments available on a same-day, walk-in basis, patients can get test results more quickly. An on-site pharmacy allows patients to pick up medications without having to make another stop on their way home.

“The STHS ERs are all about convenience and bringing quality care closer to the growing populations on both ends of our metro area,” says Jason Chang, CEO of McAllen Heart Hospital and an STHS ER project manager. “As neighborhood emergency care centers serving both local and seasonal residents, the Weslaco and Mission ERs will provide a convenient, comfortable atmosphere close to home.”

Hill Billy Sock Hop

Sorry the only 50's sock hop back ground for my smile box is the record one where pictures I import are in a round frame, so the pictures I took of a large group or close up of 4 or 5 people had to be divided between 2 pictures, if you can understand what I mean...any way enjoy!

We had our annual caroling and golf cart parade last night, the carolers sounded awesome! Leading the parade was John Geer on his motorcycle followed by Brock in his Van with speakers on the back and then the carolers with mikes and the sound was really cool! Santa (Paul Sprague) looked really neat and when going by the Motel several little kids came running to the fence and put their little arms out to Santa, it was real cute. then afterwards to the hall for snacks.

Driving around the park looking at all the decorated mobiles, park models and r.v.s very lovely decorations, the nativity scene in front of the park office is so pretty!

Poor "Frosty" melted away
