The Au Naturel Games! & More...

Nature's Resort is coming over for a play date!
Sat., Jan. 31st
Are you signed up yet?

Euchre, Petanque or water volleyball...you can pick one event to participate in. Sign up in the pavilion but do it quickly as the organizers need time to, well, organize.

The weather as of yesterday looked terrible for the weekend, but today the forecast has changed and it should be sunny and in the 70's. The pool water is warm if you are leaning toward water volleyball. The teams should be about 7 to 8 per side.

The weather should be terrific for petanque, and for euchre, the weather doesn't matter. So pick one and join in with the Natures folks for a fun day.

The day will start with a pot luck breakfast...I'm gonna make ooey, gooey homemade cinnamon/pecan sticky buns!!

Lunch will be served starting at noon for a $4 donation, and we will conclude with a time of fun and laughter at our Happy Hour. For this special event, all gate and visitor fees are being waived by Sandpipers for competitors and visitors from Natures Resort.

Recommendation from Pauline:

Ernie Rodriguez is an Autoglass Certified Technician with a mobile service who fixes rock chips starting at $15.00 each and apparently can fix cracks up to 16 or maybe it’s 18 inches long. He also does head light glass restoration and quoted me $25.00 for each coach light. Personable, professional guy who enjoys imparting information to his customers. His phone number is 956-827-2710 and I have some of his business cards (Lot 49) should someone want one. Pauline

Restaurant Review Contest

It's not too late to enter the restaurant review contest. Every recommendation or warning about a dining experience will get you a chance for free lunch tickets. The drawing will be at the Feb. 1st FunBuzz. Comment here or email me NOW! Here are the latest:

The Blue Shell – across from Sam’s Club in McAllen. Rating: 5 toilet flushes (which is kind of what happened about 20 minutes after one of us actually ate). Ordered their fish and shrimp special. Got scorched beans, tasteless fish, soggy and tasteless fries and still the expectation of a check paid in full!

There is also MIMI'S CAFE that is reallyyyyy goood!(just off 83 in Mission)

*

Texas Roadhouse in McAllen for 2-Fers is a great early dinner place. I enjoyed the happy hour beer prices and the 2-Fers are $14.99 for two meals on the 2-Fer menu. We had a nice 6 oz steak with 2 sides and the sides can be healthy. The time, as I said, is early. Before 6PM Mon-Fri

*

We "dined" at the Flying J at Monte Cristo & 281. The food was fine, but the service was AUTROCIUOS (no matter how you spell it)! Would not recommend that particular Flying J to anyone!

Milano's in Weslaco has authentic Italian flavors.
For A great Italy Experience. I strongly recommend Milanos.
Located on the Victoria Road exit, between Donna and Weslaco.
Stay on frontage road and Turn on Milano Street.
It even has a street named after itself. How Kewl is that.
