It is Tuesday 5/19 from the office

Tuesday Update:

61 Sites, 100 People, 23 Pets

As life tries to get back to normal, we will only post on Tuesdays.

Packages: If you are expecting a package you will be responsible to check on your own. We will not be posting them any longer due to the hall being open.

Blacktop: please do not drive on the fresh blacktop. It needs to set up and it is hot outside. It is best to stay off it until tomorrow morning. This includes golf carts and bikes.

Dances and gatherings: I spoke with our DM and he indicates we will not open for dances, gatherings, happy hours in the hall in the near future. He is taking a very reserved approach to opening up to the public at this time. Let's hope by mid June/July we can resume dances.

Murray's are leaving either Thurs/Friday for vacation. While we are gone Belinda is in charge. We check in with her and Charlie is on call in case there is an emergency.

Have a great rest of the week.

From the Office...

Hi Everyone, It's a beautiful Friday at Trophy Gardens.
Good News: All the buildings will be "open" for your use starting Monday.  Line Dancers, only 10 people in the hall and spaced 6' please.  The usage of the buildings is on your honor. The Club House hours will be 8am-5pm Monday-Friday. The pool hall will be open at 8am-10:00 pm as usual.  The bathrooms will remain open. No gatherings in the hall yet.
Blacktop:  The rest of the roads will be blacktop starting Tues. May 18th. 
Karon Green is in McAllen Medical. She is having tests done with regard to her gastrointestinal problems. She needs prayer.

Have a great weekend.

I'm home and am trying to get things put away while looking for the computer.

I want to let you know that we need to get the prayer wheel spinning for Karen Green, 

the kitchen coordinator at Trophy. She was bitten by a very deadly spider while in the loft at the hall. 

She is now in the hospital and needs your prayers.

Elaine Freitag passed away this week. I was on the road when I found out. 

To send cards to Lee the address is 303 E Washington St. Apt 255, Bensonville, Il. 60106 Prayers for the family.

It is a nice day in Iowa today. I hope you are having a great day.

Apology

Butch and I are currently en route to Iowa. We left Trophy Gardens on Sunday and our present location(Tuesday evening) is Coachlight RV Park in Carthage MO. We pulled in without a reservation and were lucky enough to get the last spot. They are hosting a crew of Windmill workers, who will be here for quite some time. I look back on the day as one filled with moments of gratitude and landing here where they had only one spot left falls in that category. For a full story check in on our personal blog: https://brooker3.blogspot.com/
Now on to my apology. I do not do much "on the move" type of Internetwork so I will keep up with Betsie's Bits and Pieces and other things that are sent to me as soon as possible throughout the summer. So send things to me (keep.movin.on@gmail.com) whenever the whim strikes you.
We do have to keep Trophy Garden people close to our hearts and the blog is merely one avenue. See you all in October or thereabouts.
Best wishes always.

I got a call from Mel Hokkala today wanting to thanks everyone for the cards, calls and prayers for her family during Gene's illness. Everyone in the family was tested for the Covid Virus and everyone came back positive. One of the daughters is in the hospital on a ventilator now. Mel was in the hospital for two days, but is home now. One of the daughters is staying with her. We need to start the prayer wheel for this family.

Bits & Pieces will be hitting the road tomorrow. It's time to get Bryan home. He drives me and my pets home and in October we will be coming back. Remember if you have anything to share with our Trophy family, let me know and I will send it out. I enjoy hearing from you so keep us informed on your doings.

Have a great summer!!
