Linda and I got to spend the month of January at Trophy Gardens and enjoyed our stay.  We found everyone friendly and helpful.  We would especially thank Roger and Lynda Frances and Dean and Sharron Fox for including us in all the activities.  Linda enjoyed her time sewing and quilting where she met many friendly people.  The table games in the evening were fun for both of us.  Thanks for a very enjoyable time as Winter Texans.  Gary and Linda France.

Pastor Darrel has lost his cross that he had for 22 years. If you find it, he surely wants it back and is willing to pay a reward for it.

Lynn introduced the Team of workers in the park and told us how many years they have been here. They are part of the park family of Trophy Gardens, and some have been here for quite a while. As Lynn said we have a stable workforce. Lynn & JD have been our managers for the 6th season. They have done a great job making our park beautiful and working with the residents.

JD said that the final roads will be paved this summer. The ones where the storage is will not be done, but they don't need to be done.
