But pumpkin bread is better. Hope you enjoy it. <br />And thanks again for your avocados!! Maybe we should move where they are grown....Nope. California too expensive, and Mexico, well.... I hear the cartels are heavy into taking over the avocado farmers in Mexico. Such a sad sad sad thing. Always, for Mexico. I hate that, because the people in general are so wonderful. And keep trying.

Being that this was important and that many Del Rioans rely on them for our city news they covered it. The San Antonio news outlets or at least the ones I watch did not mention it until their ten o'clock news.<br /><br />You live in a beautiful state but it is very expensive and cold! If it got down to 10-degrees I would classify that as freezing and might have to pull a Ted Cruz and head to Cancún!!! I hope you soon see some precipitation hopefully in the form of rain and not snow.<br /><br />La Casa De Los Famosos ended Monday, November 15th, and I was not happy with the outcome. I will need to let some time pass before I can write a small summary without it being profanity-laced like every word that came out of its winner Alicia Machado's mouth during her stay there.<br />MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-29953060483603511772021-11-20T13:13:31.896-08:002021-11-20T13:13:31.896-08:00P.S.

I don't know why I didn't know about this sooner! Use shaving cream to clean your lenses. Tiny pea sized dab and then smear all around both sides, then polish off with soft cloth. Yes, it is safe for lenses, I checked. And it works a charm. Also works on your bathroom mirror to prevent fogging. I used Barbasol. One buck from Dollar Tree. When I first tried it, I used too much on my glasses and it was a mess to get off, but now I will never use anything else.

He probably has a powerful of money and no regard for others. I think change is the only thing that is sure these days. <br />I saw the news about the awful plane crash there at Laughlin. Very sad.<br />Those avocado prices are amazing. They still cost an arm and a leg here and are usually very poor quality. I try not to think about guacamole anymore. It is too painful. That is an excellent price on carrot cake. It is my favorite cake, too. A slice like that here is about $3.79, so I usually make my own. I use a box cake mix but doctor it to make it much better. I like pumpkin baked goods and could live on pumpkin pie. One of my Louisiana fans sent a new recipe I am going to try. I usually prefer easy recipes, but this sounds yummy.<br />Your gas prices are great. Cheapest here is $3.38 and I pay more as my truck requires the medium button. <br />We have had a few cold nights here. It got down to 10* on Tuesday night. Still no snow, which is scary because of our drought. <br />I hope you will give us an update on your favorite show. What is the latest?<br />Stay safe and well my friend.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869670673483172196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-10258104352798543562021-11-19T18:51:59.033-08:002021-11-19T18:51:59.033-08:00I have used Walmart Eye Center in the past since m...I have used Walmart Eye Center in the past since my former Opthomologist practice was in Piedras Negras (across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas). Walmart accepted and perhaps still accepts prescriptions from Mexican doctors but that was a long time ago. While the drive was two hours round trip it took forever to cross the International Bridge adding an hour or more to the trip so I decided to go to a local one and chose him.<br /><br />The guy did seem to be in shock and though I am sure they will receive a severance package that will not last forever and it's not like we have many employment options in town.<br />MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-40326887478155440742021-11-19T18:17:57.797-08:002021-11-19T18:17:57.797-08:00I do believe HEB has a non-compete agreement but I...I do believe HEB has a non-compete agreement but I do not know for how long. Del Rio has grown a lot in the past twenty years and we need another grocery option besides Walmart.<br /><br />I had to take that photo of the avocados for you. They were regular size and quite good.<br /><br />I have never tasted pumpkin bread before since I do not like pumpkins that was Franklin Souze who mentioned it. My favorites are carrot and also red velvet cake.<br /><br />The same thought crossed my mind he had to have a clue he was going to shut down his practice. The technician said that he was aware that he had been trying to sell the building for a while. With the migrant crisis, he thinks a government agency purchased it at the asking price. Though he had no idea the doctor would be retiring and leaving town.<br />MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-85015298654035074722021-11-19T18:04:11.164-08:002021-11-19T18:04:11.164-08:00What a shock for his employees right in time for t...What a shock for his employees right in time for the holidays. Seem like most places I worked did thing like this. I wouldn't advise Walmart eye center they are terrible. I used to go there all the time but the I received glass once that were so strong they almost made me vomit I told them I was not paying for or taking them. Her response was maybe you just need to wear them for awhile, not happening then they no longer bothered to adjust them to fit they just handed them to you and that was it.<br />Wish our gas would come down but since this is a snow bird town it just isn't going to happen JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-35142601393868117912021-11-19T17:32:00.908-08:002021-11-19T17:32:00.908-08:00Aha!

Thank you. <br />Geez. Sounds like your eye doc didn't let people know what was going on....surely he had a clue! Well, maybe he's in trouble of some kind.<br />Good for you to have some carrot cake and pumpkin bread. I do envy you your having an HEB. People in this town are always longing for one. But apparently they have a non-compete agreement with someone....maybe not. I hear that years ago about them and Kroger's. But Kroger's is long gone.
