Christmas eve we had a scoff in the clubhouse, then Christmas day we ate again at 2 pm, pot luck, what a great variety of food, then we took home plates to eat later that night. Boxing day it blew and blew and blew, winds up to 47 miles an hour. In Northern Texas, 11 people died in tornadoes, a total of 23 people died due to storms on Christmas and Boxing day. Most of the damage was 250 miles north of us. Looking forward to eating at the clubhouse again New Years eve, a fish fry put on by the campground owners. First of February we are heading to Mission, Texas for a few days to the Snowbird Extravaganza. We will see, Jimmy Flynn, Bowser & Blue, Michelle Wright, Tom Leadbetter, we met people here in the park from Woodstock NB, we will visit them in Mission, they also know Jimmy Flynn, she used to hire him for shows in Woodstock.

Well settled in to Amigo Park, in Zapata, Texas. Oranges and pink grapefruit to be picked right outside our door, temps in the 80's everyday. Other than enjoying the Sun, and listening to Cove FM from Eastern Passage at home, radios here pretty well only speak Spanish, we can only once again rave about the cost of living here compared to home. Wine is three dollars a liter instead of $10.00 at home, 30 beer is $20.00 instead of 50.00 at home, groceries are two-thirds , the best of BBQ steak is half what it is home, our camping site is $6.00 per day compared to $25.00 at home. Gas is one third of cost at home, add 26 cents on every Cdn dollar we spend and you still come out far ahead. For our six dollars a day we get free wi-fi and free TV. The games room in the clubhouse has a shuffleboard, we are enjoying that!
