Friday donuts June 26th


Well, it's not long until the 4th of July will be here! The Summer is going fast! Our temperatures down here are highs in the upper 90's mostly 100 to lows in the upper 70"s. But still the evenings and mornings are lovely and always a breeze.
We had a nice shower this last week and the park looks good.
Gas prices in Weslaco range from $2.44 to $2.57 and diesel around $2.44 per gallon.
I added a link to Mary Lou's web site slowboattonursinghome.com click on Mary Lou's web site at the bottom of this page. It's very interesting reading!
It won't be long and we will be heading for a vacation in Iowa, and will go to the Campout in Clermont. The date for the campout is Aug. 2nd to the 8th.For reservations call The Skipaway Campground, 563-423-7338. There are also 4 motels nearby if you don't have a camper. There's talk of going on a Riverboat Cruise for our day out!! Wouldn't that be fun?
I have heard several people say they're going on a trip to Alaska? Mary Lou and Tom Benson and Joyce and Gordon Amos, and some others. Sounds like a neat place to go for a trip, and I bet the weather would be really nice.
We had our regular"Coffee and Conversation" this morning with Irene and John Quail providing the donuts.
I counted 30 people there. Visitors, Patty Lamps daughter is visiting them for a week or so, and Norman and Catherine Gibbs were there.
Connie announced that they are hiring new Asst. Mgrs. to start July 6th. They were Winter Texans but now full time. Clara and Larry. Earnie and Gail left our park and were hired at Ranchero. They had been going over there alot and they have a large wood working building over there, they were wanting to go there before coming here as I understand it. And our new buuilding wasn't getting built soon enough to suit them, Connie said the guys are getting a new building but it may not be as big as what they planned earlier. Scott and Walter both have been on quite long vacations, kind of hard to get major decisions and approvals until they return. The hot tub is drained and they're to start tommarrow on the new resurfacing, also the motor went out on it so they will get it up and running again soon.
We are having a dinner the 4th of July! Bill Clement said he would provide the burgers and buns and Bobby Thomas will fire up his grill
;;)
More later...
