Julio's goes Nationwide

With these temperatures, I have not been doing much to blog about.  Drove into town to pick up some groceries to tie us over for the long holiday weekend as I do NOT plan to leave the house.

On my last trip to Ciudad Acuña, I bought several heads of lettuce at the equivalent of .42 American cents. Today I purchased one for $1.29 at HEB...I could have bought three for the same price in Mexico.

Avocados are very expensive so passed on them and I can not buy them in Mexico as you can not legally bring them back to the USA.  I even bought me a bottle of wine.  Though I must admit I kept on hearing the voice of my late mechanic saying to me..."Belinda why are you buying f*#)&#g wine when you prefer beer?".  Potty mouth and all...I sure do miss him :-(

I do not know what they are called, you know the machines where you buy newspapers from.  Anyway, I spotted a headline of interest on the Del Rio News-Herald outside of HEB...but since I am frugal...passed on buying it and decided to head to the library to read it for free.  If Billy Bob still reads my blog I am convinced that he would be cracking up by now.  I do not recall his exact saying but something to the effect of being so tight I needed to be wound?  Lol, Billy Bob, I miss you and your blog!

This was the headline that I wanted to read.  It makes me so proud but mostly because it shows that hard work and effort can pay off and it puts Del Rio on the national map.

Wherever you are reading me from if you see a Julio's product you know they come from Del Rio, Texas.  Wish Don Julio had lived to see this day.

Today we had a high of 104, low of 77. 


Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
