INews...

There is some news that was brought to my attention.

First.

Stu T. is in the hospital and in critical condition.

His wife Lila is with him and needs our

prayers....You got them Lila.

~~

Next

Ernie H. had fallen and now has a broken

hip. He is also in the hospital.

His little dog misses him as we miss

seeing them walking around the village.

Ernie will be disabled for a period of time

so he also needs our prayers for a quick and

speedy recovery.

Good luck old friend.

Time heals almost everything,

Give time time.

Birthday Boy

Tomorrow marks the 55 for one of our own.

If you know who it is wish him a

Happy Birthday.

We are very proud of him..

~~~~

Don't cry because it's over,

Smile because it happened.

BRIDGE

Thanks Leween for the update on your scores

And YES Jo you were missed this week.....

ONE SMILE

Someone gave me a smile today;

I tried my best to give it away

To everyone I chanced to meet

As I was going down the street.

But everyone that I could see

Would give my smile right back to me.

When I got home, besides one smile,

I had enough to reach a mile.

~~~~

Perhaps we should all try this

and see what happens.

~~~

Have beautiful day in our Village

News update.

Had news today that Rod & Deb C had left
to go back to Penn. because Rod's father
was not doing so good. The conclusion is
that he passed away and our hearts go out
to this wonderful family. Our condolences
and prayers are with them.
******
Rose L. has had a few rough weeks but is
working hard to get back in shape. We sure
do miss not seeing her around the games
but know it won't be long before she is back
with us. Keep up the good work.
~~~~~~
Eleanor C. has been in Palm Gardens Rehab
for sometime now and her daughter has informed
us that they are moving her back up north so that
the family can care for her. We will miss this really
gusty lady and wish her well on her journey up north.
~~~~~~~
If there is someone else that is under the weather
please let us know so we can inform the Village as
to what is happening.
Our prayers are with those who are having troubled
times.
~~~~~~
Cheerfulness will open a door when other keys fail.

Surgery being done

Received word that Cindy J. is in the hospital

for surgery. She is in for several days and then

off to rehab for a period of time.

Being in Michigan is a long way from her

#2 home here in Florida but she is hopeful

that come this spring will be able to visit with

us once again.

She misses the warm weather but little does

she know it is cool here also. We will be getting

our blast of hot weather soon so enjoy the brisk air

for a few more days.

Keep Cindy in your prayers and for a speedy recovery.

However good or bad a situation is,

it will change.

Village Annual Park Sale

Today in spite of the cool (cold) morning

the yard sale went on to become a most enjoyable

day.

~~~~~

Your new Social Club members worked very hard

on making a great success.

****

Many vendors adorned our common area with

their wonderful items that everyone picked up

and was happy to take home.

~~~

The cake wheel was enjoyed by everyone who

put down their quarters to win a cake or

whatever looked good to them.

The committee was manned by your

announcers, Mary L & Barb E. Of course

Carlos B supervised the event with his horn

tooting around the area.

Thank you for so much fun.

****

The kitchen was filled with such tempting

aromas that we all ran to sample the delicious

soups that were donated by various cooks from

the park.

Thanks for all your hard work.

~~~~

The 50/50 winner will be announced and will

be notified if you should have held the lucky

number.

****

Be sure to let each and everyone who worked so

hard to make this event such a great time that you

appreciated their hard work and

they will let us know how they came out.

*****

Remember that not getting what you

want is sometimes a wonderful stroke

of luck.

~~~~~

Until next time

Back Again

I have been gone for a few days and have

neglected to inform some so

things are slow getting up and running

again. If you have news regarding the

village, just me know.

*******

Many thanks to the editor for

the update.

~~~~~~

Everyday comes bearing gifts....

It's up to you to untie

the ribbons.

Enjoy your day...

Community Sale

Come this Saturday the Village will be having

their large yard sale in the parking area.

Everyone is invited to come and see what

you can find and can't do without.

~~~~~

If you want to feel rich,

just count all the things you

have that money

can't buy.

See you all there

most enjoyable evening.

We congratulate the new Social Club board on

a well planned evening of delicious food and

and entertainment.

Our thanks go to Jessie and her devoted crew

clubhouse turned into.

we were dipping into that sweet chocolate fountain.

teamwork and coordination in serving our meals.

We are very grateful to you hard working

Most smiles are started by another smile..
