Sept. 23rd

 Good news, we now have new assitant Mgrs. Bill and Annie Perkins. We met them this last Friday. They will really be an asset to our park and great help to Dan & Jan.

Our former Assistant mgrs. Jim and Joyce are moving back to Oklahoma due to health reasons, Jim is in Rehab at this time.


This morning was the coolest morning since last April, well it seems like it,  we have had he hottest Summer I can remember and the most humid and lots of rain. We had  61 this morning and it got up to 88. The rest of the week mainly low 70's and highs low  90's and the best part of the lower temps is the lower humidity.

Very sorry to hear that Gary Schisel from Garner,Ia. passed away, they lived at 299. They had sold several years ago.

 Getting all the Palms trimmed up! They are doing a great job this time!!


Our hot tub is being worked on, They found lots of problems beneath the ground. 

Haven't started on the pool yet. 

We only got a little over .42 inches of rain from the storm that came close to the gulf. Mostly Cameran County and Padre Island got quite a bit of rain and some winds, we were very lucky.

Of course Football games going on across the street, enjoy hearing them. 

People still wear masks in stores here.
