December 19th

Merry Christmas everyone I hope you viewed my "Smile Box" on the Christmas Caroling from last night. Everyone seemed to have a fun time, my camera doesn't take the best pictures at night, the pictures were so dark. At the meeting this morning... Our mgr. Connie said that the Wrights are still doing lawns, she had said earlier they were not going to do them any more but it was evidently wrong information.She reintroduced our maintenence men, Omar and Alex. Then Irene presented each one with cards from residents and also gave them their box of goodies we all contributed to. Brock reminded everyone of the Christmas show the evening of the 23rd. $4.00 at the door and said they would be using the new lighting. Irene said a card will be sent for Norm and Catherine Gibbs who lost a Granddaughter in a car accident. She had sent some other cards that she had mentioned last week. Doris Davis thanked folks who sent cards when Paul went to the hospital. Martha Millender has a card she wants everyone to sign for Ione Alwin, former resident. The gals in charge of the Cancer walk are wanting more toy donations for the childrens cancer hospital, no stuffed toys. Christmas dinner is at 1:00p.m. the 25th, Dec. 31st is the New Years Dance, and party in the Pool Room. Jan 10th is the Hobo Day party at 4:30.

Whether the weather is fine
Or whether the weather is not
Whether the weather is cold
Or whether the weather is hot
We'll whether the weather
Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not!

And it is "cold" this morning!!! Lows in the 30's. All week will be on the cool side.
But you know a cold spell will make our grapefruit so much sweeter! So a grower told us when we purchased fruit at their orchard a while back.

A little run down of last weeks news....
At the meeting Connie said we could no longer bring our own alcoholic beverages to many of the functions that we have in the Hall. She is going to get with Piper on the Liability and get back with us.

A very nice Thanksgiving Day dinner was held in the hall with 250 people attending.
This Monday there wasn't a whole lot discussed, nothing mentioned about whether we can BYOB at different events. Talk about the ice machine, someone tampering with the timer on the gate, a couple other things. The "Committee" thinks we shouldn't pay for the newspaper all year around......geesh......the cost is a hundred and some for the year. So I guess there will be a paper only for 3 months out of the year.
Table set up for Cancer drive selling raffle tickets T-shirts etc. and Veteranbs dinner tickets being sold.

November 6th

This is a picture I took in West texas as we were driving along, see the huge pile of cotton seed, Bob High? He had told Bobby had never seen it before, and did you know Cotton seed oil is used in many things we consume? Salas dressings, margarine, sauces,& cooking oil.
We stayed a night in Bandera and met Bob,at Skyline Ranch R.V. park, a friend of Mial Stensland,Bob had alot of nice things to say about Mial! Mial recomended we stay there, very nice and lots of deer roaming the campground as soon as it starts getting dark...in fact they left 3 big piles of Poop within 10 feet of our unit. lol. There are huge Longhorn cattle there also.
We stayed two nights at Goodfellow Air force Base campground.The host there was a good friend of Clyde and Linda Polermo.

There isn't a whole lot to see around San Angelo,besides cotton fields, some were not picked yet and we watched the cotton being picked. Oh, and oil derricks pumping away in the middle of some of the cotton fields! Also gas wells.


The scenery changes quickly in New Mexico, so does the temperature, we were in a blizzard like storm today and freezing rain. The wind blew over 40 mpr.
Here are a few pictures I took today, this was the way the sky looked and when we got closer it would rain then turn to snow, but after so long we would drive out of it and it would be sunny, but the winds never died down.

These pictures I took in Western New Mexico and right at the Arizona border.

You all have probably been through this area along I-40, I love the different rock formations and wonder how they ever were formed, from glaciers as understand it.


Well, I haven't had a chance to write anything as we are on a little trip.
I will say the Halloween Party was a huge success. Over 120 attended and everyone stayed around to dance and listen to Fred's music.The decorations were awesome, and lots of goodies to eat. Bobby won 1st place with his Breathalyzer costume. which took him quite awhile to make.I have to apologize to several of you, when I did the smilebox slideshow, I couln't remember who wore what.Rita Sutherland and hubby were two of them.sorry Rita!
Social Hour was in the big hall this time as the crowd is getting big now.
Duffy's provided the donuts this last Friday.

Halloween is fast approaching. Ken Barnhart has some pretty neat decorations he's been working on. We will have some snacks available but some are bringing snacks to share. Prizes awarded for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place Halloween Costumes.
Wednesday we had our usual Social Hour and over 40 people came. We had 2 couples that are new to our park, one couple came to the R.V. section to stay one week or so but liked it so much they are going to stay 4 months!they are J.D. & Chris Stevens from Okla. The other couple bought #165, and they are Thomas & Bonnie Cassidy from Spring Valley Calif. I understand they are going back to Calif. and will rent their mobile for 3 months. He is a Minister and they aren't ready to be "Winter Texans" as yet! He is the Brother of Judy DeKoning#67.
We will have to move our Social Hour to the big hall to accomidate everyone from here on out. Anxious for Marc Frana to come down and play for us during the social Hour! Hopefully he will.
Judy Anselmin is now back at the Valley Grande Nursing Home,she is paralized on one side, Mary Loeck had surgery, she had some complications, when I know more I will let you all know.
The Kerr's provided the donuts this morning. We ordinarily wouldnt have donuts next Friday but Connie and Tom Duffy stepped up to provide them. And like I said last week, Martha Millender and The Farley's are providing donuts for our 1st Club meeting.
Oh darn I forgot to mention that Bill Welch has a Birthday this month! Happy Birthday to you Bill!And everyone who had a birthday this month!
I thought these 5 doggies were so cute!

Friday Oct. 21st

We had a nice turnout for coffee and donuts this morning. The Office supplied them this week. Next week The Kerr's are providing them and for our first Club meeting, Farleys and Martha Millender said they would provide them.
We have finally had some cool mornings here, it has been so refreshing, after such a hot hot Summer.
Sorry to say that Judy Anselmin our long time neighbor, fell and broke her back, she had only been home from the Nursing home a few days when it happened and then in the hosp. she had a stroke.
We are having a neat Halloween Party this year,as I reported last week, Fred Goldsberry will play. He plays every kind of music and takes requests. It will be $3.00 per person, wear a costume and get prizes or if you don't want to, that's ok too. a table with snacks provided but if you wish, bring a snack to share.


Lots of Birthdays this month...we had a surprise birthday party on Sue Barnhart. and I know several people who have birthdays this month...Bonnie Bryant, Ann Mitz, Mary Hennigar, Dorothy Skovbo, Penny Rush, Gordon Lamp, Ray Davis, Gene Koliba, and Dale Clark!
Also it's Tom and Mary Lou Benson's ,John and Irene Quail, Fred and Barbara Swaggert, Bill and Pat Hamlet, and Jack and Connie Bardon's anniversary!!

I couldn't resist this...


You know you are to old to Trick or Treat when:

10. You keep knocking on your own front door.

9. You remove your false teeth to change your appearance.


8. You ask for soft high fiber candy only.

7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag,
and you lose your balance and fall over.


6. People say: 'Great Boris Karloff Mask,'
And you're not wearing a mask.

5. When the door opens you yell, 'Trick or...'
And you can't remember the rest.

4. By the end of the night,
you have a bag full of restraining orders.


3. You have to carefully choose a costume that doesn't dislodge your hairpiece.


2. You're the only Power Ranger in the
neighborhood with a walker.

And the number one reason Seniors should not go
Trick Or Treating...
*
*
*
1. You keep having to go home to pee.


No matter, have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN anyway.
Some short cuts that may help you !!!! HAHAHAH HA HA....

October 14th

A lovely Fall morning here in the Valley!
We had our usual coffee and donuts this morning. Coakleys provided them. We do have some cards up to sign, one for Cleland Thorpe, Hosp. infection, and Clarice Cristensen, pace maker. We read in the Monitor this morning that Pat Harms passed away, remember Daryl and Pat Harms? they were Asst. Mgrs. here for awhile.
We are having a Halloween party, something different this year, we aren't having a meal but having a Halloween Dance. We had planned on having a dance this Fall with Fred Goldsberry, in Nov. but Ken changed the date of Fred coming to Halloween. It's still in the planning stage but besure to bring your costume!!!
We now have two new maintanence men...their names are Omar and Alex. They seem to be very very hard workers and efficient workers.they are both knowledgeable about maintaining our park. Omar replaced Adrian this week and he had been working prior to Adrians dismissal. It will take a load off Jack and Connie to have good help.

Fall Pictures

I just knew Mary Lou Benson would come through with some Fall pictures, but didn't expect them to be from some where other than Iowa. she took these on their trip . they went to Canada, Niagara Falls, Vermont,New Hampshire, and other Eastern states, the Boltes were with them, she said the Fall foliage was late turning this year and were some what disappointed in the Eastern States, Iowa has such a beautiful Fall. They visited Art and Peg Bloom
I just had to add the picture of Tom and Mary Lou going over the Falls in the barrel lol
thank you for the pictures!

Oct. 7th

Oh oh here they come


Hi everyone!
Sorry about not writing last week, there sure wasn't much to write about. The Clements provided the donuts last week and this week the Philipps provided them.I think around 36 showed up. Gary Philipp had eyelid surgery and didn,t come to donuts this morning. He is pretty swollen and has to put ice packs on so Jan and I picked up the donuts.
Sure miss the Fall foliage that we would have in Iowa but a freind of mine from Iowa who spent time in Michigan says the Fall foliage in Michigan is even more beautiful this time of year. If I had some pictures of Fall foliage I would post some for you. Mary Lou?
There are no cards up to sign so hope everyone is feeling good and packing up to head South.
Bobby says the Monitor this morning said the price of gas is $3.31 and diesel is $3.59.
The guys are busy getting the park spiffied up for you all. There is even another maintenance man hired to help.
Mary Freundshuh's Daughter is here visiting.and a few people are back for the Winter.

Still very dry here, this evening was very nice and cool. Tomarrow morning Larry Dixson and Havertape are doing biscuits and gravy. Social Hour Wednesday afternoon.

Sept. 17th

I don't really have much to say this week, just like this squirrel just "chillin" waiting for everyone to start coming in. This little varmit is eating our pecans before they even ripen, making a terrible mess on the patio, as he nibbles off all the outside the pieces hit the patio they leave a black stain and it's next to impossible to get off. He's not one bit afraid of the dog or us. I tried to shoo him out of the tree and he was within 5 feet of me and wouldn't budge, even after I threw one of his pecans at him.
Lamps and Mary Ann Hennigar furnished the donuts Friday. I didn't go, I went aquasizing. Bobby said nobody said a word. Thursday a group went to Willy's B.B.Q.
and some said it was good, I didn't go. We had our regular Social Hour Wednesday.
The only card to sign is for Alice Matson, her niece died.
The Philipps are back.
Get packing everyone!!!!

Sept. 9th

I had to share these pictures I took a couple days ago of the Hummingbirds sitting on my hands! They were so busy eating they didn't realize where they were sitting!
Clarice Christensen and Darlene Bryant provided the donuts this morning. I slept in and didn't go. there is a card to sign for Jacque Anderson as her new little Great Grand child had to have surgery and has problems. Gloria Hauser is still in the hospital and as I understand it there's health issues that the Drs. haven't figured out yet. A card for Mary Norby to go up as she is having knee surgery.
We had a delicious meal of Italian Beef sandwiches, potato salad & dessert on Labor day, thanks to Ken and Sue Barnhart.We all really loved it then this last Wednesday at Social Hour we had left overs!
Instead of the usual Social Hour on Wednesdays we are all going to Willies B.B.Q. Wednesday evening.
The weather is beautiful here now, cooler mornings and evenings! Fall is in the air!

Sept. 2nd

The Hummers are sure swarming the feeders. Do you think they're getting ready to fly South for the Winter? lol
Gene Koliba and Mary Freundshuh provided the donuts this morning.
Sue and Ken Barnhart are making Italian Beef Sandwich meal for Labor day.

Donna Granath and Peg Haylelan's Brother, Dick Fisher passed away.
Sorry to have to report the sad news this week. Ken Van Dyke is in Hospice now, Fred Swaggert in the hospital, wasn't doing too well, but the last news from Barbara is he is much better, Gloria Hauser is in the hospital for a virul infection, Judy Anselmin is in Valley Grande Manor, also Al Mason has had a hard time with his hip surgery, Dolores said more re-hab for him. Richard and Donna Perkins home burned down, you may have heard of the horrible fires around Ft.Worth.
Beginning Sept. 1st there are a big increase in tax on liquor and beer,for importing, from $1.25 to for $3.50 for a fifth, and beer is now $3.50 for a case. that's quite a jump.
We are not in the path of the next hurricane, I feel for the folks in New Orleans who are.

Friday Coffee and Donuts

Hello, we only had 16 or 18 for donuts this morning, Del and Bev provided them but they're not here so Davis's picked them up for them.
The sealing of the roads is done finally, part last week and finished up Tuesday.
We came in Tuesday and couldn't even park to unload. I recall only 3 cards up to sign this week, one for Al Mason, new hip, and one for Judy Anselmen, she went to the hospital following a car accident she had, but is home now, and one for Rachel Kerr, she fell and broke her jaw, tripped over a hose. She doesn't have to have her jaws wired or anything though.
That new Bass Pro Shop in Harlingen is going to be huge! It's located just as you turn West off of Hwy 77 onto Exp. 83 to come West. The building is up and the parking lot looks like it's going to be huge.
I was watching the food patrol on channel 4, Sunrise Restaurant on N. Texas got 51 demerits....that's a bunch! also a Weslaco Stripes convenience store a lot of demerits (mice poop on food) That restaurant N. of us on the right hand side called El Jalisco got 56 demerits, it's close now, Back several months The Golden Coral and Kenos Restaurant got 48 and 31 demerits, also Weslaco Churches Chicken and Dennys around 21 demerits, let's hope they have cleaned up.
The weather in Iowa was so gorgeous, 50's 60's in the early morning upper 70's to low 80's in the afternoon...here it's the same every day, lows in the 80's highs in the upper 90's to low 100's. Dry here, need a rain bad.
That's it for now, start getting things set aside for your trip down

Friday morning

We are having a great time here.I have lots more pictures but the internet connection here is poor and it takes forever to upload them. This picture was taken when just a few of us went to Elcador,Ia. to shop. So many of the towns have such beautiful planters and flower beds, I took some pictures which I will have on a slide show for all just as soon as I get a better internet connection. The weather
is perfect for camping, Highs in the mid 70's - low 80's and the lows are 50's and 60's just wonderful!Mary Lou will have a neat Smile box slide show for you also.
Stan and Red Floyd provided the donuts this morning. One card up to sigh for John Bowers, back surgery.
