August 28th

Management would like everyone to put this sticker on each of  your vehicles for Security reasons. Upper left! they are only about 2 1/2 in. across or so. You will receive yours when you get down here.

Harvey and Anita Madsen are here now, making R.V.E. their permanent home!
We had Social Hour with them Wednesday afternoon.

The new bank North of What-a-Burger is really coming along. It is going to be a really beautiful building, they are doing landscaping now, it's kind of Southwestern in style.

Dan and Sue Hileman from Illinois were down here, early Summer, just for a short time, they wanted to provide donuts this week, even tho they're  back home now so Ken B. purchased the donuts with money he left for them, that was so nice. We do take turns buying the donuts and making the coffee every Friday but we some times have more Fridays than folks who sign up. there were 28 people this morning at donuts, so a big thank you to the Hileman's!

We are having a Labor Day B.B.Q. Sue Barnhart just brought up a sign up sheet this morning. The guys will cook half chickens on the new grill and everyone will bring a dish to share. We will eat around 5:00 p.m. Labor Day.

We had a beautiful morning this morning, lower humidity and cool breezes. Very nice for walking this morning.

Bob and Ken's project

Here's a before and after picture. Bobby thought the base of the tree was ugly and with Ken they built this bench around the tree

Pretty nice ay?

Oh Oh I'm late

Just got back from Canasta and I have been reminded quite a few times that there's nothing new on the blog!!! Oh dear I did forget!!
This morning Costley's provided the donuts, around 24 there. 
Wednesday night we had the biggest and longest dangerous severe storm I have ever been through down here, we had no damage as the winds did not get up too high, but the lightening  and thunder went on for over 3 hours, we got atleast 5 inches of rain or more. Record breaking!
Our dog was shaking and pacing, hard to get her to calm down, in fact she never did until the thunder and lightning was in the distance. It came from the West heading East Northeast.Last night they called for more storms but not as severe, but we didnt get anything, and today we are supposed to get scattered showers, so far none!
Helen Dee passed away, you may remember John and Helen, He passed within the last year I think.
Our Managers are expected to come home from vacation today some time.
Bobby is doing really good after his kidney stone blasting! Ken and Bobby been working out in the 100 degree weather all day every day doing a project which I will have pictures of tomarrow.He said to tell you all thanks for all the really nice get-well cards you all sent and we both thank you for the Anniversary cards we received.
I will write some tomarrow. I have some pictures to post of Bobby and Ken's latest project!
Oh, but I will post my projects.... I have been making a lot of jewelry mostly earrings and bracelets but also doing some craft sewing.

 Fabric boxes for whatever, (thanks to Mary Lou Benson for the idea) and below a quite a few "mug rugs" and bowl coozies and some hot pads that match the coozies! They make a cute quick gift and I use my rug mug at my computer and we use them on the end tables to protect them.

So we keep busy 

Friday August 14th

Good morning! This morning felt cool very nice walking early this morning. I took this picture a few mornings ago, we do have pretty sunrises and sunsets here.

Red and Stan Floyd provided us with donuts this morning. Good crowd around 24 there.

We are still about 100 every day but this weekend we may see 95, and maybe a scattered shower or two in the next few days. We sure could use some rain.

School is starting soon and the football boys have been practicing for awhile already, I saw them on the field this morning , also the band is practicing a lot and we can hear them. It was 82 this morning at 9:00 so I guess it isn't too awfully hot for football practice. I think the first day of school is August 24th.

We have a new maintenance man, he is young and ambitious, doing a great job .

Not a whole lots of news to report from down here, it won't be long and ya'll will be headed down, the Costley's are already here.

Here's a news clipping about the Weslaco Little Leaggue:

RIO RANCHO, N.M. — There was little doubt in the hearts and minds of the Weslaco faithful that their beloved Little League juniors would earn a trip to the World Series in Michigan, and now their opponents know this as well.

On Tuesday, the 13- and 14-year-old Weslaco Little Leaguers were crowned Southwest Regional champions — this in addition to their title as Texas West champs — after securing their second victory over Texas East in a convincing 10-0 showing.

The win culminated a 4-0 run, going undefeated at the regional tournament held in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Along the way, the team bested Jackson Parish, Louisiana, 12-9, Petroglyph of Albuquerque, New Mexico, 8-4, and Texas East in a previous contest, 11-10.

Next stop, Taylor, Michigan — the site of the Junior League World Series, which represents Weslaco’s goal at the start of the season and where six teams will compete to be crowned champions.

Pretty cool ay?

The Birthday bash at Clermont!!!
