Today, it was cool and cloudy with the promise of some showers later in the day. Evelyn went to Hondo to go shopping to make preparation for our leaving here on Wednesday. That is, if it is not raining or too windy. We have the motor home pretty well ready to travel. However, after the first few turns and stops you find things that you did not stow properly and all you have to do is pick them up off of the floor and put them away.
The photos are of our beautiful Yellow Rose of Texas. It has been loaded with blooms and still has a lot of buds just ready to pop, however, the 21 degree morning about did it in. We did cover it up but that was really cool that night and I am not sure it will survive. The blossoms look pretty sad. We left copies of the flower for the owners of the lot where we are staying.
I played bridge this afternoon. Not really good cards, a couple of good hands but that was all. Afterwards we had a special event, ice cream tin roof sundays. I had never had one of these, however, it is ice cream with chocolate syrup with peanuts on top. Quite tasty, I must say. Not much appetite for supper with ice cream at 4pm. Probably have some pop corn and hit the sack and let the digestive system rest.

With the cold front moving across the country, it appears to be cold everywhere with snow in areas not used to snow. Maybe it will be warmer in Mesa when we get there. Not supposed to be in Yuma until after the first of the year. It should be warmer down there, if anywhere.
We had a couple here for the weekend and they were asking about problems crossing the Mexican border. They had heard that many RV had been stopped and searched. One member stated that they had been down the Baja without any problems. This couple had been going to Mexico for over 20 years without much trouble. They really looked old, I mean in their 80's or more, but so it is with the life on the road. They were traveling in a class C that looked to be about 25' or so and fairly new. Good for them.
One of the members, a single gal, lives in a Park Model and has a big 1 ton truck and a 5th wheel. She said she was tired of dragging the big 5th wheel around and was looking for a smaller motor home, maybe a class C. I find it hard to visualize a single gal, probably near 65 or so with a big 5'er dragging it around. But, everyone to their own desires.
