 Bits & Pieces
Sunday 2-16-2020



Friday at Card Bingo, Long time resident, Curt Meyerhoff, won the last game. He will be leaving Trophy Gardens at the end of the month. As it so happens that he is moving into a place in Sheldon, Iowa, that has several Trophy Garden past residents.  I know quite a few of them and maybe you do too!! Ervin & Gladys Bolkema, Bob & Betty Petkelder, Phyllis Rook, Thelma Tien, Chris Peters, and Marie Van Veldhuizen and now Curt Meyerhoff. Hi to all from Trophy.



I just got the call about the Winter Ranch-Trophy Gardens Bridge Tournament which was held last week.  Trophy Gardens averaged 2742 points and Winter Ranch averaged 2649 points so Trophy Gardens will keep the trophy for another year!  John Chalko and Barbara Willis were winners from Trophy.


 “From Rainy and Henry...We want to say a big THANK YOU to all our Trophy friends who attended our show at Winter Ranch and a special thanks to Russell and Kathy Cropp along with Stephanie and Jason for their support in getting the word out to y’all.   Also, to those who took the time to vote for me in the Valley Star Awards, we really appreciate your support.   To say that we are overwhelmed is truly an understatement!”

TRIVIA CLUE
I have discovered that sometimes the Trophy Gardens blog is not visible on some people's phones. Sometimes it is temporary. I have not been able to find a definitive answer for most situations. My best guess is that the blog format is too large for the phone. In other words, the print would have to be so small you couldn't see it or so large you couldn't read it. I put the clue link on Facebook, Bits and Pieces, and Trophy Gardens blog. I believe that one of those avenues should be open to you. If I were faced with this dilemma I would find the search bar and type in trophygardens.blogspot.com on whatever apparatus I was using to search the Internet. If one doesn't work try another. AND here is the TRIVIA CLUE for 2/18/2020
