August 22nd

 Weather - The Rio Grande Valley's News Channel

You can see for yourself what our weather is doing.  Here in the lower Valley is just a slight chance for flooding. Possible only 1 - 3 inches of rain. It comes in waves. It's moving very fast at 18 mph. Winds are not to be a problem for us in the Valley. 10 mph on the average and gusts up to 50mph

Just looked to see how many hits to my blog last month 1713,  I wish I could see who all does view the blog.

  A big shout out to Aileen Mittleberg, I understand she enjoys reading the blog and hope they are doing ok. I have her "secret" recipe for her Beanbarn Cornbread!!! It is really good with a pot of ham and beans !!!! remember they had the little place at the Flea Market and served the beans and cornbread. Also later had the popcorn and remembering how we got to have some of that here in the park left after the flea market.

Let me know if you have left the park and still read the blog, you may comment here. It will be interesting to see who all reads the blog yet.

I have been thinking of selling my mobile, too much outside work, along the mobile, 61 feet of flower beds and in the back where the orange tree was and also where the grapefruit tree was are about 3 foot squares around the tree stumps with plants growing, but mostly weeds! Also along the mobile were a lot of "Pentas" which were beautiful until the terrible heat which started  over 2 months, they looked sick, and weedy so I found a great lawn care man to take all of the flower beds out and also on the patio and put plastic down and white rocks, no more flower beds! His name is Diego and he came with his wife at 8:a.m. and they left at 5:00 p.m. worked continually in the 100 degree temps, he does a lot of work in the parks especially 1015 park. there was a sink outside to wash up in before you come in and I had him take that out and cap the water pipe to it. He is reasonable folks, so if you want all the weeding done before you get here or after, I can give you his cell no. Btw his wife worked just as hard as he did!




I will write more soon! 



oh, I have a new puppy, a Yorkie, her name is Mia

August 11th

 Time is going fast until all the winter folks will be returning. 


A note from Gil, one of our lawnmower guys



Gil is going to charge everyone $30.00 a month for lawnmowing starting in October.

He does a great job

We have 2 new air-condioners for the big hall.

I have had to bring my own tape player for aqua sizing, which i do only occasionally. The one player quit completely and also the tapes are bad. 

We need rain sooo bad also heat of 100 for over 55 days or more, grass is like shredded wheat! 

I got donuts this morning, very few coming up.
