Sorry about not putting something on the blog , but not much is happening here.. HA HA We did have a little excitement last Sunday night ( the 14th). We had some strong winds for a while about midnight and it tore off Raul's awning.. He lives across the street from me so we saw it almost when it happened as we were keeping an eye on the storm.. It was kind of funny as it didn't even wake Raul up and he didn't know about it till the morning when he got up... It didn't do any more damage in the park, just a few small limbs on the ground and the boys had them cleaned up before I could get around to take pictures of them. We only had about 1 and 1/2 inches of rain with the wind and it didn't take long for that to soak in as the ground is really dry..
My good friend Bernice Pratt E-mailed me and wanted some news or pictures on the blog... It's kind of hard to try to put something new on when there isn't much happening.. HA HA It sure has been rather warm during the days , but it cools off nice in the evening. I did find a story that kind of goes with that.
Life is like a Hot Bath
The longer you stay in it,
The more wrinkled you get..
That is some thing to think about anyway.. More later (if something happens)
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.

From the Pratts
We got home in Green Bay,Wi. last Saturday and I am nearly unpacked and have found places for most of my knick knacks I brought home to a "too full house".
We are enjoying the family get togethers (there were 34 at Sunday welcome home meal).
Glad you are enjoying your trip and tell any Magnolia friends hello for us.

Enjoying the pool
Well not all folks are ready to leave and go north.... Clyde and Barbara Hancock are just enjoying the peace and quite at the pool.. The water looks just great and it's not so crowded now that most folks have gone north.. They think that they still need the name tags just to be safe.... HA HA These pictures were given to me by Bill Sager. He thought this might make the northern folk kind of jealous of the great weather..... He might be right... More later..

Happenings in the Park
Well I said that I would try to keep you informed as some of the happenings in the park... So will post a few pictures.. As you can see it looks kind of bare in the RV. section as you might expect..... There is suppose to be some changes made in this section in the coming weeks so will try to keep you informed.... Also Loe's mobile at 311 Cottonwood was moved out today..... It sure looks like a nice spot for a new mobile to move into, is anyone possibly thinking about a new spot for a mobile??...We still have a few people that haven't gone up north as they are sure it's still too cool for them yet... It's just getting nice here and the roads aren't as crowded as they were....We are sure dry though so send a little rain if you can... HA HA ... More later....

Easter Sunday Dinner at Magnolia Park..
Well folks I have been a little lax on starting the new posting since Barbara left, guess I have been a little lazy or is it that I can't believe that the winter season is over and most of the Winter Texans have left.. We still have a few that haven't gone yet. There will be a few leaving Monday morning (tomorrow) and then it will just be the usual summer crowd.. We will pickup a few new ones and lose a few of the others.. We just finished with Easter Sunday Dinner and had about 50 in attendence according to Don Howard's count.. Every thing was so good and all were stuffed when we went home.. Don and Barbara Howard and their helpers did a fantastic job with the dinner and are to be commended....We wish every one a happy and fantastic Easter.... Pray for all those that are traveling and for a healty summer for all..... I will be posting some more news as it happens in the park.... I hear that there will be some changes coming so look for it on the Blog..That will keep you coming back.. HA HA

This from Bernie Houle:
Don't know if you have heard but George Salmon (Vera) passed away this last Monday. Strangely after all the mini heart attacks he has had and the diabetes and loss of limbs, his kidneys shut down when he refused dialysis treatment. He died peacefully with his family at his side two days later. We will be going to the funeral on Saturday. Will represent his friends from Magnolia Park. Should you wish to send condolences her email is vera362000@mailbug.com

Failed to deliver
Okay, I am getting failed to deliver notices from some of you fine Magnolia folks when I send to your email address and my only way to get in touch with you is through this blog. If you are switching back and forth between two email address I can only say STOP THAT!! If you get an email address such as Yahoo, Hotmail or my personal recommedation, Gmail you can have the convenience of not having to make the switch every Spring and Fall/Winter. Yes it is a pain to make the initial switch but at least you are only pained once rather than twice a year. Gmail is free and relatively easy to set up but it works best to get an invitaion from a current user so if you want to set up a Gmail account for ALL your email get a message to me and I will send you one.
From Kay Voss
Hi All.
Well, Jim did it again. he brought home 100 POUNDS of carrots for me to can. We started this morning, he scraped, and I juiced. I have 12 waterbottles of juice in freezer, and am on 2nd canner load of carrots. We have almost all in jars waiting their turn in pressure cooker. We have some to bring home raw, have given a few to a neighbor, otherwise the rest are or will be "under a lid" by tonight. WHEW thank the Lord for AC. haha We have at least 450 pounds of onions sacked up to go, and 2 bushels of grapefruit ready. Jim may think he has "plenty of room" but he is due for a surprise when we start to load up!!!! haha
Time to duck out to the pool. love, Kay
