Thursday July 24th

It sure has been hot here in the Valley, 100 every day. 

Gene Koliba and Mary Freundshuh furnish donuts this Friday. We will be on the road.

We just heard that our friend Mary Jean Steward who lives here at 302 and in Nebraska in the summer, had hip replacement surgery last week. We will get a card up for her...

The latest news is the big shootout in LaHoya, a body was found and the suspect tracked to LaHoya, he held up in a house and shot 2 policemen, they are expected to recover, the gunman was killed. They said LaHoya is where a lot of drug loads come thru. 

The latest is our Gov. Perry is bringing in the guard to help the border patrol stop the illegals from coming in, all the children coming over take their attention away from their duties of keeping the bad guys out of Texas.

I guess they are really pouring into our Country.

Also the killing of 10 people in Progresso. The towns people said nothing happened. There's so much cover up down there, the people don't want anyone to feel they're in danger going to Progresso. we been going quite a bit this summer for the Dentist, no problems.

I will try to report on Fridays as usual if I have internet access. 

Here's some pics I took this week

The Martins have all their little ones raised now, they hang out around their house and all along the wires in the back

Many of these are the new babies all grown up. It's funny at night there are none sitting out on the houses, they must all crowd in together!!!

These are two of the planters Bobby made, he just hung them on the side of our house so Anita Farley, our neighbor, could enjoy them. There's Purslane planted in the little pots, purslane is similar to Moss Rose.
Below is our fountain Bobby made, I had some pictures of it on facebook and in a slide show...Ken has now started making some fountains too.

Well, Ron Sutherland has been spending a lot of time on his 1969 Chevy truck, he's done lots of work on it, new dash and seats and front end etc. it is something!

Ron's camera shy but manage to get him and Bobby looking under the hood!

We will see some of you in Clermont!
