A Halloween Party coming up! Our Happy Hours are going good and so are Donut Fridays. Mardel Blom provided the last Friday donuts and Phyllis and George the week before, the last one will be this coming Friday with the office buying. The first Monday morning meeting will be on  Nov. 6th. We had the Park  Pizza at Mr Gattis last Friday. 

When the pool was first painted it was hard to stand up, so slick, and the steps slippery. Pool shoes were needed. Now the pool surface is not slippery, must be a chemical reaction or something. But glad it's much safer now. 

Wayne Carter passed away Oct. 8th, he will be missed forsure. And just heard that Billie Wells passed on Oct. 19th, Bruce and Billie were here in 2012 and I think until 2019, I could be wrong. I have a card up for Marge Reishus, I understand she had a pacemaker put in.

Well, I guess I will make park badges for another year, $2:00 a piece. I found some neat magnetic ones but they are kind of pricey. If someone wants one they will have to pay $5.00 for them. 

I am still making cards for the park, so if you know of someone needing a card let me know. But I inherited doing pictures for the Veterans board and will not be doing that, so someone needs to take over. We have a lot of Veterans who have not given me a picture for the board, if you submit one to who ever takes over,  put your full name, rank at discharge and years of service, for printing under your picture.

this Summer heat has really burned up some of our yards, brown patches everywhere, hopefully if we get more rain they will come out of it. We got a little shower this A.M.

Mariachi Mariposas, created with the goal of giving women mariachi an opportunity to showcase their talent, has gone above and beyond by breaking barriers in the male-dominated genre by creating their own traditions and legacy.

Would love to hear the  all female Mariachis

Finally got a cool front...and some rain. I just walked my puppy and it felt pretty darn cool, 75. tonight a low of 69.  This coming week average highs , low 80's  and lows of upper 60's and low 70's

Our park looks pretty nice,  I noticed Thursday when I went to bingo at Ranchero Village, their yard in front of their office looks bad compared to ours. Poorly kept. Big trees in front and lots of twigs on the ground, no grass. I go to Southern comfort for Bingo in the Summer and they have a beautiful entrance. It makes a nice impression when that's the first thing you see when coming in to the Park. I'm wondering why the painting of the buildings stopped, only a small portion painted. 

We had a very good Happy Hour Wed. and  Karen Catron bought donuts Fri. 

Just a few more Fridays. and the Office buys the last time. so after the end of the month we will go to Mondays for donuts and coffee. and the meeting.

Besure and thank Carol Noble, lot 69 for the lovely valances she made for us. she was there putting them up earlier this summer, getting up on the ladder and doing it all by herself. Very nice work. She's suggesting new blinds also and said she would put them up also, so probably after more folks get here we will talk about that then.

John and Dale Norris are here, Dales Brother, Wayne Carter is in hospice, so sorry to hear that. Tom Catron will be in re-hab until the 18th and Sue Barnhart is doing good and I look for her home real soon. Cathy Probsts father passed away. My friend , Jack, fell and ambulance took him to the hospital, nothing broken and was released a day after. Jacks real name is John Wayne Kelly, I found that out early this Summer when he did have to go to Re-hab. He lives at 401 and he has no living relatives. Pretty sad situation. He is quite hard of hearing but if you see him out on his porch stop and just say Hi, he would love that. He has a terrible condition called Lymphodema which his legs are swollen about 3 times the size they should be, makes it so hard to get around. He said he's had it for 60 years.
