Where did July go?? This summer is passing so fast.

Dan Lang sent this to me and asked me to post it in Bits & Pieces. Very important for you to read.

I have been reading on Facebook how Howard Koehoorn is doing. He caught pneumonia and it is complicating things. He isn't talking to anyone yet but is doing hand signals. They are hoping to do surgery this week. Prayers are still needed for Howard.

Randy Sorenson has a Birthday on Aug. 8^th. Add him to the updated calendar!! 

I had a great experience yesterday. I had a hot air balloon ride for about an hour. It was wonderful. It is so quiet up there. My family was the ground crew for the ride and Matt Bousselot was the captain. I posted pictures on FB.

If you have a chance to try it---go for it!!

If you have something you want to share, let me know

Let the prayer wheel spin for Howard Koehoorn!!

 

Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!!

Howard Koehoorn needs your prayers and now. He was found by Denny Mulder in the driveway next to his truck. He was showing signs of a stroke, so was asked to get a helicopter to fly him to the stroke center in Neenah, Wisconsin. After a CT Scan, they found he has a brain bleed. He had one 8 years ago and this one is worse than the first one. No surgery right now. He is being monitored for now. He isn't very alert but has moved his left side and has said a few words. Cards can be sent to 509 W Brown St., Waupun, WI 53963. Spin the prayer wheel for Howard!!

We have a Like-New Park Model For Rent: September, October, November, and December. If interested call Betsy at 309-344-1583 or Merv at 956-246-2876.

Spin the Prayer Wheel for Howard!!

Stay Safe and Healthy.......

I want to thank Lynn for her updates for Trophy through the hurricane that just went through South Texas. She let us know when there is live stemming when it was on so we could see the krgv's weather when it was on live. I for one watched Tim Smith and his crew giving updates on the storm.

Again it is with sadness that I let you know of the passing of Harold Henning of Shell Rock, Iowa. Cards can be sent to Margaret Henning, 2521 Butler Ave., Shell Rock, IA 50670.

Some have asked about the population of Trophy now. Lynn reported last week Tuesday that there are: 81 people on 50 sites with 18 pets.

I will be sending out August's Birthday and Anniversary calendar soon. If you want yours added let me know your name and date.

Again thanks to JD and Lynn for their work at Trophy Gardens!!

Stay Safe and Healthy......

Barb and Jake Jacobson would like to thank all the Trophy family for the cards, phone calls, and especially the prayers for Jake. As I said before we are in a holding pattern while Mayo reviews all his tests on his stoke, do more testing, and then determine if it is worth the risk to do surgery. We will go back in January.

We in Eastern Ontario, haven't seen rain for a good month either, our farmers are also in need of prayers. Greetings from Rudy and Kay Stouwe, 

Hastings, Ont.

Thanks to all of the trophy gardens residents for the outpouring of love for my mother, Ivy Pollock, your cards made me and my family stronger to get through this. Thanks again for your support.    Ivy died at her home on Lake Huron after a beautiful sunset with family by her side which she always loved. She did get to read all her birthday cards and made her feel really proud of all her friends especially the cards from the Three Stooges, Marilyn Monroe, and John Wayne.   Again thanks for all your support from Rotten Ron and family.

Stay Safe and Healthy!!

Wear your masks when you go out...

Charles Fellenstein is looking for a handyman to help him. 

He has a wall that is having some problems and needs help with that.

 Call 913-515-6403.

The farmers in central Iowa need rain!! 

I'm sure there other areas that could use the rain too. 

Say some prayers for them. They haven't had any rain for quite a while.

Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!!

Wear your mask...

From Bev: THIS HAS BEEN DAY 21 OF THIS VIRUS. WHATEVER ANYONE DOES, AT LEAST

 WEAR A MASK...WASH HANDS AND STAY OUT OF PLACES THAT NEED NOT GO IN......   

 I AM SO SAD AND WEAK BUT I HAVE A WONDERFUL FAMILY TO HELP ME GET THRU MY LOSS

 OF 61 YEARS AND HELP ME RECOVER.     THERE WERE 7 OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS THAT WERE 

SICK WITH THIS AWFUL VIRUS.  BE CAREFUL AND THANKS FOR ALL THE TROPHY PRAYERS --- 

 KEEP THEM COMING –

I read on Facebook that Madonna Verripsfeyerabend had a valve replacement surgery today 

with a temporary pacemaker put in. Daughter Darla is with her in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. 

If all goes well the pacemaker will be removed and she will be able to go home tomorrow, Friday.

 I couldn't find an address for Madonna for cards so if anyone has an address let me know.

Let's keep spinning the prayer wheel for all those in the Trophy Gardens family needing our prayers.

Keep Safe and Healthy!!
