A Great week

for the most part, down here in the Rio Grande Valley. 70's plus on the weather station scale, not much wind until today, Sunday. Golf league and scramble were real golf, you did not have to guess about your club. I shot a sweet 39 on my own, our three some had a 5 under par to win last week's scramble. I sold the mobile home, Monday I will get the paperwork to finalize the deal and get my money. Friday I went with a group on a bike ride to Mexico. We had to drive 70 miles to Roma Texas. We were supposed to go to a school for entertainment, but that was not to be, a big sore point for the bike riders. It was an enjoyable ride none the less, to a very poor town on the border, Miguel Aleman, Mex. Today, Sunday, I went to do laundry early morning. A little before 10 am there is great traffic to attend church services. I saw an elderly man trying to get in the gate, I went to help, it was Bob, an Iowan that I had breakfast with last week. He said, "I was the one who was shot!" I was shocked. Bob and his wife were going home, the other night, when he was hit in the neck. 5 hours of surgery. Bob is around 80 years old. A tough SOB. There is a levee that surrounds our RV park to help protect us from floods. In the distance south, open fields and when I am working late at night cleaning swimming pools, I hear the gun shots. One night last week I know I heard machine gun shots. Bob did not get hit by random violence, you need a clicker to get in the gate to our park. I think the guns were firing and one was caught by the wind..unless there was someone standing on the resaca and shot when this person saw someone in the park....go figure......
Today, Sunday, I ordered a 21 foot by 40 inch high screen to block the wind so my tomato plants have a chance to bloom. I have a lot of small toms, none red yet. LIFE IS GOOD.....no sense in being scared about bullets. I believe when my time is up, it happens. Neil Diamond is performing on the Grammy's tonight, I hope it is before I turn on Brothers and Sisters......carry on my friends, I will post some photos soon from the Mexico trip...which you will see before you read this....HAHAHAHAHA......
