hello F R O M K R IS T I
And just like that, we’re nearing the end of the season. By no means am I encouraging you to leave; we keep the party going all summer long. We start it off in April with our Converted Texan Corral April 14, where we will dance and celebrate the off season, recognizing those who stay year-round. We also have our Summer Supper Club on the horizon--scheduled to start in May--where we dine around the Rio Grande Valley, selecting a different restaurant each week and making new friends along the way. It’s a great way to try new places and let someone else do the cooking. We are also looking at doing some fun trips and tours this summer with our Converted Texans to kick off our Tour Division, something you will have to look forward to next season. Whether you stay or whether you go back home for a bit, we’re sure glad you’re here right now. • We’re just connecting the dots,
Kristi

f you attend dances in the midValley, you probably know Gus Muniz. But did you know he used to ride rodeos and that he won awards for rebuilding tractors, water and snow skied, has great-grandchildren and even great-great grandchildren, and loved to dance with his wife? Gus is from Colorado. Orphaned at the age of eight, he worked irrigating farmland and picking crops as a child. He was a small kid. When he first learned to ride horses, the saddles were too big, so he was literally strapped on at his feet. But
it wasn’t long before he was cutting cattle and doing tricks on horseback. He was a cowboy before high school and rode bulls in the smalltown rodeo circuit before he even had a driver’s license. When he worked in a junkyard as a young man, Gus taught himself how to build and re-build things like tractors and old cars. His first rebuild was a 1955 Crown Victoria. “I loved that car,” he says, with DANCING GUS CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 >>

Gail and Bruce Field
s the only Louisianans at Alamo’s Trophy Gardens RV Resort, Gail and Bruce Field take great pride in leading the Mardis Gras festivities. The couple, married 61 years, have been visiting the park for more than two decades and made it their fulltime home three years ago. Though they have brought their home-state traditions to the RGV, they’ve also fully embraced becoming Texans, and it’s had an influence on some of those traditions. For their local Mardis Gras celebration, Gail leads a team of helpers to cook a pot of gumbo for 160 people. It’s a full-day job-taking six hours--but everyone goes home happy and with their bellies full. Bruce has the drinks covered, making his renowned Bloody Marys and hurricanes. “We make them a little different here,” Gail said. “I say we make them ‘Texas style.’ We use Tampico fruit juice, and it works out really well.” March is a busy time for the pair. In that same week, they’re also involved in the city’s Texas Independence Day Parade. Gail spends weeks organizing participants from the park, including its line-dancing

group. They enter in it to win it…and they do. In recent years, they won in the categories of “Best Senior Park” and “Best Overall.” Again, they add their NOLA flair. “Our daughter brings beads, Bruce sorts them, and we throw them to people in the audience,” Gail said. “We have a lot of fun doing that, and it helps us not feel like we’re missing out so much on the parades back home.” While this is their busiest time of year, they’re never bored, always finding plenty to do. “We go to dances once, twice, sometimes three times a week,” Bruce said. “We like the local people; people down here are friendly, no matter where you go.” Whether out in town or in the park, the Fields know how to have fun. They recently bought a cherryred, custom golf cart modeled after a vintage car and equipped with a reverse camera, windshield wipers, a built-in charger, and other features. “It’s got some things you don’t need, but it was everything we wanted, and it’s been so much fun for us,” Bruce said. “Enthusiasm is contagious.” •

Comforting our Veterans with Quilts Submitted by Maureen Stinson
O
ne of the ways the Rio Grande Valley Quilt Guild members share their love of quilting is by providing military quilts for resident veterans in the Rio Grande Valley. During the Winter Texan season, the Guild has about 300 members. It is during this time that the Guild sponsors Military Sew Events in several parks in the Valley to bring volunteers together to sew and assemble the quilts. February 11, Trophy Gardens RV Park in Alamo sponsored a RGV Quilt Guild Military Sew. Volunteers from the park and Guild members from several other parks arrived to spend the day constructing and bundling quilts to be sent to a long-arm quilter for completion. There were 51 volunteers in attendance. At the end of the day, 24 quilts were bundled (matching the quilt top, batting and quilt bottom) and 16 additional quilt tops were completed. It was a very successful day! At noon, the group came together for a light luncheon before heading back to work. The luncheon, prepared by volunteers, was made possible by generous donations from local food stores. Thank you to Junior’s Supermarket in San Juan, HEB in Alamo, and Walmart in Alamo. Their donations were greatly appreciated by the Guild and the volunteers that day. In 2019, before COVID interrupted all of our lives, over 20 of the Guild quilts were given to veterans at the Brook Ridge Retirement Community. This year, the Guild presented quilts to veterans during the RGV Quilt Show held on South Padre Island. Veterans are identified through a nomination process. To qualify to receive a quilt for military service,
the nominee must be a year-round resident of the Rio Grande Valley. On Saturday of the RGV Quilt Show, we were honored to observe the presentation of military quilts to Anthony Russo, U.S Navy, Petty Officer Second Class 1965-1971; Dan Goad, U.S. Marine Corps, Captain 1964-1972; and Daniel L. Castillo, U.S. Marine Corps, Gunnery Sergeant 2001-2016. We thank these men for their service, and the Guild is looking forward to continuing this work and providing even more quilts through this program in the future. •

sincere fondness. But his true love was his wife, Audrey. This month will mark three years since Gus lost Audrey to cancer. They met in 1972 when she visited Colorado from North Dakota for work. She was bashful, says Gus. And he was the life of the party, playing guitar and hanging out with friends. Soon after they met, Audrey went on a trip to Hawaii. She sent him a postcard with a Hawaiian sunset. She wrote about her trip, how she wanted to bring home a pineapple, and how she had enjoyed it but was ready to be home. She signed it: I love you, Audrey. It was love early on for Gus, too. They married and started their life together. Gus taught her new things, like how to ride a horse. They raised two daughters and enjoyed an active lifestyle, hunting, water skiing, snow skiing, RVing, and later, line dancing. Gus retired in 1995. A few years later, he battled cancer and won. He and Audrey travelled all over in their RV and eventually discovered South Padre Island. It was too humid for Gus, he says, but they liked the area, so they moved further inland to Alamo Rose RV Resort and later relocated permanently to Alamo Country Club. The couple continued to be active, participating in skits, golf-cart parades, and, of course, dancing. “People would watch us. We would dance to Neon Moon, and they would all watch us,” he shares. Audrey taught line dancing, Gus says. “They loved my wife. My wife was a beautiful, beautiful girl.” When she passed, Gus says, it was just too hard. “We did so much together.” But it was dancing that kept Gus going. At 85, his daily routine consists of playing golf in the morning followed by happy hour, then pickle ball, then happy hour again. Then he searches for a nearby dance. He decks himself out in slacks, boots, western shirt, and cowboy hat. Dance goers greet him warmly and shake his hand. He smiles, his grin bordered by a thin black mustache. “They all know me,” he says. He’s sustained severe injuries in his lifetime, serious ones from various accidents. Surprisingly, though, not from bull riding. He walks with a bit of a hunch and can’t fully lift his head. He says there’s steel in his back, left leg, and foot. He notices more pain the days he’s not able to play golf or pickle ball. And yet, he dances. He dances to stay active, to keep moving. Gus dances for Audrey. •

Mike Heep, a Valley native plant nursery owner, will sell plants from 9 a.m. to noon with a presentation at 11 a.m. It is a great opportunity to ask questions about what to grow in your garden! Kids and adults alike can make seed bombs to take home and toss anywhere you’d like to cover with flowers. Seed bombs are balls made out of clay, compost, and seeds. Apparently, seed bombs were first used in the 70s to “bomb” large vacant lots in New York City with flowers; they called it guerillagardening-awesome! Take a trip to Quinta Mazatlan in McAllen to celebrate National Plant a Flower Day. The event is free with Park Admission: $3 adults, $2 kids, children 2 and under are free. Please reserve your tickets online at quintamazatlan.ticketleap. com in order for the park to prepare accordingly.

Show ‘N Tell Continues at The Lamb’s Loom Special to Welcome Home RGV
E
very week, there are new people finding out about our ministry here and joining in the joy of serving others. We are so blessed with our amazing fiber community of friends here at The Lamb’s Loom. A few years ago, in a study of knitters and crocheters, about 77 percent reported buying their yarn in a physical store, as opposed to mail order or online shops. The reason for that is obvious. In the physical store, you can touch the yarn, feel its softness, check its stretchiness (or lack thereof), and get an accurate sense of the yarn. You can see the yarn’s true colors in sunlight and not have to worry about screen settings or distortions affecting the color you see. And most of all, you have the opportunity to spend time with other yarn lovers and make new friends.
•••
Most people find friendships by discovering shared interests. At The Lamb’s Loom, our all-volunteer staff and friends share an interest in two things: ministry and fiber arts. We bond over our love of yarn, colors, patterns, being creative together, learning something new, teaching someone else what we know, and encouraging those who are learning, not to give up. One of the main goals here is to share and encourage the gift of giving--in others, for others. Some of that happens with show ‘n tell! No, we have not outgrown that. Show ‘n tell spontaneously happens. It’s a regular occurrence around here. It’s a fun time of sharing with others and seeing them inspired to take the next steps in their own yarn expedition.
So, you never know what show ‘n tell awaits you when you stop in for a bit. We have included a few pics of some Lamb’s Loom show ‘n tell. Our friend Ida just finished this adorable sweater, and Irma has on one of her amazing wraps for a “chilly” South Texas day. Katia is modeling a top created by our shepherd Alys, and Barbara is loving Eugenia’s latest brioche shawl. The fun scarf that Martha is wearing is a gift from her sister. And our friend Rosa came for show ‘n tell in her cute cardi. It is so fun to see yarns that have been purchased here and what they turn into when they grow up. There’s always something new to learn and be inspired by, someone who can help you with yarn selection

Things I Have Learned
A somewhat random and reckless look at life from a fairly old guy
That Sinking Feeling
by Bill Ward
T O D AY ’ S W I S D O M
“Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.” Chris Bradford
I
recently had an interesting conversation with my brother-in-law. Though he is slightly younger, we both fit the role of seniors. Like me, he is also an avid fisherman. Most younger folks would not relate to our conversation. He was telling me about a recent episode in which he launched his boat, pulled up to the dock, and went ashore. A companion on shore asked him why his boat was sitting so low in the water. Upon looking, he saw water coming over the back and the motor starting to submerge. My comment: “Yeah! I’ve done
that.” The truth is, I have managed to partially fill my boat with water not once but three times. His count? Yup, three times. We both have issues remembering to insert the plug in the back of the boat. Then he told me it isn’t always remembering to do it but doing it properly. He explained how once he inserted the plug in the live well drain instead of in the boat drain. My comment? “Yup. I’ve done that.” The experience that really freaks me out, though, is being out on the lake pleasantly fishing and feeling your shoes suddenly getting wet. Looking down, one’s heart skips a beat or two to see water boiling in through the hole that is missing its plug. Somehow those plugs manage to come out in the lake. The only solution is to quickly start the motor and head for shore. In my case, I was
or pattern reading, and friendly people to talk to about what you are working on. You are always welcome to bring your own projects and “come show ‘n tell!” We love hearing from you, and there are lots of ways to stay in touch. You can join us on our website at thelambsloom.com and follow us on Facebook and Instagram. And there are lots of fun articles right here in Welcome Home Winter Texan. The Lamb’s Loom is located at 1102 Tamarack in McAllen. We are open Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Additional parking is available in the rear via Upas Avenue. Be a PEG! Pray. Encourage. Give. Remember, The Lamb’s Loom is not just a yarn shop; it’s a ministry and a mindset. •
able to beach the boat on a friend’s property and call for a new plug and my water pump. Oh, his comment to that tale: “Yeah. I’ve done that.” It is tough getting old. Our wives haven’t yet told either of us we can’t go out alone anymore, but that might be coming. One of the things I have learned is we must adjust to--and accommodate--our growing list of senior challenges. We both now carry spare plugs in the boat. The fact that we do so means we both anticipate it will happen again. Perhaps there’s a metaphor on life in general in there somewhere. My worry this time is whether I will remember where I put the spare plug. In a sinking ship, one doesn’t have all day to recall important details.
I’m just sayin’. •

ocals around the Rio Grande Valley are excited for the 38th Annual Causeway Run & Fitness Walk. The event had initially been postponed due to the construction on the bridge and to avoid a conflict with spring break on South Padre Island. The 5K walk and 10K run will be held April 9, starting at the Port Isabel Community Center. The 5K walk will end at the Padre Bali statue and give participants a chance to enjoy a calm stroll across the causeway and take in the morning hour over the Laguna Madre Bay. For the runners, the course will end at Louie’s Backyard. This is the perfect training opportunity to see how well you fair on the six-mile course with the incline of the causeway. There will be winners for first, second, and third place for both the women’ and men’s categories in the 10K run.

the g n i r e v o c Dis RGV Submitted by Ace Moore
When many people dream of a winter getaway, they think of places like Hawaii, Florida, or Arizona. But what kind of person is drawn to the beauty and excitement of the Rio Grande Valley? Judy Paterson, a single lady from Calgary, Alberta, is one of the newcomers to our Valley. In her younger years, she worked in a hospital helping the elderly. She later became a trailblazer by becoming one of the first women to work as a sales rep in the field of freight sales. Later she started her own massage business from scratch and employed a staff of nine. Then, at the “ripe old age of 52,” when a lot of people are thinking of retirement, she became a flight attendant. After she fully retired, she was invited down to visit friends in Palm Resaca Park in Brownsville. She was impressed with the beauty of the area and the warm hospitality of the people in the park and in the Brownsville area. After renting
for only a few months, she bought a mobile home of her own. “I’m really looking forward to spending my winters in this friendly Park and the RGV, with all it has to offer,” she said. Myron and Donna Schuette from Winneconne, Wisconsin, have been in Brownsville for 15 years. Myron owned Wrightstown Lumber in Wisconsin for 43 years. Donna was an alcohol and drugaddiction counselor. Each winter, they would look forward to escaping to someplace warm, usually it was Hawaii, the Bahamas, or wherever a cruise would take them. When they retired, they thought they would continue to be world travelers. However, Newk and Gayle Hammen, who were good friends of theirs, told them about a park where they spent their winters in Brownsville, Texas. “I loved the warm breezes, the sun, and the palm trees,” said Myron, with a wide smile. “It was just like Hawaii,

Sue and Barry McDonald love everything about the RGV. People here are so helpful and easy to talk to. They bought a mobile in Palm Resaca Park and are enjoying fixing it up to their satisfaction.
only a lot closer and a lot cheaper.” Myron became a regular golfer and card player with a group of friends in the park. Donna enjoyed the earlymorning water-aerobics classes and a writing course offered by one of our park residents. “This park has everything we want,” said Donna. “We plan to spend our winters here until we can’t stay any longer,” said Myron. “Or our kids won’t let us,” added Donna, with a chuckle.
Barry and Sue McDonald are from Peterborough, Ontario. They began escaping winter’s cold grasp by spending a few weeks in Florida or Cabo San Lucas each year. We discovered the Rio Grande Valley from some friends we met by accident on one of our trips across Canada, they said. “We had never heard of Brownsville or the Rio DISCOVERING THE RGV CONTINUED ON PAGE 24 >>

he 10th Annual Shuffleboard Tournament was held at La Floresta RV Park in Mercedes Saturday, February 12. While dark clouds threatened rain, the weather cooperated, and the tournament was able to be played without delay. We had 68 participants in the doubleelimination event. Winners in the “A” bracket were Karen Birtwhistle and Wayne Summerly, both of Manitoba, Canada. Winners in the “B” racket were Sue Froehlich, Floodwood, Minnesota, and David Martin. Shuffleboard is a very popular activity at La Floresta RV Park. The tournaments began about 10 years ago by George Link from Manitoba, Canada. He explained that they enjoyed curling in Canada and saw similarities with shuffleboard, except shuffleboard is done on a court, instead of ice. Shuffleboard games are held twice a week under the direction of Bill Hocken of Ontario, Canada. •

eady those feeders! Word on the street (aka social media) is that migratory hummingbirds will begin passing through the Rio Grande Valley in the coming weeks. South Texas is one of the best places in the country to watch hummingbirds as they head north. If you don’t have a feeder or hummingbird-attracting plants, you can see them passing through any one of the nature parks across the Valley. •

We know the RGV is citrus territory, and we enjoy the best during our winter season. This salad is both sweet and savory, with a variety of ingredients not always combined with oranges. • Lifelong foodie, restaurant reviewer, cooking teacher, and summer Iowan, Sandy Olson spends the Winter-Texan season at Palm Shadows RV Park in Donna. This season, Sandy will be sharing recipes to help readers enjoy the abundance of delicious fruits we find in our local markets. Sandy claims she’s been “a bit fruity” since childhood.

Grande Valley,” said Barry. “So I started phoning parks in the Rio Grande Valley. Palm Resaca Park was the only one I called where an actual person answered the phone. So we thought we’d come down and check it out.” They originally came for two months but were so impressed by the people in the park and the amenities offered in the Brownsville area that they decided this was the place they wanted to spend their winters. “The cost of everything here is about half of what we were paying in Florida,” said Barry. “Florida is more geared to visitors who come for two weeks at a time,” he explained. “We felt like we were a captive audience there, so they didn’t have to hurry to serve you. Here, people are much friendlier and service-oriented. Now, wherever we go, we tell people about this ‘undiscovered’ country. We plan on being here for a very long time.” Colorado’s Dottie and Curt Benson
have been coming to Palm Resaca Park for over 50 years. Curt’s parents, Al and Ilo, were part of the “dirty thirty” original residents of the park. Curt also has other relatives in the park. “We bought in the park because we wanted to be close to our relatives and escape the severe Colorado winters.” declared Dottie. Curt enjoys surf fishing, playing pool, and doing jigsaw puzzles with the guys. Dottie says she enjoys walks on the beach, collecting shells, and sewing. Now, a third generation of Bensons has arrived in our park, as their son, Ben, and his wife, Michelle, have bought a mobile home. It seems most people arrive in the Rio Grande because they hear about it by word of mouth. Once people experience the beauty of the scenery, see how friendly the people are, and get involved in the activities the area has to offer, there is an excellent chance they will make the RGV their winter home.•
Toast the sliced almonds in a small, dry, heavy skillet, stirring constantly until they are golden brown and fragrant. Don’t let them burn, which can happen quickly. Wash and separate the lettuce into leaves. Dry with paper towels. Cut the peeled oranges into ¼-inch rounds. Place a few of the lettuce leaves in the center of each of 4 salad plates. Top with orange rounds, then onion rings. Sprinkle with the sliced olives and the almonds. Puree the remaining ingredients, except the oil, in a blender. With the motor running, slowly pour in the oil in a steady stream until the dressing is thick. Drizzle it over each individual salad and serve. •

Zesty Corn and Coconut Soup
good corn soup is creamy and naturally sweet; a great corn soup is also a little spicy and refreshing. In this recipe, the addition of shallots, garlic, ginger, chiles and coconut milk, rather than the traditional heavy cream and butter, makes this soup unpredictable, cooling and memorable. And for my vegan readers, you are welcome! Bon Appétit! • • 5 ears yellow corn (or 5 cups frozen corn kernels) • 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil • 2 shallots, thinly sliced into rings • 3 garlic cloves, minced • 1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled and minced • 1 small serrano chile, minced (use more less to taste) • 2 small red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 2 ½ cups vegetable broth or stock • 1 (15-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk • 1 tablespoon lime juice (juice from 1/2 lime) • Kosher salt, to season • Garnishes /toppings for serving: Torn cilantro leaves, toasted coconut f flakes, chopped roasted peanuts, crispy fried shallots, lime wedges and more sliced Serrano chiles (optional).
• • •
Cut the corn kernels off the cobs (if using) and transfer to a bowl. Using the back of a butter knife, scrape the cobs so that all of the milky juices collect in the bowl. Set aside. In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat oil. Add shallots, ginger, chile, and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Take care not to burn the garlic. Add corn kernels and juices to the pot, and sauté until the corn about 3 minutes more. Add potato pieces, and stir to coat, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the vegetable stock and coconut milk. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender all the way through. Remove from the heat. Using an immersion blender to roughly purée the soup, so that it’s creamy with some kernels of corn, chunks of potato, and chile flecks remaining. (Alternatively, ladle about half of the soup into a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.) Season with lime juice and salt, and mix to combine. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toppings of your choice. •
