Domino table

Wow!
We have a new Domino table. Thanks to Bryan Barksdale!
They have been here a week or more now. Also Mile Stensland is here!

Gary Philipp's Mother passed away from Cancer, they are here but will leave Saturday for Minn. Gary and Jan furnished donuts this morning.

Darlene Griffin and Daughter Dinette are here until Sunday. They have Dar's mobile for sale. I am sure it will sell fast.

Oh, we caught another Skunk! Both in the same area. Maybe when people start coming in they will stay away....

They haven't even started the Chick Fillete yet, I was disappointed.

We are going to the "Mustang" for home made pizza tonight. You do know Fred Goldsberry will be playing there one night a week and Llano Grande one night a week, one night at the Elks Club, Kingsville, and Sat. night at our local Elks Club. Anyone wishing to go to the Elks here let me know and will be glad to sign you in. The Lounge is for Elks members and guests, and they require you to sign in.

Friday Sept. 20th

Of course we are to get more rain today!!!Around noon or so. By tomarrow morning thunder storms again and lots more rain. I would guess we have had way over 9 inches the past 3 weeks.After Sunday it's supposed to clear up finally

This morning Gene Koliba and Mary Freundshuh furnished the donuts. We have had a few more folks come in. Hope you have a safe trip down here. 

Mary Hildes Daughter called and said both Mary and Dick were found unresponsive in their home, another email said it was from medicine mix ups Mary doing better but Dick still in ICU. They need prayers going out for them!........ Update Mary gets to go home and Dick will have to stay in the hospital for 4 or 5 days more
Irene Quail had cataract surgery.
Connie Duffy who had foot surgery is doing good.
Sandy Cerda in 277 was having an angiogram and they were putting in some stints when she had a heart attack! She had to stay 4 days in the hospital. She said last night she's feeling pretty good, but a little weak.
Sandy and husband bought Aloyce and Dave Berglunds mobile

These cute little skunks have been running around our park...but one was caught in a park cage last night!
Yesterday morning just after daylight, I was walking Heidi around on the street behind Cheatham's mobile and out of the corner of my eye I saw a skunk running towards Heidi. I jerked her by the leash and ran , when I looked back the skunk had turned and went back towards the fence. So last night the trap was set and caught the little "stinker"  and no this is not a picture I took  lol Kind of rare for a skunk to come after a dog I think.

Don't forget the code changed on the gate openers. So call if you will be coming in after the gate closes.603-674-3869, (Mgr.Helen's no).

Have a beautiful Fall which begins tomarrow I think!

Services for Rachel

There will be a memorial service for Rachel Kerr, this Saturday, at 1:00p.m.on the 21st  at Indian Hills Church,this is where Bob is Pastor, next week Bob will travel to Fairborn Ohio, to the Rona Community Church where Rachel's Brother Jim is a Pastor.It will be on the 28th of Sept. at 1:00p.m. I was reading about the Church, her Brother has been Pastor there for 25 years. There's a nice picture of it on line if you care to read about it. It's located at 1082 Rona Parkway DR. Fairborn,OH. it's near Dayton, OH.
Did you all know Rachel has 9 Brothers and Sisters? My I bet she had lots of nieces and nephews.
I reported Bob would be staying at Shellitos mobile but he is staying at 294.He couldn't get internet service there, Philipps complained they couldn't get internet at their house either. We always seem to have that trouble.

Wednesday Sept. 11th

There have been quite a few rainbows in the sky, yesterday, late in the afternoon, there was one like this but a double one! We have never seen days like this with wave after wave of rains coming through, every afternoon for a couple weeks now. I would guess roughly 6 or 7 inches maybe more. The lawns are all overgrown. Even some rains in the morning, no drying out times.

Just to inform you all Rachel Kerr took her own life. There are rumors going around, so I did talk to Bob and this is what he said. I don't think they have let the public know yet as to where and how the fire started.

I have a card up for Bob and also for Cleland Thorpe who had back surgery. I just talked to him and he was just getting ready to check out of the hospital. He said in two weeks he can travel and they're planning coming down in October. They live in 34

Most of us have had our gate openers changed to the new code. You do know if you come after hours to call, 603-674-3869, Helen,
So far the hot tub is not fixed, waiting for a new heater I guess.

Kerr's Fire

I had actually posted these pictures earlier and thought how terrible that their home was destroyied, not knowing at that time Rachel was still inside...of course we are all so saddened. Bob said to go ahead and post this sad news. I asked him where he was going to stay and he said in 232, the park has it for sale, but there was a problem getting electricity to it so he's at Shellito's #168
We saw the smoke around 8:30 and heard the fire trucks come in. They did go in to check to see if anyone was in the mobile, they didn't see Rachel laying by the bed in the back bedroom, so dark and thick smoke.Had a bit of a hard time getting hold of Bob as he was teaching, I think in McAllen, and when he got the news and came home he asked where Rachel was,and that she was in the mobile when he left, so then of course they did another search and found her body in the back bedroom.
There's been folks wondering where the water hydrants are, there were none even faintly close to Kerr's. We drove all around the park and found 5. also we will be making sure the City has checked them out to see if they are working. The fire trucks have water on them but I would assume if there was lots of water needed they would need to get to a hydrant. As far as we know there hasn't been any mobile home fires here in the park.There is a video on channel 5 and also on 4 I think. At noon there was pictures and video of the fire.

death at R.V.E.

We are sorry to report Kerr's mobile caught fie and Rachel was found dead in the mobile

Friday September 6th

   

There's not much to report today...
We had our usual Coffee and Donuts, and Darlene Bryant provided them although she is still in Iowa. So Bobby picked them up for her. She said it would be another month before she comes home. Tom and Connie Duffy have been here for a short time and after Coffee and Donuts they left for home. Connie is to have foot surgery the 13th and can't bear weight on it for 2 months.
It's been raining every day, we get pretty big downpours. the mower people are falling behind. 
Gary Philipp's just found out his Mother has Cancer. 
Bob Kerr said Rachel is quite a bit better. We saw them the other day and she did seem more like herself.
Did I tell you all that Bobby had real problems with his computer and mine was running really slow and freezing up. We had a fellow Elk, Dave Hill worked on both of ours. He was very reasonable, he's retired now and does this for something to do, my computer works like a new one and it's 7 years old!!! Our Friend Tom who used to work on computers doesn't answer his phone messages any more and we heard he is working in Harlingen, probably no time for it now. I have Daves phone no. and email if you need it.
We proofed our park photo directory. I mentioned that on Facebook.I got it back over to Creative Images. They really did a great job getting all our cell phone nos, zip codes home phone nos. etc. They made a few mistakes on some of the picture pkgs. but over all a darn good job. I think someone else needs to step up and coordinate the pictorial album next time, which will be in 3 years.We have done it 3 times now.
