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.

My new apparel aced the test

It was cold today and once again I forgot something on my list so had to drive back into town.  I wore my new Terlingua jacket and coat, I have to say that I was toasty warm. Therefore, I consider that they aced the apparel test for the Chili Cook-off.

Made a stop at the library where they had a cart full of free books. I found one that interested me until I realized what the heck I was doing...I do not need more books in the house!

Stopped and picked up some dinner plates at Stripes when I noticed that the price for gasoline was now $1.99 per gallon and I had just seen the price at HEB to be $1.85 so drove back to HEB and saved myself .14 cents per gallon.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
