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.

Thinkin'
This is the time of year when our thoughts are turning south.
Butch and I will be headed that way in about 10 days but we will be taking a long time to get there as the song says. Butch has visions of pool shots dancing in his head with golf on the side. I have put a moratorium on Mexican food until we can get down there for the "REAL" thing. And of course the people!!! Because that is what we miss most!!
See ya'all soon!

Well we dodged this one
Just thought I would let you folks up NORTH know that we dodged hurricane IKE with no damage in the park or even in the Valley as far as I know.... We can just count our Blessings that we didn't have to get out of Dodge , so to speak....We are still waiting for the rest of out Magnolia Family to start coming in for the new season and are getting impatient so to speak.....If it gets too cold up there, come on down as it's very warm here....(and green)...

Labor Day at Magnolia Park
Well here it is Labor Day and the fall season fast approaching.... Soooo we have to have a picnic to celebrate the Holiday of course....Don Soole and Don Howard as usual took care of providing the good food... We had bratwurst and hot dogs for meat with baked beans and macaroni salad...Brownies and watermelon for desert....Now you can't beat that can you..... We all chipped in at the end to pay for all the food.... We all had a good time getting together and sharing a meal.... We are looking forward to all the rest of our Magnolia Family from up NORTH coming down and joining us for the coming season.....We are looking for you .... Come on down.....

From Bernice Pratt and Phyllis N.
I just received this email from Phyllis (Neudorf(sp?)) and know she would appreciate our prayers:
Hi Bernice, I have been very sick and just got out of the hospital after a ten day stay. Jenny took me to the ER with severe chills and shaking and aching. At first their tests showed I had a urinary tract infection so they put me in a room and started IVs. Later in the night as more of the test results came in they found that what I had was blood sepsis, and it very nearly killed me. My kidneys began closing down and the infection spread all through my body. Lots of days a blur with one thing standing out in my mind. Every 12 hours they had to shoot some medicine right into my stomach. One morning the shot gave me a reaction and again I nearly died. Obviously I didn't, but I am still very sick and had to cancel all my volunteer work and just have bed rest until further notice. I got up and googled Blood Sepsis and I can see how sick I really was! Gotta go and lie down now. Would you pass this on to my friends please? Thanks. Love you, Phyllis

From Judy Jensen
Hi Barb--Hope you are having a good summer/fall. Can't believe it is almost Sept. The Cleavelands stopped by on their way home from Canada. Aren't they a happy looking group? Had a good visit and the next day we went to Reva's funeral. Then they went back to Iowa. See you in Nov. Judy J
I must say they are all looking fine!!

Joe and Lucy Urias Place
The wind in the last few days has blown some of the awnings that were damaged around some, so the appearance is some what different than after the storm....It just takes time to get the work done and there are so many small jobs to be done that usually get done first so this is to be expected...The weather hasn't been cooperating the last few days as it has been so humid and warm, so people just are moving a little slow.. HA HA..... Well more later....

Just Peachy
We went on our annual peach picking venture to Arkansas again this year. Picked 1206 pounds in 4 hours again. Sold all that we wanted (saved some for ME) and still have people calling about them! They were really good, some were 12 inches in diameter, and weighed 1 pound! Big fruit this year. I canned, made jam, made syrup, froze pies and saved some in refrig for eating.
Take care, Kay
Take care, Kay
Potty time?

Pictures of the Park
Well here is the last of the pictures that I am going to put on the blog of the storm... I have quite a few more but they are mostly of the same kind that I have already put on..... Most of the brush has been cleaned up and there is a huge pile of it across the road where they have been stacking it.....A lot of skirting and window awning were damaged or blown down or loose..... Some of the aluminum strips on the skirting were blown loose....I didn't put pictures of each of them as there were quite a few....I would say that all in all we came out better than some of the other parks... Some of them had mobile homes completely destroyed....There is nothing done here that a little time and a few dollars won't fix as good as it ever was......Thank God nobody was hurt or killed, so we can count our blessings....

Park News
At least I can report some good news for a change as we had Tuesday morning coffee and donuts this morning....There were 22 folks who were interested in socializing and drinking coffee with one another...It was good to see the folks get together and laugh and talk....I am sorry about some of the pictures I put on the blog yesterday...Some how they didn't show up later on in the evening, so when I checked this morning and saw they weren't on, I replaced them again....I also added a couple to the number.... I plan on putting a few more on tomorrow so keep checking in...It seems as if things are some what settling down to normal and it is about time... We have had all the excitement of bad weather we need....More later..
