February  20th Wednesday
Today is the Big Day for Dan and I.. Before we left Texas last winter, we made arrangements to host a Heartland Meet in Greet here at Southern Oaks.  It was a gamble to see how many would come for the event.  Today it was a great success. 55 people came and there was alot of food and fun and laughs. We hired a band to come and play for a couple of hours and everyone had a good time.  It reminded me of the good ole days back in Wisconsin when we would have our pig roasts and we had over 100 people coming to eat and dance.  The only thing that was missing was the campfire.  No campfires in Texas, there are enough of wild fires..   So, a good time was had by all.  Now, some are looking forward to another one next year.  



We had 55 Heartlander's attend and we had The Winter Texan Band come and play for us.






Everyone had a great time and alot had asked if we are going to have another one next year..




February  21st  Thursday
Today is a Rest and Relax day....  I had some other fun things planned but I cancelled them due to lack of interest.  

February  22nd   Friday
It was 64 degrees at 7 AM when we got up, wind coming from the North.  Wish that they would keep in north. Dan and I had some errands to run in the morning and then we had a dinner for Heartland at San Juan Mexican on Port Aransas..



We had 24 people and I have to say that the food was good, service was great and food came out hot and in a timely matter, and their margarita's were good.

Then for some of us we went for dessert at Dairy Queen for dessert..










February  23rd   Saturday
Up early again and my foot was acting up again with the pain.  I hobbled around and sat with my leg elevated and had the heated throw on it,    I decided that I would bit a bullet and go to Paws and Taws with Eileen for  their Arts and Craft show.  I had my cane and that helped me a lot. There was a lot of the same items at the other shows we had been to. Then we stopped on the way back to a gift shop to look at their shirts, then on to Bealls, and then to Wal-mart to pick up a few items I needed.  I made dinner for the 4 of us and I did not have any dessert so we went to Dairy Queen later for dessert (Ice Cream)..

February  24th   Sunday   Race Day.....Daytona  500

51 degrees this morning and it is foggy around the Coastal Bend.. Made some Poppers and Dan made little wieners wrapped in bacon and rolled in brown sugar.  Eileen and Ron came over and they brought crackers and cheese and some other goodies.. We watched the race and Danica did not win, but she did a good job keeping up with the Big Boys.

Another week gone and now, it is a countdown to weeks when we leave.. Where did the time go....
