The time since we arrived at Ranchero Village has flown by, even
quicker than usual by meeting dozens of new people in the new park and getting
acclimated to the way things are done here by the long-time Winter Texans who
have flocked here for years. We have made some amazingly wonderful new friends
and reunited with friends from past years here in Weslaco.
CC and I are both on a quest to shed a few pounds, so we have been
eating more responsibly and preparing more meals versus going out to eat and
not knowing exactly how the food is prepared. One thing is for certain here in
the RGV, if the tortilla chips taste good, they have been fried in lard! It’s
especially hard for CC to resist, considering chips and salsa are one of her
primary food groups; but I must admit, she is doing quite well at resisting the
temptation. Another helpful activity in our quest is Happy Hour; everyday at 4
pm. Helpful because here at this new park, food and snacks are omitted, unlike
past years; eliminating that aspect HAS to help, right?
On December 7, the Welcome Back Winter Texan Appreciation Day was
held in Nuevo Progreso, MX, a mere 6 miles south of us. When they advertised
free food, drinks and gifts, we were “all in”. To begin the day, we met a group
of friends from last year for breakfast at Rene’s Bakery in NP around 8 am, and
from there it was on to El Disco for one of Tony’s famous margaritas. It’s 5
o’clock somewhere, right? From there, we ventured outside and strolled along
the sidewalk and watched the parade, various street performers, and the beer
girls. It’s a tough life.
Until next time, take care and stay well………………..
yep every function here at Bentsen Palms RV Parks involve bringing food to it... we love happy hour get togethers but have missed many since we don't want to eat every time we sit down to chat...
