A VISIT WITH MOM AND SYLVAN IN TEXAS!

Mom and Sylvan on Sunday morning ready to go to church.

Wednesday, February 2nd we arrived in the deep south at Mission Texas. Who said it's warm there in February. We are as far south as we can get in the United States and are greeted with 35 degrees the first day and then on down to the 20's and an ice storm. We went outside the next morning and thought it was hailing.

While visiting Mom (Grandma) and Sylvan, we discovered they had very little water pressure. Les said, "We have to do something about this." So on Friday Les cut into one of the water pipes and as you can see in one of the pictures, the pipe was almost totally blocked. So what a blessing, Les replaced the pipe and wow! Now Mom and Sylvan have lots of water pressure to take a shower, flush the toilet and run water in the sink. Les, you can fix anything!!! Thanks!

Mom and I went shopping while they were doing the repairs as they had to turn the water off. So we went to Mimi's Cafe for lunch! Mom walks with a cane or walker and becomes short of breath with little exertion so we didn't venture out very far after that. Mom loves to play cards, so we played some golf most every night; with a bonus night at the recreation hall with an Elvis impersonator. We were glad we made the trip down to see them in spite of the weather. By the way, it did get up in the 70's on Saturday and 80's on Sunday.
