Friday May 21st

Good morning everyone!

This morning we had our coffee and donuts which were furnished by Mary Freundshuh and Gene Koliba. There was a very sparse group there this morning.
We discussed the upcoming potluck open to all at Ken & Sue Barnharts#276.Ken is smking meats and we are all bringing a side dish to pass. It will be fun.
Also our Memorial Day Dinner will be Mon. the 31st and Bobby Thomas will be cooking burgers and we will be having beans, potato salad, chips, home made icecream and some other desserts. Aderton's are making the icecream, yum yum!
This Thursday, whom ever wishes to go, will meet at the hall and carpool over to Willies B.B.Q. That is aways a good place to eat.
Every Thursday morning there is breakfast at Tex-Mex. I understand only 14 went yesterday morning.
Do you all know Alice Matson? She finally got her hearing aids! She's delighted with them. We went to bingo over to Trails End last Tuesday. Monday is Bingo at Southern Comfort and Friday is Bingo at Leisure World. Alice is supposed to go to Hawaii next week. Her nieces are taking her, one is a Nurse, so she will be in good hands, and a trip of a lifetime for her.
We had a huge rain this week, lightening and lots of thunder. A tree was split by lightening at our Asst. mgrs. house and Connie said their storm door blew open and bent it pretty bad. But can't find any other damage around or none reported in Weslaco around town. Flooding of course in some low places.There were tornado warnings North of here but nothing damaged by them. The grass is lush and green here in the park and the mowers going like crazy all over the park after the rain. It looks very nice this year, all the yards look very neat and trimmed.
Work on the roofs of the main hall and office is about complete. Starting on the 99's next, I think. Electrical posts etc.
Dale Clark is in the hosp. He was having some tests done. A card will be going up for Darlene Cook, whose Cancer is back.

We are supposed to get showers possibly in the next few days, the weather man said splash and dash showers! Some may get rain others not. We could use it.

The lawns all look very very nice.
My liitle Min-pin puppy has that mange that lots of puppies get. I had her to the Vet this morning, She has to have medicine for 2 months every day. And she got a shot today, and cried and cried, as it burns for awhile...poor baby. I found this on the internet, I though it was cute.

the Wedding

Kay Gibson did a fantastic job decorating our hall for the wedding. There were darling little churches and little bouguets of flowers on 10 - 12 tables and a lovely large arrangement on the stage. All the tables had pretty table covers and I helped a little...We made up huge trays of deli meats and cheeses, chips pickles, vegy's, and Del and Bev had a huge cake with a cute bingo card and bridal sillouette stuck on the cakes (I dont know where those came from...) someone who has way too much time on their hands lol.They met at bingo so Bev asked me to make something up suitable for the cake. They were cute.Also Kay had lovely flower arrangements on the serving tables and on the cake table. I personally didn't take a whole lot of pictures as her children were taking many snapshots of folks who attended and at the Church etc. Bev's Daughter was her bridesmaid and Del's Son was his attendent.the wedding was fun and when Del went to say his vows the preacher stopped him and said "Del speak up" the people can't here ya! Now lets start over...and everyone laughed. Then when the minister asked for the rings from Dels son, he acted like he had forgot them but soon found them..it was so funny. there must have been 160 or more at the Church and then everyone came to our park for the resception and dance.
Fred Goldsberry played music. a great time was had by all. I know the whole park was there and many from Del's park and from the Church were there.
