Friday October 25th

Another beautiful morning here in the Valley. We have been having cool mornings and mid 80's in the afternoon, very little wind. but guess this coming Monday the winds are going to pick up and we are to have warmer temps.Nice while it lasted.
Well, this morning the Office supplied the donuts. This is usually the last Friday donuts. Then our weekly club meetings start the first Monday in Nov.
Our exciting news this week has been Gary and Jan Philipp getting their new mobile. they said all Summer they had plans to buy a new one, and sure enough they did. It's 18 wide, and really nice.
I think the whole park lined up to see the old one taken out and then the new one coming in.

The old one going out

The new one coming in. The Philipps opted to keep their Texas room so it  had to be removed from the old mobile and an opening made in the side of the new mobile, So the new one had to come in within inches of the Texas room then wenched over to rest right next to the Texas room. The movers did an awesome job.

There's a few changes that I mentioned before...Our codes to the gate were changed so if you're coming in after hours, you need to call the managers...603-674-3869

Did I mention before we have stricter pool hours. As cleaning takes  a bit longer to keep our pool imaculate, and so no one is allowed to be in the pool before 8:00 a.m. Also it is a good thing to go in the hall or wait in the breezeway if waiting on Aberto to finish his pool maintence. No one likes to be rushed and he does an excellent job.

I took some pictures of butterflies on some pretty flowers. There's been big swarms of butterflies in the air lately. But the majority of them are the tiny Monarchs. Which will plaster the hood of your R.V.S and windshields on your way here! Also a picture of the Morning Glories on our trellis and a picture of the huge grapefruit on our tree this year. Must have been all the rain we had earlier.

Folks are arriving daily now  here in the park. It's aways good to see them coming in.
We have been running photo directorys to people as we learn who has come in. A lot of good comments on them, thanks  so much. But I think this directory was the best we've had yet because of the new backgrounds for the pictures and the nice quality paper used in them, making the colors pop!
I am going to write a thank you to "Creative Images and More" for their fine work.

I have heard that Doris Williams is in assisted living but  Marty is coming down. If anyone knows anything about them let me know. Don McEllwee not doing too good.

The pool is being kept up so great. It looks wonderful and I was in the last 2 days and it's perfect. The new time for opening the pool is at 8:00 a.m. As Ken and Roberto both agree it takes more time to keep it really clean. The heater is fixed in the hot tub.

The Elks Lodge starts this Sunday with their Fried Chicken dinners! I plan to volunteer this Sunday, many folks are waiting for this to start and people come for miles around to enjoy the hand breaded,chicken,  home made potatos and gravy, coleslaw, green beans, and bread. They start serving around 10:30.

We could sure use a rain here. Too bad it rains inches in some weeks then we dry out so bad in between.

I went to "Stats" on my blog and it said I had 3200 hits on the blog last month, how can this be? Some must go on it every day or twice a day!!! I better watch what I write!!!!!!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month...get the mammagrams ya'll

Art and Peg Bloom provided the donuts this morning. It sure is a beautiful bright Sunny morning!
People are starting to filter in. It's good to see everyone again.
There has been several new folks buy mobiles this Summer. I hope to post their names and maybe pictures soon.
 Darlene Griffin and Daughter were here last week and got Dar's mobile ready to sell, sold her car and golf cart. she is in assisted living in DesMoines,IA. and said she really likes it there and has met several new friends.
Sorry to hear that Donna Passage passed away. She had a stroke here before selling out and moving to her Daughters. and then a massive one. Gary and Jan Philipp just returned from Minn.after attending the funeral for Gary's Mother. Jack Bardon our former Mgr. in the hospital in MO. has had a rough time of it. Several conflicting stories as to his condition, but do know he has been quite ill. I talked to Darlene McElwee this week. She said Don is not doing too well, he's so weak. He had surgery for an aneurysm near or on the kidney almost 2 weeks ago. He is being moved to a rehab facility.
I went to go to Churches Chicken the other day and there's nothing there! No building or anything there on the lot. Building a new Churches on the same location...the one on Bus.83 almost to Texas Blvd.South side. Panda Express is not looking like it's going to be opening soon, and the new car wash on Pike and Westgate is really coming along! I see they're landscaping with palms and shrubs yesterday when I went by.
