Sept. 17th


I don't really have much to say this week, just like this squirrel just "chillin" waiting for everyone to start coming in. This little varmit is eating our pecans before they even ripen, making a terrible mess on the patio, as he nibbles off all the outside the pieces hit the patio they leave a black stain and it's next to impossible to get off. He's not one bit afraid of the dog or us. I tried to shoo him out of the tree and he was within 5 feet of me and wouldn't budge, even after I threw one of his pecans at him.
Lamps and Mary Ann Hennigar furnished the donuts Friday. I didn't go, I went aquasizing. Bobby said nobody said a word. Thursday a group went to Willy's B.B.Q.
and some said it was good, I didn't go. We had our regular Social Hour Wednesday.
The only card to sign is for Alice Matson, her niece died.
The Philipps are back.
Get packing everyone!!!!

Sept. 9th



I had to share these pictures I took a couple days ago of the Hummingbirds sitting on my hands! They were so busy eating they didn't realize where they were sitting!
Clarice Christensen and Darlene Bryant provided the donuts this morning. I slept in and didn't go. there is a card to sign for Jacque Anderson as her new little Great Grand child had to have surgery and has problems. Gloria Hauser is still in the hospital and as I understand it there's health issues that the Drs. haven't figured out yet. A card for Mary Norby to go up as she is having knee surgery.
We had a delicious meal of Italian Beef sandwiches, potato salad & dessert on Labor day, thanks to Ken and Sue Barnhart.We all really loved it then this last Wednesday at Social Hour we had left overs!
Instead of the usual Social Hour on Wednesdays we are all going to Willies B.B.Q. Wednesday evening.
The weather is beautiful here now, cooler mornings and evenings! Fall is in the air!

Sept. 2nd


The Hummers are sure swarming the feeders. Do you think they're getting ready to fly South for the Winter? lol
Gene Koliba and Mary Freundshuh provided the donuts this morning.
Sue and Ken Barnhart are making Italian Beef Sandwich meal for Labor day.
Jr. Shepherd passed away. Flora and Jr. lived at 212,I think 2006 or 2007 were the last years they were here. Clay Anrneson, J-1,his wife, Agatha, passed away.
Donna Granath and Peg Haylelan's Brother, Dick Fisher passed away.
Sorry to have to report the sad news this week. Ken Van Dyke is in Hospice now, Fred Swaggert in the hospital, wasn't doing too well, but the last news from Barbara is he is much better, Gloria Hauser is in the hospital for a virul infection, Judy Anselmin is in Valley Grande Manor, also Al Mason has had a hard time with his hip surgery, Dolores said more re-hab for him. Richard and Donna Perkins home burned down, you may have heard of the horrible fires around Ft.Worth.
Beginning Sept. 1st there are a big increase in tax on liquor and beer,for importing, from $1.25 to for $3.50 for a fifth, and beer is now $3.50 for a case. that's quite a jump.
We are not in the path of the next hurricane, I feel for the folks in New Orleans who are.

Friday Coffee and Donuts

Hello, we only had 16 or 18 for donuts this morning, Del and Bev provided them but they're not here so Davis's picked them up for them.
The sealing of the roads is done finally, part last week and finished up Tuesday.
We came in Tuesday and couldn't even park to unload. I recall only 3 cards up to sign this week, one for Al Mason, new hip, and one for Judy Anselmen, she went to the hospital following a car accident she had, but is home now, and one for Rachel Kerr, she fell and broke her jaw, tripped over a hose. She doesn't have to have her jaws wired or anything though.
That new Bass Pro Shop in Harlingen is going to be huge! It's located just as you turn West off of Hwy 77 onto Exp. 83 to come West. The building is up and the parking lot looks like it's going to be huge.
I was watching the food patrol on channel 4, Sunrise Restaurant on N. Texas got 51 demerits....that's a bunch! also a Weslaco Stripes convenience store a lot of demerits (mice poop on food) That restaurant N. of us on the right hand side called El Jalisco got 56 demerits, it's close now, Back several months The Golden Coral and Kenos Restaurant got 48 and 31 demerits, also Weslaco Churches Chicken and Dennys around 21 demerits, let's hope they have cleaned up.
The weather in Iowa was so gorgeous, 50's 60's in the early morning upper 70's to low 80's in the afternoon...here it's the same every day, lows in the 80's highs in the upper 90's to low 100's. Dry here, need a rain bad.
That's it for now, start getting things set aside for your trip down
