Our Luau put on by Tony.  He and his daughter cooked the food and  others brought the deserts.

All thanks go to Dottie who paid for this and Tony and his daughter who cooked for us.

 

 

Goodbye iGoogle

iGoogle is going to quit. They are going to give us about a year before they do but I have started my search for a replacement and I have found one!!  It is called www.protopage.com . It has taken me a bit to get used to it and I have had to find a work-around or two but the more I use it the better I like it. I hate to think how many people I have helped set up their iGoogle page. So the good news is that we can get our Proto pages to look, act and feel like what we are used to and we will have plenty of time to do this.
If you have any questions about this, email me.
This only applies to people who are using iGoogle for their home page. Google is not going away, just iGoogle.

JoAnn Cross Obit

From Barb: In order to get JoAnn's obituary on the blog lets just say it took some faniggling  so in order to see it in a size to read it you will need to click on it in two parts. I am trying to get the obituaries on the blog not only so they can be read but to make things easier for our Memorial Committee whose job this year is going to be record setting. We are only half way on the year.

From Lulu

 Hello y'all,

Lulu and I want to thank your park for being such great hosts to us and allowing us to share our entertainment with you. A special thanks to Dottie and Tony who made it possible.

We hope to return to this area some time in the future. But, for now, we must continue on our journey. Please follow us on our journey on our blog at luluandAL.blogspot.com and of course on our music web iste at LuluEntertainment.com. Please sign up on our email list or on our blog and you will get automatic updates, whenever we add something new, or when we have an anouncement. Especially when we decide to return to the RGV.

  Thanks again. Enjoy your park. It is an awesome place.

Live, laugh and Love each other....

From Marie Flood about 4th of July party

We had a couple in that played and sang for our 4th party.  They were really good.  Fred had a great time dancing with Lulu.  That is also the name they play under.

Norm enjoyed a dance as well.  All us girls got up for the last dance.  We had a great time and more food than we could eat, so we are having another dinner

tomorrow night.  Maybe some more dancing.

Voss Quilt Block

We finally finished the main quilt block.  It covers the huge empty

space that had a outside door before we put up new siding.  Quite a
job to get it finished.

Note: Looks very nice! I have a spot where one would look great if you are of a mind to take it on. hehehe.

Remember the Kaleidoscope when we were kids?

This is really incredible!

How amazing that someone could not only create this, but make it to change when you move your mouse/cursor...or you can just sit back and let it change by itself.  Either way it is awesome!!! Very nice.........and pure genius!

 

ALSO, IF YOU PUT YOUR CURSOR RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, IT IS TRULY AMAZING.

Eva Foote

Eva Foote has passed away. More details when they become available.

From Janet Rader about Lucy Urius

• Lucy has colon cancer. She had surgery Sat. and they removed all the cancer and reattached the colon. Lucy is doing well, she is very tired and all cards, prayers and well wishes I'm sure will be appreciated.

Update on Eva Foote

Mom is resting. She is in hospice at Gunderson hospital in La Crosse  Wi    What caused her problem is lack of blood to her intestine and basicly the intestine started to deteriorate and is too far gone to be able to do anything for her.  Dad and I got here about 10 this morning and Mom knows who we are.  She is very swollen and breathing like a fish out of water.  Will update more later if things change.  Elinor and Connie stayed the night with Mom last night. All but Roger will stay tonight if nothing changes.    David

About Eva Foote from Jackie Dobson

Senior Discounts Keep this list - - - and Send a copy to your senior friends and relatives. As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently, I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 gets 10% off everything on the menu, every day. Being of 'that' age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount too. This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and how some of them start at the young age of 50. This list may not only be useful for you, but for your friends and family, too.

Victoria Palms has a stash house?

This article sent to me from Eleanor Piche in Canada is about illegals in Victoria Palms. Weird, right?
"Donna police say that this case was quite rare.

Usually illegal immigrants are found hiding out in more rural or run-down areas, but not in areas as luxurious as the Victoria Palms RV Resort in Donna.
A phone call from management about a possible stash house led Donna police to the park on Monday afternoon.
By the time officers and Border Patrol agents arrived, neighbors saw over a dozen illegal immigrants jump the fence and flee into a nearby cornfield.
Though it seems stash house busts are on the rise in the valley, Lieutenant Rick Suarez says the Victoria Palms was the last place he thought as a pit stop for human smugglers.
"I'm very surprised to see that that's where they're storing them now. Normally they'd stash them in old beat up houses. In this particular case, I guess they were storing them there. But it got people's attention," admits the lieutenant.
Lt. Suarez then says police and border patrol officers rounded up twelve men and one woman.
They all admitted they'd been traveling to the united states all the way from el Salvador.
Management at the Victoria Palms chose not to comment about this case. They say they are still waiting for the investigation to finish."

Kay's Clever Idea

I  cleaned out the big container of purses that I have made over the

years---how about using them for flower pots??  They make me smile
when I look at them!  I lined the purses with plastic bags, and filled
with dirt and flowers....

Kay Voss

From Kay Voss-Tower Inspection

YIKES---Chuck up on our tower, doing inspection !  I hated even
looking up to take the pictures....all is well, they just go up every
so often to see what is up there I guess.  NOT a job for
me....neighbors are very curious, some have stopped to watch.

Added by Barb: I understand this is one of the most hazardous jobs there is and that many lose their lives every year. Yikes is right!

More Mertes info from Leslie

More details about Lloyd's funeral. The funeral is in Carson Iowa on Thursday morning at 10:30 with visitation on Wednesday from 4:00 - 7:30 at the Carson Community Bldg. Alice's address is 415 Washington, Carson, Ia. if anyone wants to send her a card. Thanks for posting this for me. Leslie

From Leslie about Lloyd Mertes

"I don't know if you remember Lloyd Mertes or not. He and Alice used to be in Magnolia in a 5th wheel down in the ghetto right beside us. He just passed away this morning. He had bone cancer and didn't last long after they found out. He has been in the nursing home for just a few weeks. I don't have funeral details yet but will send that when I hear."

Update on Dorothy Hannewald

Wanted to update you all on Mom's situation.....The past several weeks have been so hectic and busy, just haven't had the time....Mom had her initial heart attack on April 26......she was rushed by ambulance to the hospital...they did CPR and difibulation in the ambulance and put a stent in at the hospital....she did pretty well for a few days....then on Tues. of the following week, she was in the shower...passed out and fell...hit her head on the floor and they had to do CPR/Defib again......we rushed to the hospital....after an hour or so.....she did it again.....another round of CPR and Defib.....she came out of it.....in the process. they broke 3 ribs doing CPR......for the next few days she progressed well....but heart was still beating too slowly....so they decided to put in a pacemaker.....that went well....so after 13 days in the hospital, we brought her home..... she needs 3 weeks of TLC and care before cardiac rehab.... so we brought her home with us to Ohio...will take them home around the first of June.......Dad also needs a pacemaker......but we haven't scheduled that yet......Mom and Dad wanted me to thank you all for your prayers and cards.......The Doctors  told us it is a miracle that's she's still with us....so we thank God for that.....lots of changes ahead....and I'm so thankful they got home from Texas before this all happened....they hadn't even unpacked their suitcases yet ! Will keep in touch......Judie Mathews ( daughter )

From Helen Alt

Dear Magnolia Friends:
I want to say Thank You to all our friends for all the cards and memorial gifts sent to me after Lester's death on April 2nd.Also for all the thoughts and prayers said on my behalf as well as all for Lester.
His time after leaving Magnolia on March 14th was short but he is at peace and out of pain. He loved Magnolia Park and all our friends. Thanks for all you've done.

After Glow 

I'd like the memory of me

 to be a happy one.

I'd like to leave an after glow

 of smiles when life is done.

I'd like to leave an echo

whispering softly down the ways,

Of happy times and laughing times

and bright and 

sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who 

grieve to dry before the sun

Of happy memories that I leave 

When life is done.

Peacocks- They Are Back!!

Several people around Magnolia Park last season asked Peggy G. and I where we found our peacocks that were yard decorations. Mine had been a gift from Peggy. She had found them at Target and had waited until they went on clearance before she purchased them. Thus the thought that they could not be purchased any longer. BUT
Yesterday I received the following email from Peggy. So if you have a target in your vicinity...
"ON SALE THIS WEEK AT TARGET THE PEACOCK FOR $25.00  THE COLOR IS DIFFERENT BUT THE SAME SIZE AS OURS:-) "

 

PEG

Sunday Services

Well today was the last service at Magnolia Park for this season until next fall....We still had 14 in the service in the little hall to worship and learn from God's word....Pastor Stacey invited everyone that were going to be in the Valley for the summer to come to his Church in Donna...That would be the First Baptist Church at 1009 Hester Avenue.....All will be welcomed....

Pastor Stacey today brought the message from the Book of St. Matthew, Chapter 11, starting with verse 7 with the theme of "Ask, Seek and Knock "....The lesson brought forth of how God answers his children when they ask for their desires, and how we should seek just what God has planed for us and be ready to knock at Gods door and ask what his plan for our lives is....This is a great lesson for study....Pastor said that just as when our children ask us for different things, we always try to give our children what is best for them....As this was the first Sunday of the month communion was given at the end of the service.....I thought that the timing was great for communion as this was the last service for the season.....Remember during the summer when ever some one comes to mind,  please pray for that person as they may need prayer for some need at that time.....Pray also for any sick that you hear of....

Have safe travels and a happy summer....See you in the fall with the new season.....GOD BLESS ALL....

YOUR BRAINS ARE IN IT
BURMA SHAVE

DROVE TOO LONG
DRIVER SNOOZING
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
IS NOT AMUSING
BURMA SHAVE

BROTHER SPEEDER
LET'S REHEARSE
ALL TOGETHER
GOOD MORNING, NURSE
BURMA SHAVE

CAUTIOUS RIDER
TO HER RECKLESS DEAR
LET'S HAVE LESS BULL
AND A LITTLE MORE STEER
BURMA SHAVE

SPEED WAS HIGH
WEATHER WAS NOT
TIRES WERE THIN
X MARKS THE SPOT
BURMA SHAVE

THE MIDNIGHT RIDE
OF PAUL FOR BEER
LED TO A WARMER
HEMISPHERE
BURMA SHAVE

AROUND THE CURVE
LICKETY-SPLIT
BEAUTIFUL CAR
WASN'T IT?
BURMA SHAVE

NO MATTER THE PRICE
NO MATTER HOW NEW
THE BEST SAFETY DEVICE
IN THE CAR IS YOU
BURMA SHAVE

A  GUY WHO DRIVES
A CAR WIDE OPEN
IS NOT THINKIN'
HE'S JUST HOPIN'
BURMA SHAVE

AT INTERSECTIONS
LOOK EACH WAY

A HARP SOUNDS NICE
BUT IT'S HARD TO PLAY
BURMA SHAVE

BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL
EYES ON THE ROAD
THAT'S THE SKILLFUL
DRIVER'S CODE
BURMA SHAVE

THE ONE WHO DRIVES
WHEN HE'S BEEN DRINKING
DEPENDS ON YOU
TO DO HIS THINKING
BURMA SHAVE

CAR IN DITCH
DRIVER IN TREE
THE MOON WAS FULL
AND SO WAS HE.
BURMA SHAVE

PASSING SCHOOL ZONE
TAKE IT SLOW
LET OUR LITTLE
SHAVERS GROW
BURMA SHAVE

The hummingbird doing rolls chasing a bug is neat!!! The butterflies are spectacular.

check out the baby bat under its mama. Unreal. 

If you never knew what goes on in the garden when you aren't paying
attention. Watch this - some of the finest photography you will ever see.
