Days 117 & 118 - Tuesday & Wednesday, March 25 & 26

 Tuesday morning I went back up to the Cowboy Church and helped with the announcers stand.

This will get sided, for storage, and this level will get a plywood floor. A roof will be added above this level. The high for the day  was 88 degrees. It was hot and humid. The guy on the left is Manuel, he works at the Ranch. The guy on the right is Marty. He is another Winter Texan who attends the Cowboy Church. He and his wife are at a different campground down here. Up north they live in Michigan's "thumb".

This is looking the other way at the arena.

These are the sorting pens on the other side of the announcers stand.

Neither Kathy nor I remember seeing corn down here when we have been here before. Maybe we have left before it came up. This is a field next to the Cowboy Church. On our way back from the flea market on Wednesday we saw a field with knee high corn.

Today we went over to the DonWes flea market and bought a couple of bags of grapefruit and a bag of onions to take back with us. The "Veggieman" was almost sold out of grapefruit. Probably a lot of us Winter Texans stocking up before heading north. It rained big time, for down here, while we were at the flea market and when we got out of the car for lunch. We got soaked. The flea market is in Donna, TX about 20 miles west of us. When we got back to the campground it had not rained at all. We did get a very brief light shower in the afternoon.

Tonight was our last potluck dinner down here for the season. There were probably only about 35 people. Again, lots of folks have already headed north. All the food was not on the tables at this time, there are always leftovers for folks to take home.

We had planned to leave tomorrow or Friday but with rain and winds in the forecast for both days we decided we will wait and leave on Saturday.

God is good. I pray that He bless you and yours. He has blessed me.
