a note

The fish at Beto's Restaurant was excellent, a nice thin crisp batter, mixed vegy's, macaroni and cheese casserole, fresh warm rolls, and a dessert with it. Reasonable price...I think $5.95.
Juanita Fisher had shoulder surgery in June and has just had knee surgery the 25th of this month. Get well soon Juanita!!
Linda Palermo ,who bought #24 from the Pledgers, is here now.. Also met new folks from Snow to Sun who said they were going to buy in here as soon as their park models sells there. They love the location of this park and how nice it looks, oh and they said the folks were very friendly here. Of course! lol
I took a few pictures I may try to load them, one of the fence before and one after the painting. and a couple others.
We had a salad luncheon for Darlene Cook, she is here for a couple days with her Daughter, they needed to get a few things that they had left here, they sold their park model last Spring to the Laings from Canada.She still is having chemo, and her husband who had a new hip put in, fell, and is now in rehab.

Did you know about calling 1-800-goog-411 for info on your cell phone? It's free and it would sure come in handy when traveling when you have a problem with your vehicle or also to find a nearby hotel or motel. I am going to put it on my cell phone in case of emergency.It's voice activated and you say where, and what you're looking for and you will get connected to the business you need. I may have mentioned this before.
I have taken a few pictures of our newly painted fence and a couple other pictures but it's taking so long to upload them that I will put them in at a later date.
The new Lowes Store is very nice. Penny's to open soon.
That's about it for now.

SAD NEWS

Harold Case passed away on the 15th, he was our neighbor at 281 for quite a few years.He was a brother to Dolores Mason. His wife Donice played the organ in the park

The new Lowes opened up. The Penny's store will be open soon also. There's several business's going in out there too. It will be interesting to see what we do get.

Bobby Thomas has been busy on the park fence, it's going to look so much better. Also quite a few streets are being black topped, our street is one of them and I know from Whited's to the shuffleboard courts will be done, don't know how many more.

Several people have their barn quilts displayed in front of their mobiles, they look neat. Gary Philipp has several made up. They are really pretty.

I just got the last correction done on the park photo album,I have been proofing it, we were the last park to be taken so we won't get our books as soon as I would have liked but by the 1st of November forsure.

Lots more rain in the forecast,

We had a couple visitors, Leon and Sherry Cheatham, they came down to get a car, and will be back later this Fall. Gary and Jan Philipp are here for the Winter, they got here Wednesday evening. It was good to see them.
Connie or Jack did not come this morning, so we didn't have a mgr. report. They haven
t got their building started for the guys yet but Connie did say Scott was still trying to decide on bids to do it. Bobby Thomas still replacing bad wood in the fence and has started painting the inside of the fence. I see some of the corals in the 99's are being painted by the guys and lots and lots of mowing being done since our heavy rains . Jack our Mgr. has mowed over 15 lawns as some of the lawn care people fell behind.
Some of them looked pretty bad. When they have so many yards to mow they get behind when we have rain. We have to mow every week!!!!!!!!
Betty Aderton had toe surgery this week, Mgr. Connie feeling some what better.
Got an email from John and Irene Quail, after being in Iowa for some time they went to S. Carolina, Her brother and wife had a surprise Birthday party for her and also attended a class reunion and John and her attended a family reunion on her Daddy's side, they will be on Oklahoma this week then on to New Mexico and Sedona AZ. So sounds like they're having a great time.

Friday Donuts

Good morning!
Well,this morning we had our donuts and coffee with Bev Ostrander & Darlene Bryant providing them.
Our 2nd Winter Texans have arrived,Pat and Bill Hamlet, Cheryl Maxon and Ken Costly being the first to arrive.
We didn't have a Mgr.report. We had over 3 inches of rain in the last 3 or 4 days, everything greening up. Thank God!
Darlene Bryant will be having a heart cath this Tuesday at Renaisance Hosp. Katy Scharping is in hospice after suffering a heart attack. Not too many cards sent out this week.
Some of the folks went to Mr. Gattis for pizza Monday night, and also they had their Thusday morning breakfast at Tex-Mex Restaurant.
We are having omelets in a zip lock bag this Sat. and Monday we are having a ham dinner in the hall for $4.00 each.The big frig quit on us this week ruining some things in it. It was fixed but it cost quite a bit. The heat in the hall this Summer has been very hard on the frig and ice machine.The guy that fixed the ice machine
said the compressors can be put outside to eliminate the problem, as they have been leaving the doors open to the hall and a fan going near the compressor, but it really gets dusty and dirty in the hall then.We cleaned the kitchen of dust before we did the omelets last week and the cleaning lady cleaned a few days ago. There were some large insect or mouse droppings on the counter and under the sink.
If I think of anything else I will add more in a day or two
