Robbers in the park

This is our welcoming shed at the RGV livestock show. We hand out our stock show schedules.



Just a few of the prize cattle the kids have raised.








We arose to exercise this morning and meet at the park meeting. There was not much business except that there seems to be an organized group preparing to loot many people in the park. A white van has been seen driving around. We learned later in the day that many of the Rvs in the “bull pen” where the inactive Rvs are parked have had the doors “jimmied” and the perpetrators are expected to come back soon to finish the collection. Several residents have been robbed already. We have been blessed so far. Perhaps because we are in a location where permanent houses are in back. It would be difficult to get between the fences in back. We left the meeting at 10 and had to come home so Evelyn could shower. I had wanted to run three errands on the way but couldn’t because we were supposed to be there at 11. We worked at the same location as last year but this time passed out a schedule to people entering. On the back was a sheet of pictures and directions for a scavenger hunt. The people were to have 5 of 8 pictures stamped, fill out a registration, and return it to be entered in a drawing to win 2 tickets on Southwest Airline. Many people were interested. We worked with a man from Ontario who wants to raise money for Mable’s free clinic. The board will be glad to meet him. A “cold” front came through, dropping the temperature from 86 to 72 and lowering the humidity. We worked until 2:30 and then walked around the stock show grounds looking at some of the exhibits and cattle judging. We came home and Evelyn took a nap while I washed the car. We had delicious leftover chicken and a salad. We enjoyed a cool evening at home.
