Another wonderful sunny day in Mexico with friends. We like Progresso much more than Algodones. Posted by Picasa

Another birthday party for me. I love me. This is a beautiful big bag with pictures of good friends on it. I love it, thank you Martha and Gene! Anyone else that feels like buying me presents can do so. Ha Ha


A special order from new friend Corraine. She is a Red Hat lady can you tell?


A corn husk doll from Mexico.


Betsy & John Crawford, Gene and Martha Merryman and us at the Orange Citrus Fiesta.


Gordon shared his 66th birthday with Gib who 82 years young.


Here is a dress I bought for my neice. All sequence.
This is how the ROPA- clothes comes in. Then they are brought to the huge warehouse and you just jump on top and start digging for your size.
FUN, FUN FUN!


This is ROPA. New and used clothes for sale. The best part is it cost 20 cents a pound. I have totally changed my whole wardrobe for a few dollars. OH HAPPY DAYS!

Still in Alamo!

We are still here and having the best time.
Shopping, eating, partying and playing games, what fun!

Martha and Gene Merryman and Betsy and John Crawford are here also. Tonight we are playing games at Martha and Genes.

I am always getting so tired. I can hardly keep up with the 70 year olds here. That is not a joke.

Alamo, Texas

We have been in Alamo for more than one week now. We are very happy here. We are with 8 other couples that we met last summer in Silverton and Montrose, Colorado. We go to dances every Wednesday and Fridays. We go shopping once a week in a huge warehouse with mountains of clothes. The best part of this shopping trip is that it cost $.20 a pound. Oh yeah I have a new wardrobe. I will send some pictures when I can.

Again I cannot upload pictures!

I do not know for sure what the problem is but I cannot add pictures. I have been trying for weeks. The picture of Mike was posted by our son in Davis, CA.

We has a really good visit with Mike and his family. We were in Casa Grande, AZ.

We left after being there for 4 days then on to Las Cruces, New Mexico to visit friends there. Two days there then on to Van Horn, Texas waiting for our mail. We think we will be in Alamo, TX in a day or two and we plan to spend several months there with our new friends we met in Colorado this summer. The weather is warm, perfect for driving. Maggie, (our rig) is doing just fine. A nice smooth ride and we are getting 8 to 9 miles per gallon. We are happy.

On our way to Casa Grande, AZ

We are making a unexpected trip to Casa Grande to see our grandson, Mike. He called us after receiving our Christmas card. To our surprise he has moved from Michigan to Arizona and we are stopping for a weekend visit. Gordon and I are so happy that we can see him. We think it has been over 8 years since we saw him last. I will post pictures soon.

Happy New Year!
The picture below is me, Laura, Jan, Gretchen and Barry!
