Friday September 7th

I took a picture of Gils Trucks of G & G Concrete Works, in front of the park, he does so much of the concrete work here in our park. He does an outstanding job, so if you ever need a sidewalk, foundation, or driveway poured he's the one to call!

No cards up to sign! That's good news. Haven't had any up all week.

More good news....we are to see some 90 - 93 degree temps this week. We'll have to get out our jackets! The month of August and first week of Sept. has been the hottest yet. 100-105 every day.

We had about 25 for Coffee and Donuts this morning. Darlene Bryant and Clarice Christensen provided them. It was really weird that so many of us wore purple so I took a picture!!

Dorothy Ritter had on her purple swimming suit as you can see, well you can kind of see it, lol. Well...........when there's not much news, you improvise.

Poured concrete today on lot 95.Getting ready to bring in our Asst. Mgrs. mobile.

Big game across the street, Donna and our Weslaco Panthers. They hadn't played in 4 years as there was trouble after a game back then, so there will be a packed stadium tonight.Big rivals!

Save the trees

Look what happens when we cut down too many trees.Global warming is one thing, but see above and look at what might happen if we continue to clear our forests!We have to stop cutting down trees! This is getting serious!

In our back yard

The parrots come and sit on the electric wires some times, several days in a row when Bobby was working out on the patio they came and kept watching him real close, every move he made their heads would turn and watch him closely! I think most of the time small groups of them (7 to 9)of them. Then I got angry when I came out the other day and they were grabbing pecans off our tree and just dropping them, they rolled down the shed one after the other, I yelled at them and they flew off. There must have been 50 pecans on the ground. Grrrr I wished I had my camera with me yesterday late in the afternoon as I saw what I thought was a white bird on the ground just a few feet from our bird bath, it was pecking away on the ground. I got closer and saw that it was a parakeet, a quite large one, it was actually pale to bright yellow and a patch of green on it's back. I am going to watch for it as some times they hang around in the same area for awhile

Friday August 31st

    Well, this morning Rexroads furnished donuts. Around 25 showed up.
I suppose you have seen on the Weather that we have been having very hot weather down here. This next seven days are to be close to 100 every day. the worst part about it is the humidity had been so high. (80 to 90%)
     I saw on Facebook that Jerry Elwood has moved to The Altoona Care Center for rehab.
Gary Philipp went into the hospital Monday with 105 degree temp. he was in ICU for pneumonia. Yesterday,Thursday, he was moved to a regular room. So a few more days in the hospital and he will go home. A set back but he will get over it and get back to his Cancer treatments.We are sure thinking of these two.
