Thinking of Rex  and Pat  praying they will soon be well.

Just an update on Rex Rexroad. He did have a 3 by-pass heart surgery last Frday the 13th. Needed a little extra time in the hospital to build up his lungs, but now in re-hab!

Also prayers needed for our friend Pat Olafson from Canada, she had a tumor on her brain and had surgery, now to go for chemo and radiation. I spoke with Diana Ateah this morning and she said she's awfully weak.

By the way I am doing cards for a  while for Helen. If you know someone in need of a card let me know by email or call me. bodogabby@aol.com 956-968-6684

July 13th

A beautiful morning here in S. Texas.  Thanks to the rains everything is green and grass growing fast. 

Ken busy selling mobiles...several people who lost their home in the flood. Also a new resident from Harlingen, Larry, his wife passed away 4 months ago, he came to our Happy Hour and introduced himself to everyone. 

As I write this Rex Rexroad is in open heart surgery. I was told he was at the heart Dr.  yesterday and the Dr. said he could do the surgery today, and he should not wait. Everyone is anxiously waiting any news. 

I made breakfast tacos instead of having donuts this morning, although I did make  Cinnamon Monkey bread for those who wanted a sweet, like Bobby and I. Very few there, so many gone this week. I  plan on biscuits and gravy when there's no one down to bring donuts next. 

Went to Mexico with Irene the last two Thursdays, my they were sure crowded. Had a sweet roll at the Bakery besides shopping and the dentist, manicure-pedicure. No, not me  lol

The potluck for R.V.E. residents and former ones was held in Story City, IA and 43 were there. Maybe someone will send me pictures, I hope soon.

I will write more when we hear how Rex is

June 27-July 1st, we had the pleasure of having Bruce and Billie Wells from Kansas come to visit Gerald and I in Brandon, MB Canada. Had a great time with them, then we all headed out to camp in Cypress River on July 2nd to visit Gerry and Yvonne De Smet where we all enjoyed a lovely supper and some more Dirty Board games. They brought us for a lovely noon meal at the friendship centre on Tues and then all three couples headed out to Victoria Beach where Earl and Pat Olafson and Larry and Diane Ateah live. We all camped at Larry and Diane's.
This was our largest gathering with Ross and Kathy Mcauley and Henri and Francis Hryniw already there the day before.
We had 7 couples for the July Texas gathering and had a wonderful time with games, pot luck meals, fish feed provided by Earl and Pat Olafson, visiting the gift shop which is owned by Pat and Diane's sister. What an amazing gift shop!
We had a wonderful time we all had. Just a super bunch!
Here we are at Gerry and Yvonne De Smet's in Cypress River in the first two pics and at Victoria Beach the next two pics.

 If anyone from the US would like to join us Aug 7, 8 & 9th, to let me know gmessner@mymts.net.

So far we have Ross and Kathy, Gerry and Yvonne, Gerald and Agnes, Paul and Sharon, possibly Larry and Diane.

July 6th

I hope you all had a nice 4th of July. We had a potluck and over 32 people came.
Dorothy Ritter provided donuts this morning. We only had 12 people or so.

I was sent these great pictures: Doug and Sandy Novak celebrated their 50th Anniversary and this is a picture which has their whole original wedding party in it!

Pretty neat

And a Family picture minus one Grandson

I see they're getting ready to pour concrete on lot 24, a park model coming in.
Not much news right now. So many gone for either a few weeks or months.
