34 degrees @ 6:30 AM.. Dan and I left for an overnight trip to the Rio Grande Valley.. We stayed at the Drury Inn in McAllen.. What a nice hotel... We have stayed many times at them. We stopped at The Big House Brunch (formally Gems Pancake House) in Kingsville on Hwy 77... had a nice breakfast.. We went to the Flea Market in Donna, it was a nice day, had to take the jacket off.
Had gotten back to hotel and checked in, rested for awhile and then went to the lobby for HAPPY HOUR and then a light dinner which they provided. Had a nice restful evening.
By the way Herbie was at home and was being taken care of by our friends Arnold and Susan.

Dan went and had his teeth cleaned and then I had mine checked. We walked through a few stores and then got some meds for Herbie and then we went to Jessie Pharmacy for some meds and he is in a new building. Closer to the boarder and he has a restaurant and bakery, and music and people were dancing.. I have been buying meds from him since we have been going to Progresso..
