SCRAP ANIMATED SMILIES.

CLICK HERE

 This month has really gone by fast. It still is hot here, upper 90's. Thankful for some nice rains this week.    We didn't have anyone sign up to provide donuts today but Mary Hennigar and Patty Lamp signed up finally, so thank you gals!  We have a few new faces in the park as of this week, Mile Stensland is here now, and Blooms are back.
   Our heater in the pool was repaired after 3 months and now the hot tub was cold last night. It was nice and warm quite soon thank goodness it wasn't something major. Always something.
     Those darn skunks are still running around the park after dark, I saw one Thursday evening just 2 doors down from Dorie Rosendahls, behind us. I understand that there was one caught near where Rutherfords lived but when the Animal Control came, they let it go again! They are not supposed to pick up Skunks, because of rabies. You would think that would be a reason to pick them up.
    We sure enjoy going to Tex-Mex on Thursday mornings, good breakfast and fellowship. Our waiter, Carlos, sang for us again yesterday morning, "Rancho Grande", and "Before the Next Teardrop Falls".
Here's his picture...

     You don't have to ask twice and he will serenade you!
      Betty Aderton said she has back surgery on the 5th of Oct. And Jacque Anderson has shoulder surgery this next week. I feel bad as we sent Nancy Argo's Granddaughter a card, Ann, she's still recuperating from a bad concussion,and the card came back, well, atleast, Nancy we were thinking of her and of course the anxiety you have had is so hard on the family, and thinking about you also, please tell Ann about the card.I did get an email from Arlene Jass, and Gary has been busy this Summer, getting radiation, etc. for  his Cancer, and  looking forward to coming back down this Fall. Gary Philipp called the other day and said his radiation was over for the Cancer in his one lung, and he has a different form of it in his other lung, and they are treating it totally different than the other lung, and will have 5 days of radiation in it in October, looking for them to come down towards the end of October.

F.Y.I.

     Many of us have been wondering what the huge building is on the corner of Panther Dr. and Border. It is the new Weslco High School Music Hall. It is over 22,800 Sq,ft. It is for marching band, concert band, Jazz, Mariachi, choir and other things associated with music. There are rehearsal rooms, storage rooms for each musical group, a music library, uniform storage and prop rooms. Also we could not figure out why the 4 silos on the South side of the building were for, well, they are to collect rain water to use for the facility's landscape!

I bet some of you didn't know it but...This visitor side of the big stadium across from our park was built by my husband, Bobby in 1990, originally was on the other side but was moved to the East side and they erected a larger home side a few years back.

I love the Fall colors

Friday

     This morning Costleys provided the donuts. Small crowd this morning.
Thursday morning we went to Tex-Mex for breakfast we had a big group, our waiter sang Happy Birthday to Doris Davis in Spanish and English, very nice, Paul came today also! Also our waiter sang "Before the Next Teardrop Falls" He didn't know the English part so Mary L. brought the lyrics up with her phone. He did a super job. No cards up to sign right now, Betty Adderton was to have back surgery, so we will get a card up for her.
    Well, that's about it for now.

something new has been added!

I think this is lot#32 a guy from Iowa moved his r.v. in here

September 14th

I took the 1st picture this morning, you know it's darn hard to take pictures of Hummingbirds, they do not sit still for long! This 2nd picture I took yesterday, they can hardly wait for you to refill their feeders. I tried to hold the feeder to see if they would land on my hand like they did last year, and sure enough they did.

There were quite a few for coffee and donuts this morning Rexroads provided them again.

I made 3 cards this week, one for Anne, Nancy Argos Grandaughter, who had a set back from her concussion, a card for Bill Welch, on the death of Joyce, and a card to Beverly Meyer, a lady so many of us here in the park know, who plays Bridge and comes here quite often, she lives in Progresso Lakes, and she has so many health problems.

Not much to report, Mgrs. on vacation , no pool heater fixed, (too cold for me.)

On a personel note, some of us went to a surprise birthday party for Inge Hunsecker, some of you remember her and her Husband Ron? They lived in our park for several years. Ron passed away close to a year ago. She lives at Llano Grande Park now.

We also went to the Elks here and had their chicken fried steak Thursday, They have that and home made pizza every other Thursday nights.
Untill next time byeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Joyce

Joyce Welch passed away Sept. 10, Funeral is Sat. the 15th at 1:00 p.m.


Sunset Memorial Gardens

Donna - Weslaco game

We went up to the gate and in the 1st quarter it was 14 to 0 Panthers ahead, ended up Donna 28 our Panthers 14. Too bad, I think there was some trouble afterwards, some sirens going off for awhile.

Friday September 7th

I took a picture of Gils Trucks of G & G Concrete Works, in front of the park, he does so much of the concrete work here in our park. He does an outstanding job, so if you ever need a sidewalk, foundation, or driveway poured he's the one to call!

No cards up to sign! That's good news. Haven't had any up all week.

More good news....we are to see some 90 - 93 degree temps this week. We'll have to get out our jackets! The month of August and first week of Sept. has been the hottest yet. 100-105 every day.

We had about 25 for Coffee and Donuts this morning. Darlene Bryant and Clarice Christensen provided them. It was really weird that so many of us wore purple so I took a picture!!

Dorothy Ritter had on her purple swimming suit as you can see, well you can kind of see it, lol. Well...........when there's not much news, you improvise.

Poured concrete today on lot 95.Getting ready to bring in our Asst. Mgrs. mobile.

Big game across the street, Donna and our Weslaco Panthers. They hadn't played in 4 years as there was trouble after a game back then, so there will be a packed stadium tonight.Big rivals!
