Bloom (wherever) You are Planted

As many of you know we went down to south Texas to visit my folks. Mom is 86 now and still doing quite well. She is somewhat forgetful but was able to learn and then play a couple of new games with us. "Up words" is one game they play regularly and bridge and of course golf. So that is pretty good.

An alternate form of transportation, but they walk at least 2 times a day. They walk quite fast and go all over the park.






Wayne plays pool every day, he is quite good and really likes it. They live within their income and are very careful with their finances.












Things that grow in McAllen are all citrus, grapefruit(Texas Ruby Red), oranges, lemons and limes, papaya, and the favorite AVOCADOS, not to mentions figs and gardenias.













Their home looks just about the same.







The first full day after we got there, LaVar woke up in the morning saying he wanted to go to South Texas College and as them if they wanted a Economics teacher. There is a whole story with that but the short version is we happened on a guy that was elated to talk with us and yes, they were actually looking for a teacher with Dad's creditials and he gave us all a tour of the campus and told us all kinds of wonderful things about the place. I didn't get a picture of that campus, but he also told us that Pan Am was also looking for someone and we could also check them out.....






Mom went to church with us and said as she always does, that she enjoyed it..... So it seems that we feel we should be moving to South Texas, we have been working on getting things paired down yet again and plan on getting our house on the market this next week. This is a terrible time to sell, there are a flood of homes in our area that are for sale, etc. But we will see.
As I see it, if we have to stay here in this gorgious area, near the beach for at least one more year, LaVar making good money, I will not complain. You are all still invited to come, we would more than love that.




On the other hand to be with a great lady, friend, and my mom...... that would, no will, be just great!! Thus the title, wherever, we are planted.
