News

We are back from Las Vegas! We had a great time. The crazy thing about the trip was that the weather was so cold in New Mexico and Arizona, down to the 30's and unusually cool in Vegas. We had 60's in the morning and 80's during the day, beautiful weather there. When we got home our weather was rather cool, 60 in the morning and 80 or so later in the day, very nice!. No rain,dry all the way out to Vegas, and very dry here. I guess it rains every day in Southern Illinois? Iowa getting alot of rain too.
Cards were sent to Maxine Wallace, (Connie Bardons Mom), Connies Step Dad passed away,a card for Nancy Argo, I had stopped to visit her 2 days after surgery, she is doing well, she had some bone spurs removed from her neck and they went in through the throat, so she has metal stitches which will be removed in a week, a card to The Henningsens, their Grandson was wounded in Afganistan,they heard that he was in stable condition, A card is now up to sign for Al Kruckman, he had a blood clot on his brain,and had surgery, he's home and doing well.
Martha Millender and Opal Wilson provided the donuts this morning. We had around 31 people there. Darlene Bryant had sacks for us to bring non parishable foods for the post office food drive. And Denny Argo gave us an update on Nancy and she's still doing good. Sue reminded everyone about the Mother's Day dinner Sunday at 1:00p.m. and Ken and Sue Barnhart made a beautiful new sign for our park!

Anita and Ken Farley had their Son Steve and Daughter-in-law, Tammy for a visit, then as soon as they left, their other Son , Dave came to visit.

While we were gone the folks here enjoyied a cookout! It sounded like they had a great time! About 60 came and brought meat to grill and potluck, Nancy Argo remarked that some people said they hoped we would have this every month! This Sunday, Mother's Day, the ladies are being treated to a dinner prepared by the men!It looks like 60 or more will be coming. We had our Happy Hour on the patio Wednesday and a nice group showed up.

note

we are on vacation for a few weeks so there won't be much news from the park on here, but do send me anything you would like me to write about!!
Here's a little news from the Bruce Family:
. Bob and Dianna Bruce are annouceing the birth of their !st great-grandson. Mr. Jase Allen Lindsey ,Jase came into our family on April 15th at 9:18 a.m. Jase weighed in at 7lbs 12 oz. and, was 20 and a half, in. long, with lots of black curly hair and big blue eyes. Since concerns about our grandaughter heart condition,were a factor,there was a cardiologist and a c-section team standing by. But God is so good, prayers were answered and she had him naturally with no problems. Thanks to all of our friends at Rio Valley,for all the prayers gifts, and support through the last few months. He truly is a blessing.
