Bits & Pieces
Saturday 5-1-2021
Can you believe that it is May already!! I hope you have had some of those April Showers so you will have May flowers. It has been hot and dry in Texas. The rain that is falling in Dallas is not making it to The Valley.......We finally got 21/2" later.
Peggy Carnes has had a total hip replacement Friday and would appreciate prayers. Thank you and stay safe everyone!
Hi! Update on my travels From Alice Johnson. Got everything I needed to get done in Iowa, got to play bridge with some of my friends who had their Covid vaccinations too. Made an appointment at Walgreen online for our PCR Covid tests to get on our route to Canada. We received our negative results second night out, motel printed our certificates for us the next morning, all papers in order, crossed the border late that afternoon. It went surprisingly well, Red Cross tested us again on this side of Canada, they said theirs were somewhat like Walgreen, gave us tests kits to retest in 6 days again. Now we are staying put for the 14-day quarantine. Pennsylvania had a few areas of snow flurries and sleet but didn't last and didn't get slick. When are you going back to Iowa? Look forward to bits and Pieces like always. Bye for now, Alice
Lynn, the park manager, held a park meeting in the hall today. She said that there are 110 people in the park on 66 sites with 28 pets. Several are heading home this week yet. ***JD and Lynn will be gone on a well-deserved vacation the month of June. Belinda and Jean and Charles will be here to keep everything grounded. *** The summer activities for those in the park this summer will get started. Happy Hour will start on May 16th in the hall. Supper Club is starting next week.
JD said the quilters are working really hard to get the quilting building reality. They have raised $ 17,000.00 already. New roofs for the Pool Hall and the shuffleboard building have been approved as well as Air Conditioners, mattresses, and chairs for the Suites (Apts). Others on the wish list are still on the table and will be decided later.
Bits & Pieces will be heading home tomorrow. I hope to get back to Texas in October. I'm just so glad that I was able to get here and be in Trophy Gardens for the short time I was here. Your next Bits & Pieces will be coming from Iowa. Looking forward to the reunion already!!!
Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!!
