Friday August 11th

It doesn't seem possible that school is about to start! The Summer is going by fast.
We got a beautiful rain yesterday. It really came down hard and then for awhile a nice gentle rain. The poor fruit trees were really needing it, and the lawns were getting brown.
In the breezway in the park by the ice machine rainwater always collects a lot, plumbers have been working there and putting in new drain pipes, so it's pretty torn up right now but it will be sure be nice and we won't have to wade to the bathrooms when we get a heavy rain LOL


The campout going on this week...haven't heard much or gotten any pictures yet, I did hear that there wasn't the turnout that has come in prior years. I think some people like us aren't r.v.ing it any more.
We sure enjoyied the lovely weather when we were in Iowa this Summer. Hope they have good weather for the campout.
Al and Dolores Mason provided donuts this morning. We had fun last night at Happy Hour, after everyone got there we called Dominos Pizza and had some really good pizza.It was something different to do. I found out this morning Red Floyd spiked a high temperature,went to a night clinic, I think, he got a shot and was sent home

We have a few cards up to sign. one is to Gary Lungren, eye surgery, and one to Rita Sandavol#301 she had gall bladder surgery
