This blogs sole purpose has transitioned to one of keeping in touch with each other. Over the years it has been primarily for letting everyone know what is happening and also for promotion to add more folks to our Winter Texan family. The core of things has changed and we must change along with it. We still want to know what is happening with our friends no matter where they may be located. So continue to let us know where you are and what is on your plate.

Story from Bill & Kay
For those of you who know Bill & Kay well this will give you a chuckle and not surprise you. For those of you who don't know them well, I hope you will get a chuckle. Bill & Kay were getting ready to go on a trip so Kay had pared down all the food in the fridge. A day before they were headed off on their trip Bill decided to go to the Farmers Market. Kay told him NOT to buy anything. Firmly she said, "DO NOT buy anything!". Bill has a shopping problem that is famous. He cannot seem to buy just one of anything.
Kay had a few errands to run before taking off on their trip and she came home to find 8 quarts of strawberries, 24 ears of corn, 4 pints of Blueberries, ( 4) 5 pound bags of sugar, 2 dozen eggs, and 6 tomatoes!
This is what Kay emailed to her friend Julie:
Funeral arrangements are pending for William R. Stilson, age 69 of Curtice, Ohio. He was reportedly found buried under 8 quarts of strawberries, 24 ears of corn, 4 pints of Blueberries, ( 4) 5 pound bags of sugar, 2 dozen eggs, and 6 tomatoes. He is survived by his overworked distraught wife Kay
Do you know anyone with this same problem? Maybe we need to start a support group?

Stilsons visit Brookers
Stilson's went on a summer trip to Iowa and Minnesota and then returning to Ohio by way of Michigan and stopped to visit with us. We are having a great time with lots of stories and catching up.
We gave them a tour of Thunder Bay Resort and happened to see the Elk. Resort customers pay to see the Elk and we were in a 'Keep Out' area to see them so do not tell anyone.;-) The big boy in this picture did not take his eyes off of us the entire time we looked at him.

Hinckley MN Reunion Pictures
I should have done this along time ago but I'm retired and have too much to do. These are pix of of 2010 Magnolia Park reunion in Hinckley, MN which was held during the week of July 12th. There were 30 people from the park. We all enjoyed renewing old conversations. Fun was had by all. LeRoy Misfeldt
And Barb says: All of these people are well known Magnolia residents and you should know all their names so we are going to make you get out your dusty, trusty Magnolia directory to identify them all. None of them look a day older than they did last winter!
Hint: Not all of them are pictured with their spouse!
