I have been trying to get pictures of the goats for a long time and it finally happened. Not the best picture but better than none at all! Posted by Picasa

This is from Sandi Greer over in Brownsville at Paul's Park. :
Glad I finally had a chance to catch up on your Magnolia News. It's great see everyone & to hear that Jo is getting better. We are very sad to lose our buddie "Auggie...our ever ready man!" We are glad Lois has you good people to help her through those lonely times. And Sparkie must be lost. We have been remodeling over at the new park, but feel we are finally over the hump. It's a good thing because our park is pretty full. Last Saturday we served 180 for a Steak & Shrimp Dinner. It was a good time. We seem to have to work harder over here, but we can always use the exercise. Barb, we really enjoy your Magnolia Park News. Our best to you all & we, of course, miss you. Sandi & Randy

Those of you with wireless capable laptops the Little Hall/library is now a hotspot. Trouble free and easy connectivity for all of us in Magnolia Park. It may not be as handy as your own living room but it is the next best thing and it is zippy fast browsing. Posted by Picasa
