We are well into the New Year, I wonder how long it will take to remember to write 2023 instead of 2022. We are enjoying beautiful weather here in the Rio Grande Valley which has been really nice. It has been very much like the winters down here that we enjoyed when we first started coming down which was in 2000 when we came for just a week, visited Chet & Irma and stayed at the Super 8. After that we came for increasingly longer visits until I retired from printing and we bought our first RV, our little Safari Trek. The winters back then were so nice and then we started having the winters with big changes every few days, hot, cold, sunny, rainy etc. This winter has been very pleasant, yes we have a cold front come through now and then and except for the one before Christmas which was really cold and in fact below freezing, the cold fronts are really only cool fronts and the temps stay comfortable.
We visited with the Brookers the other day over at Trophy Gardens and of course, here at Trails End we see Magnolia people every day. Joe and Cheryl Raleigh have arrived and it was good to see them again as they hadn't been here for the winter since their mobile was moved over from Magnolia. Terry Froseth has grown a big bushy beard and has just a bit longer hair. I hardly recognized him but as soon as he speaks, you know it's Terry.
Believe it or not we've been birding only once as we have been busy in our mobile getting it the way we want it. We have to go again very soon as there is a rare bird over at Estero Llano World Birding Center which is our favorite place to go anyway and very handy as it's just a couple of miles away.
If you have news you want to share to the Magnolia family about yourself or about any of our former neighbors in Magnolia, please do let me know. We do wonder about a lot of people that we no longer see and wonder how they all are. We are all getting older so one does wonder.
If you are here in the Valley or back home "up north" we would love to hear from you.
