Monday Nov. 4th

This morning was the first meeting of the Winter Texan Club. A very small group but many on their way or coming in soon.

Bev Telfor was Chairman, with Dorothy Borah Secretery.
 Sam and Helen, Mgrs. came and introduced themselves and told about some of the things that were done this Summer.
Including, new furniture in trhe lobby, Changing the code for the gate, added 2 new computers in the lobby, filled holes in streets, moved many sewer hookups farther to the sides so people wouln't drive over them,got rid of unused phone boxes, also they're not closed during noon hour, they will take turns with the Assistants. Since the folks in 80 do not wish to have wi-fi equipment on their lot, Scott is looking for a solar  powered thingy to put in. Helen said they will not plan on coming to every meeting if there isn't a real need, as they will be working in the office. They will come when there's specific things that need to be dealt with.
There's a list of people who received cards this Summer (starting in mid April),at the back of the hall infront of the bulletin board.. I think over 40 of them. Also the Westeins were omitted from the photo directory so Creative Images  has sent over peal offs with their picture on them for those who got there directorys before last Wed.  They peel off like a stamp and just stick them in on the last page of the photo pages under Ron Zollars picture.All those who will be coming in will have the new folks added to their directory already.
Clyde Reed will take over for Ken Barnhart on the Property Comittee.

Friday October 25th

Another beautiful morning here in the Valley. We have been having cool mornings and mid 80's in the afternoon, very little wind. but guess this coming Monday the winds are going to pick up and we are to have warmer temps.Nice while it lasted.
Well, this morning the Office supplied the donuts. This is usually the last Friday donuts. Then our weekly club meetings start the first Monday in Nov.
Our exciting news this week has been Gary and Jan Philipp getting their new mobile. they said all Summer they had plans to buy a new one, and sure enough they did. It's 18 wide, and really nice.
I think the whole park lined up to see the old one taken out and then the new one coming in.

The old one going out

The new one coming in. The Philipps opted to keep their Texas room so it  had to be removed from the old mobile and an opening made in the side of the new mobile, So the new one had to come in within inches of the Texas room then wenched over to rest right next to the Texas room. The movers did an awesome job.

There's a few changes that I mentioned before...Our codes to the gate were changed so if you're coming in after hours, you need to call the managers...603-674-3869

Did I mention before we have stricter pool hours. As cleaning takes  a bit longer to keep our pool imaculate, and so no one is allowed to be in the pool before 8:00 a.m. Also it is a good thing to go in the hall or wait in the breezeway if waiting on Aberto to finish his pool maintence. No one likes to be rushed and he does an excellent job.

I took some pictures of butterflies on some pretty flowers. There's been big swarms of butterflies in the air lately. But the majority of them are the tiny Monarchs. Which will plaster the hood of your R.V.S and windshields on your way here! Also a picture of the Morning Glories on our trellis and a picture of the huge grapefruit on our tree this year. Must have been all the rain we had earlier.
