Awake: 7:24am Temp 49 sleep 7+07 rain & TRW’s overnight @ Mission, TX.
30 min of exercise with Gilad; no air conditioning necessary; we didn’t turn on the heat last night.
K & I drive to the nearest Post Office & send a few valentine packages. Then we do some light grocery shopping @ the HEB store.
My sister Corinne calls from Lilly, PA. We both have a nice chat…..sharing cell phone time.
Our forwarded mail from Alaska arrives today in the campground mail room. I just about finished reading the last bunch of magazines & now, I have more.
Call my cousin Roger in Harlingen, TX. I like to keep in touch with him while we’re touring around Texas. He’s been living down here for over 30 yrs & knows more than we do about this lower valley area we are touring.
Call Kevin in Indiana, PA. I haven’t talked with him for awhile. We tried to update each other but my timing was poor; the boys were bundled up for a walking trip to the nearby grocery store; it’s winter in Indiana.
K & I attend the 4:00pm Mass @ Our Lady of Guadalupe church. This time we arrived (2) min earlier than last week….still extremely crowded but managed to find a space up close to the front. In the same pew, we meet Mary & Don P. from Monkey Island, OK. They are staying in the same campground so we agree to get together sometime next week. Father Roy must be a real country western fan; this week’s homily on St. Valentine and the meaning of Valentine’s Day was concluded with a recording of George Straight singing, “It Just Comes Natural.”
And I love you
It just comes natural
It just comes natural
Seasons change, rivers wind
Tumble weeds roll and the stars shine
Wind howls, dawn breaks
Cowboys ride and time slips away
And I love you
It just comes natural
It's what I was born to do, don't have to think it through
Baby, it's so easy lovin' you
It just comes natural
En route back to our bus, we top off the Suzuki’s fuel tank @ $1.99 per gallon.
6:45 dinner: Leftover sweet & sour pork, brown rice, corn off the cob & toast.
Late movie: “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” with Kirk Douglas, James Mason, Paul Lukas, Peter Lorre, etc. 19th-century scientist Lukas & sailor Douglas get involved with power-hungry Captain Nemo (Mason) who operates futuristic submarine. 1954. You got to see this one; it’s a classic!
K & I work crossword puzzles in bed.
