July 18th

This morning Red and Stan Floyd furnished donuts. We just had the one card up to sign for the Family of Larry Dixon. And now a card for Darlene Ales

Helen and Sam should be returning home this coming week. they have been on the East coast for their vacation. We were in good hands with our new Assistant mgrs. Bob and Vicki.

I have some neat photos from our friends from up North:

This photo was sent to me from LeRoy Larson, he camps on J-1, it is of Arlene Lyyken, lot #150, Josie Miller, former resident, Elaine Dohman, also a former resident, Bud Lykken, and LeRoy Larson! Taken in West Fargo. I just about missed the picture sent from Leroy as he is not in my address book and the picture went in my spam folder and I almost deleted it, whew, glad I saw it.

Jim and Darlene Ales are at home here Clearwater, Kansas. Darlene is having knee replacement surgery on the 21st of this month.

Ron and Terry Ruser, who live here at 416 in the Winter, attended Ballooon Fest which takes place at the Red Rock Park near Pella. I wonder if they took the balloon ride...if we were to come to the event Ron would probably take us on a hot air ballon ride...right Ron?

Please click on the photo to view it up close!!! John and Dale Norris, who live at #171 here in the park, sent me this wonderful Family picture! Dale said there were 41 attending their family reunion in Edgerton, KS, their Son and Daughter-in-law,
Daughter, grand Daughter and husband, and Great Grand Daughter were there along with Dales two sisters and two Sister-in-laws and many of their children.
Thanks for sending!!!!

You may also enjoy seeing what some of us do down here during the Summer!!!
Especially one certain talented man, Ken Barnhart! He spent many hours on the picture. He has also made some beautiful fountains

ATTENTION

Diana Bruce and Catherine Gibbs!!! And others who like a good wine!

Isn't this beautiful? The different types of wood really are striking. besure to click on it to view it close up, it is over a foot tall, the tiny grapes and other details took Ken over 90 hours to complete

Can you see the wine flowing out through the bottles? The sound of the fountain is so soothing.
They may be a bit pricey but you will never find one just like them anywhere.

I don't know how much I will be blogging in the next few weeks...vacation time!
