He said there's a chance we might get Time Warner Cable to come in and hook all of us upto basic cable, our rent would go up $12.00 that is for everyone including the 99's. Ranchero has this over there already.

Our Club Song

Did you all think our club song "For We Love Our Valley Home" was written for our park, possibly by one of our own? Well, it was not. The song was written by a Mr. Boling and his Forty and Eight Quartet many many years ago.  One lady said she remembers her Mother singing it in the 30's and another said she sang it at Girl Scout Camp, years ago, also a lady remembers it being sung at school in Brownsville. It has been sung all over the Valley even at Lions Club meetings. Also some remember folks handing out copies of this song at the Progresso Bridge! Just this week  a 100 year old lady was interviewed on T.V. (a former Iowan) who came here many years ago and she played the piano and she said her favorite song was.....and she began to play "For we Love Our Valley Home". I was stunned as I always thought that was our song exclusively

     Martha Millender is feeling good after her mastectomy. She says she has not had much pain at all. Clarice Cristensen who fell last week and spent a few days in the hospital is home and even came to our park breakfast yesterday morning. Got a call from Gary Philipp, he is still feeling weak after all he's been through but his appetite is back and we're sure he will keep improving. Rita Henningsen is having health problems, and Becky Rhoades, from Kansas had her liver surgery and is doing good, her surgery is a type of surgery with a long recovery time, we need to put these folks on our prayer list!
     Remember Inge Hunsecker? She is living in Llano Grande Lake Park now, her and her husband Ron lived here years ago.She is celebrating her 50th year as a U.S. citizen, and proud of it. Ron brought her from Germany.
    We are to get a cold front moving in tonight, lows down in 60's in the morning. I've already got my coat out ready for the cold!!!!
Even thogh you aren't here yet we are thinking of you and praying for a safe and enjoyable trip down here to spend another year at R.V.E.
