Hi everyone!

Well, it won't be long and we will start to see folks coming down for the Winter.!!

As I have said before this Summer has been the quietest I have ever seen it. Hard to get a game of cards up, very little participation for Coffee and Donuts and Happy Hour. We have some very nice new folks in the park who will be fun and participate. I have been going to Bingo at other parks this Summer. Really enjoying that,  I've met  a lot of people from Trails End, Southern Comfort, and Ranchero village. 

Some of them where their Park badges, making it easier to remember their names and which park they're from. I hope  more of our folks will where their badges at the different functions this year with so many new people.I will be making badges so let me know if you need one or need to replace yours.

We finally got some much needed rain! I know forsure over 4 inches within a few days, it was very spotty and some got a lot more. The only bad thing is their picking  their cotton and there's huge bales around the countryside but a lot is still in the field and the cotton growers will not get the best prices for their cotton.

It sounds like everyone who went to the "Peachy Festival" in Southern Il. had a really great time. Sure wish I could have gone. Sure would like to see some pictures of all the activities ya'll attended. I know I heard the big dance and B.B.Q. out to Cochran's Sons  was really fun, And great food. A little line dancing I heard about!!

Around town there is quite a bit of new businesses going in.  A tremendous amount of new Apartment housing and home building. Weslaco growing  so fast! So sad to lose the Flee Market. It doesn't look like they are going to rebuild as yet, piles of rubble all over, slow cleaning up. Some buildings saved toward the back.

So much work being done here in the Park. Flooring going in a little slowly but it will be done when everyone gets back. I met Nathan's Daughter who was laying flooring in our card room, she really knows what she's doing. Pot holes filled and soon overlay will make our streets look nice. Pool kept up and sparkling clean. Mgr. Dan, when the guys were off was working hard  scrubbing the sides etc.  the pool looks great.

 Some mobiles for sale, they refurbish some of them and they are really nice. 

See ya soon!
