October 29th

So sorry to hear about Mardel Blom in 148 her Son passed away and she will head back to Minnesota she just had stints put in her heart not long ago and is still recovering from that, so praying for strength and safe travels back home and back to the park soon ______________________________________________________________________ Sorry I did not do a blog this Summer as I was in Minnesota most of the Summer. getting back here to the park its not easy to find out anything that would be of interest to report to you all. I do know no drinks or no smoking in the pool area, but The Mgr. found some guys smoking so everyone had to get out of the pool and the gate to the pool got locked with a huge chain and paddlock and I saw the lock still on the next day. ______________________________________________________________________ The new gas station should open soon, they're pouring cement for the drives and a huge 8 ft. fence was put up between the station and our park, I think it looks real nice. ______________________________________________________________________ I am doing the cards again but was greatful to Alice for putting up cards this Summer for me ______________________________________________________________________

This machine being pulled by Al Jacobs golf cart LOL He pulled it up to work on it, I think it rakes the newly mowed hay into rows to be bailed....I have learned a lot about farming Ha Ha ______________________________________________________________________ I know now that a farmer has to be a very smart guy to know about cows and calves, fertilizers, and fixing machinery etc etc. _________________________________________________

I got to view the Fall foliage for the first time in over 30 years. When I went to Iowa it was always in the summer, so never got to see the changing seasons for years ___________________________________ Well, I dont call my blog Donnas Ramblings for nothing and I have rambled long enuff, so wont bore ya'll any more. Happy to be back in the Valley with 90 degree temps almost every day compared to 70's and lows of 20's and 30's in the mornings _______________________________ Our first meeting will be Nov. 4th and there may be much discussing about our ice machine, need a new one. Most used by workers to fill their coolers in the Summer, some parks dont even have an ice maker, Southern Comfort does not have one as they said it was outside and broke down all the time, also at Ranchero Bingo a guy said they dont have one there.lots of people have icemakers and they still make icecube trays lol buying a few bags of ice for some of the events would sure be a lot cheaper than paying to keep an ice machine running. My opinion only ___________________________________________________________

Happy Halloween

My husband,Bobby loved Halloween, he always came up with some of the coolest costumes, he actually started making up his costume 3 weeks before our Halloween party and he took 1st prize several times during our years at the park, (32yrs) This year the Halloween Party sounds like a hoot, first off a golfcart parade, , fun games, costume contest, Karoke, 50/50 draws, folks bringing finger food, pop corn, Iced tea and Lemonade
