On the first day of 2022 we set a new all time record high

I was outside since early morning raking, picking up trash, hanging clothes, and ironically preparing for the frigid temperatures this evening would bring, and frankly, it got rather warm.  I would later learn that Del Rio set a new all-time record high when it reached 89 degrees this afternoon.

Even at 10:01 p.m. this evening it was a warm 74 degrees in comparison to other parts of Texas where the cold front had already passed.

Today I made another trip to Stripes to pick up some dinner plates. I had never seen shrimp cooked like this so picked one up with a side of red rice and beans, and a flour tortilla...

Along with half a chicken plate with red rice, green beans, and its accompanying flour tortilla...

I have no idea why the food pictures are looking so tiny...😕...BTW all lunch and dinner plates cost $5.99 plus tax much cheaper and healthier than a greasy hamburger and I do not have to drive to the north part of town to get it.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

A beautiful sunny 89 degree Winter Day

It was foggy this morning and on the cool side. It was not heavy jacket weather but cool enough for me to wear a blazer.

I went to check out winter clearance items at Marshall's but they have not been marked down enough to my satisfaction...will perhaps pay them another visit next week.

Why is the expiration date on Harbor Freight coupons printed so small? Or perhaps it is just my eyes?  Had cut out two 20 percent off coupons only to learn they expired earlier this month. I had to go back to the car to get my cellphone only not to be able to access my e-mail account. Oh well, I really did not need that tarp.

I wanted to go to Dollar Tree but there was a homeless man asking for money almost by their door.  I have noticed we have had an increase of homeless people and panhandlers in the city.  Wonder if they are coming from California?  Read they have a serious problem in the Los Angeles area.

Did a quick grocery run to Walmart instead. I was surprised that even though it was a national holiday there were not many people there. I supposed they spent their money on their sweeties on Valentine's Day.

The trees are blooming all over town. These were by Jack in the Box.

There are many lush trees down the main drag but I could not safely pull over to take a picture.

We had a low of 63 and a high of 89 degrees today. However, Old Man Winter is going to make an appearance late Tuesday night and bring with it much needed rain.

Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
