Sept. 29

 

Our club song dates back many years ago.

We will be having good chances of rain starting today and most days this coming week, highs below 100, we will have to get our jackets out Ha Ha! Our yards are looking pretty bad, lots of large brown areas, hoping they will green up.

They finally finished the overlay on the streets yesterday. Everything looking good here in the park.  3 new air cons for the big hall  were put in this Summer. The pool looks nice but it's very slick so besure to bring pool shoes. 

We had our first Wed. Happy Hour, over 24 attended and we just brought fingerr food. Sorry to say Sue Barnhart didnt make it as she was in the hospital for back problems then going to ReHab. She was encouraging us to come to Happy Hour and get  it going again. We just didnt have enough folks to attend this Summer. 

We have had a few folks coming in already for the Winter. My good neighbors, Del and Bonnie Hicky came in and also good friend Mardel Blom. Spragues are here now and Judy Dekoning. 

This morning was our Friday donuts, furnished by Patty Lamp, I picked them up for her at H.E.B. and they were nice and fresh, they now have Apple Fritters!

I have been an Elk member for 29 years, I joined since Bobby kept dragging his feet, so glad I joined.

The Elks do so much for the Community, they support youth,  serve Veterans, and meet needs of poor people in the Community. The Elks have joined forces with Donate Life America, to increase donations of organs, eyes, and tissue.They help physically handicapped children, they give scholarships, and have a drug awareness program, and observe Flag day which the Elks started in 1907 & it was later adopted by congress as an official observance. Maybe think about joining here in Weslaco, you would be very welcome at other Elks clubs all over the U.S.

 We are getting our streets overlayed , looks better. 

Expecting some good rains in the next few days, cooling down to upper 90's, 😄

We are going to miss the Hamlets, I see one of those "pods" at their house. 

Their mobile sold real fast.

 Thanks for the comments from some of you who read my blog. 

So sorry to hear Jackie Jacobs passed away.

Well, the heat continues, over 77 days of 100 or more temps. I hope most of the lawns with those dead grass spots will green up once we get some decent rains. 

Watched the tree trimmers trim the palms, can't hardly tell they trimmed them. Today the men were blowing the streets and gutters, a coat of paint was put on the pool deck. Still lots of painting to do on the hall. 

Quite a few  people in the pool at night, visitors I assume, as there's always kids with them. Funny how I was told we couldnt go over to our  sister park, was told "Liability" I guess maybe one or two would have wanted to go over, we go for Bingo over there, and a few years ago we were told we could go over there any time and use any of the facilities, infact one time our former assistant mgr. and I went over to their and used their tread mills. 

Still a lot of mobiles being remodeled, I wonder who will pay the high dollar thats being asked, Some are $75 k and 150k. and one being remodeled now will probably go for  a lot more.
