This blogs sole purpose has transitioned to one of keeping in touch with each other. Over the years it has been primarily for letting everyone know what is happening and also for promotion to add more folks to our Winter Texan family. The core of things has changed and we must change along with it. We still want to know what is happening with our friends no matter where they may be located. So continue to let us know where you are and what is on your plate.

OH SOOOOOO Behind!
Only one way to get caught up and that is to keep on posting...so you may not see things in a sequential way but I will be getting postings done raggedy-taggedy until we are caught up.
Not often do you see a bed rolling down the street! Dave and Mary Bruun get ready for guests by borrowing a roll-away from the Voss's. Then they rolled it away!

Some Miscellaneous Pictures
.
The children appear to be on their cell phones. They were toy phones. The flowers were made by the ladies of the church. Everyone went home with a prize. I won a purse and will take a photo of it and post it soon.
The fellows below did a great job of entertaining us, including a skit. Below they are hanging out after the fiesta.

A Church in Matamoros
Saturday I went to Matamoros with Bob and Rose Hendry and Nelson and Mabel Zoet. We had been invited by the Community of Christ Church in Matamoros. The purpose of the visit was to bring donations to the church so they can pay their taxes. It seems the Catholic Church does not have to pay taxes but all others do. Fair or not it is the way it is. There were about 30 of us gringos and many of them had been there many times before. The small congregation was very glad to see us and had made many preparations for us. We were entertained and fed in fine fashion and there were prizes for everyone.
Pictured above are the visitors presenting blankets and school supplies to the congregation.
Community of Christ Church Welcome
The young pastor of the church is also an engineer. He is pictured below. The baptismal font is on the left. The tables were all set for us. Fred Cole translated for us and them.
Cross the Rio Grande
One of these shows the foot traffic lined up to enter the US, another is the Rio Grande River and the third is an apartment house in Matamoros. The Rio Grande River is quite narrow at Brownsville/Matamoros.
Streets of Matamoros
Many people would not consider going to Matamoros. I did not see many gringos and the ones I did brought questions to mind as to their purpose for being there. Not at all like Nuevo Progreso.
Places of business
Stores in Matamoros. Hair Salon, fancy dresses and a tire repair business from the back side.
