Bobby built a duck house so now we have ducks running around the park!!

Lol Lol

I took these pictures of some whisling ducks and their newly hatched chicks, they were near the Motel fence then walked over across to behind Bev and Dels mobile and were running all back in there, I tried to steer them towards the back of the park but they wouldn't go that direction. The one duck charged at me!!!!

 We had 18 for coffee and donuts. I guess until some get back from their mini vacations it will be like that. John and Irene Quail provided the donuts this morning.

We didn't get much rain as forecasted for the Valley  in the last few days, some got spotty brief heavy downpours, we have another chance for today.

Not much to report this week. Gloria Hauser had a new hip put in. She will be going to rehab for awhile. She said before the surgery she was in terrible pain, and now Ellis said she just complained about the stitches bothering her. So I guess it went real well for her.

There's been quite a few of you with knee, hip,etc. problems but I haven
t been informed of these folks. I do know Bev Talley had some hip surgery, Jerry Maxwell with some knee problems, and also Mary Nelson. I talked to Stan Burkinshaw the other day and he said Jeanie was doing good after her knee surgery which was about 5 weeks ago.

Former residents Buzz and Jo have had to have their hearts shocked to get the heart back in rythym, Buzz is doing well, Jo said she had to have several"jolts" but hopefully now doing better.

Ken and the boys have been working in the hot hot weather out in the 99's this week getting many sewer hook ups replaced, moving some over so they don't get run over so easily. They want to get those useless telephone thingys taken out but need to call the phone co. to see what they say.

It sounds like alot of fun will be had at the Campout this year, with 2 cruises up the Mississippi, Mary Lou Benson said the 1st one filled up so fast that they now have a 2nd one scheduled. Marc Frana will be playing his music one night also. So we will see some of you in August!
