We were so blessed again this year to have Lori & Greg spend Christmas week with us. They arrived on the 22nd and spent eight days with us. Sunday we took our annual trip to Nuevo Progresso, Mexico to stock up on medications and liquor.
Christmas Eve we attended a dessert social here at the park, followed by 10:30 mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. It was a beautiful service with the youth from the parish acting out the Nativity with a live donkey and the cutest little Mexican children dressed as angels. Christmas Day we had an afternoon dinner in the clubhouse, followed by a swim in the pool for the kids, and Ray and I working at the evening dinner.
Wednesday is our usual bowling day, so Lori and Greg went to breakfast at Taco Ole next to the bowling alley and then bowled a few games while we bowled with the league. Ray and I had to work Margarita night at the clubhouse so Lori & Greg joined in the fun, sitting with other people from the park and visiting with other young folks who were there visiting their parents for the holiday. The evening was complete with Lori winning the 50/50 raffle for a net of $86.00.
Friday was a busy day for us. We took a 3 hour pontoon boat ride on the Rio Grande River (more details in next blog), followed by the Hidalgo Festival of Lights in the evening.
Their final day with us, we took them to the flea market, shopping and had a wonderful huge lunch at Costa Mesa Mexican restaurant (our favorite and theirs now too). Lori & I played card bingo (not so lucky) while the guys stayed behind to watch T.V.
Sunday it was off to the airport with a few tears shed. We only wish that Raymond could have been here with us too!
