The Health Fair that wasn't

Yesterday when I went to the P.O. Box noticed a lot of purple flyer's.  Curiosity got the best of me and was pleasantly surprised that a Health Fair was going to be held at the County facilities close to mother's house. We do not  have many and when we do they are usually held in town (we live in the county) and I end up finding out about them after the fact.

It was going to be held this morning from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. which is odd in and of itself since it is a weekday and most people are at work.  Mornings do not work for me as I have to help mother get dressed and serve her breakfast, wash dishes, etc. etc. but I made it at 10:30 a.m. only to find that most booths were gone because very few people showed up.

I was hoping to have them check my cholesterol to see if these pills the doctor prescribed are really working. The main thing though was to have them check my glucose level which I am really trying hard to lower as I do not want to become a diabetic.  Guess I will just have to wonder for a little longer or until I have time to go to Mexico for blood work.

We got a reprieve today and only reached 85 degrees (29 Celsius).

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Groovy Wednesday

The weather has been spectacular, as a matter of fact yesterday (Tuesday) we broke the old time record of 84 degrees for this day when we hit 85 glorious degrees.  Today was in the low 80's as well but tonight old man winter is on its way.

Have been busy going to the laundromat, watering plants (they advise you do it before a freeze) raking leaves, washing cars and this afternoon putting everything away as the winds are supposed to kick up to 40 plus miles per hour.

This morning I made a quick trip to the post office as well as to HEB.  There in the parking lot I spotted a groovy looking bus.  I spoke to the lady driver and she said they were from Ontario, Canada.  Takes you back to the 60's doesn't it?





They seemed friendly and I would have loved to have chatted with them but I was in a hurry to get back home in order to watch Jenni Rivera's funeral.

Gas went down some more but not to the under $3.00 level that I see in the news for San Antonio and the Greater Houston area.


Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
