Happy Halloween Everyone!
Hi all! I guess when there's not too much news I forget to post anything.And that's the way it is this week.
We had around 50 or so for donuts today and Bill Welch and Mial Stensland provided them. We are all looking forward to a fun Halloween Party Sunday, and the chili and vegetable soup sounds so good! No news was reported at th get-to-gether.
Mary Hilde, who was feeling so weak and sick to her stomach is feeling better, she was taken to the hospital but released after a few tests.Hopefully getting her strength back now. JoAnn Sanstra is in the hospital again but no report on hopw she is doing. And Dale Clark was in for a couple days and is home, I think.
The office has been painted finally, it was started several weeks ago.
We had a fun "Happy Hour" Wednesday, 45-50 there.
someone sent this to me. I thought it appropriate for this time of year!!
I will make a "smilebox" of the Halloween party for you , Monday

We did have someone step up to buy donuts this Friday, Norman Gibbs, we also have someone for next Friday. I went to the pool for exercises so didn't go. there looked to be a big crowd when I looked in the card room.
We have been busy furnishing our new room, so it's been a busy week for us.
This week I will be getting the 5th wheel ready for Sister, Mickey.
Jan and Gary Philipps got in last night, gosh she looks sooo good! She's lost weight and is healing good after her surgery.
I received word of the passing of Rex Brenneman, His memorial service is today in Wichita. They sure loved coming to the Valley for the Winter, I think 2006 was the last year they were here.
Mary Hilde was taken by ambulance to the hospital, I understand as soon as she gets a little stronger they will heading back to Minnesota.
Our Halloween party will be great fun, Chili or Vegetable soup and entertainment. It's always fun to see what people come up with for costumes.If you are going to be here you might call ahead so Kay Gibson will have a count on the number of folks coming.Sue Barnhart is selling tickets , her no. is, 281-687-3701.

Gene Kolibas Birthday Bash
Oh my gosh what a great party Gene Koliba put on! Turning "65" and now he's going to get his first SS check!! lol There must have been way over 100 people for the party and a fabulous B.B.Q. catered in by "Willy's B.B.Q." the Brisket was fork tender with their famous apple cole slaw, potato salad, pinto beans, Texas size bread and iced tea. We had the birthday cake for dessert. The entertainment was "Janie" the other half of famous O.J. and Janie band, she did a great job, and got a whole lot of folks out there on the dance floor. I took a lot of pictures and made a smile box slide show.
This is the image I put on the invitations but I put his Head in place of the old mans head and this very image is on his birthday cake!! It was hilarious!!

October 15th
We will be having a Halloween Party Oct. 31st.Sue Barnhart has agreed to help Kay with it!
It's 53 degrees this morning....brrrr!!!but it's going to warm up to 87. Low humidity, such wonderful weather this time of year. I have seen some of the most beautiful fall foliage pictures from Magnolia Parks blog and Barb Brookers blog, I sure miss the Changing of seasons.
The office provided the donuts this morning. We thought close to 45 people there this morning! No mgr. there. Supposed to be the last of our Friday morning coffee and donuts but I know someone will step up and offer to buy for next Friday? So far no one stepped up to do that! And hopefully the following Friday, then we will start with the Monday morning meetings.
So many people have come in now, I can't begin to list them all.
There are lots of cards up in the lobby to sign...Gene Koliba's brother died, Gordon Lamp, surgery, Bob Bruce, brother died, Marlen Prohaska had back surgery, Gary Philipps sister-in-law died in a farm related accident, Bana Southworth injured her wrist in a fall, A card to Darlene Cook, who is battling Cancer. I received a call from Bob Kerkau, they're usually here by now , but Bob had a detached retina surgery, and he is going to have catarac surgery this Fall too. They will be coming hopefully around the 10th or 12th of November. I had a real surprise yesterday, Dorothy Young called from Wisconsin! she's still lives in a place very much like John Knox. Where they have cottages for those who don't need much assistance, and then Assisted living quarters and then the Nursing home part of it. She has been living on her own at this facility all this time.
Her husband Gordon and her lived in #412.
You really should go and visit Mary Lou's blog slowboattonursinghome, scroll down to "Words of Wisdom" so hilarious! Also "Where ya from" very neat writings!
Our pool still not ready yet! Ranchero has been nice enough to have some of us over to Aquasize in their pool.

October 8th
A lovely morning here in S. Texas, I had a lite jacket when walking the doggy this morning, but it warmed up fast!
Jack and Mary Jo Havertape provided the donuts for us this morning.
We had a "Fun night" last night with folks bringing finger food, it was really well attended, there must have been over 60 people there. Lots of goodies!
Someone reported that Connie said the pool will not be fixed for 2 more weeks! I guess they got the part in but I haven't talked to the mgrs. so just going by what was reported to me.
Those of you coming in to the 99's will be surprised at the nice new pads that were poured, but also there's piles of the top spoil and grass roots from where they dug out for the pads and it is piled on a lot of lots back there(which were low)and has been there for a couple weeks,I don't know if the park is going to level that dirt out or what. It looks bad. The assitant managers were both painting the bathrooms in the 99's, when I went by this morning. So they aren't going to be remodeling them.
Not anything more to tell ya, quite a few more folks have come in! So get on down here ya'll!
