BINGO IS HERE

Bingo update from John D.

Bingo is played each Tuesday evening in our clean and comfortable clubhouse.  Last night was a very exciting night for everyone who came to play.

John D III called the first half and Roger Calvert called the second half. Great going guys.  On the third game Pat D. of Vero Palm Estates called a

bingo on I21. She not only got the bingo but also the MAGIC BALL.  This paid $100 and everyone was thrilled for her.  At half time treats of cup cakes by Carol T. Thanks and they were yummy.

Wish to thank all who came and volunteered their time to make a wonderful evening for all.

Sad News today

October 25, 2009

Thanks to Rick D. I was informed of the passing of a dear and old friend. The Village has known Jim LeBeau for many years and enjoyed having him around.

We all watched him take care of his sweet wife Ellie for a few years and admired his dedication even after her passing.

I have no idea how old Jim was but (84) he was one of our young residents so this was a surprise to us as well as to his family.

No arrangements as of this moment have been made but his daughter is accepting cards from those who wish to express their condolences.

Oregon Farming

Another example of what Keith is doing this summer.

Looks like he has been busy working with the fruits of their Labor.  Diane and Keith have really had a lot going this summer and have enjoyed their families. We wish them a Happy harvest and look forward to when they will return to our Village.

Picnic days are coming

Your picnic days are coming!

****

Beginning Monday, November 2nd, there will again be a regular barbecue/cookout in our Village.

This will run until April, and is always weather-dependent.

We gather in the A-section park about 3:30.

Rick D. (A36) prepares the grill and you bring andcook whatever you want. It is a good occasion to socialize and meet your neighbors once again.

This is open to all adult L.V. residents and their guests. Regular attendees are asked to bring a bag of charcoal once per season.

Thank you Rick for all the help you do with this activity.

***

This has always been a wonderful success, so mark your calendars for Mondays, starting Nov. 2nd.

~~~~

* Just a note!

This picnic area is open year round for residents and their guests to use. All you need to do is leave the area in the best of shape.

This is a perk of LV.

Enjoy

Team work divides the effort and multiplies the effect.

Pumpkin days ahead

Keep growing those pumpkins Diane.

They just seem to get bigger all the time and just think of all the goodies that come from pumpkins.

***

Our weather has turned warm again so the A.C. was back on last night. Don't think we will have fall temps for our Halloween parties this next coming week-end.

Keep watching for those witches and goblins....

More to come soon.

***

The best preparation for tomorrow is the best use of today..

Thought for today

Halloween is just one week a way.

Time to get those jack-o-lanterns ready.

Enjoy the cool weather.

****

The ordinary today is the wonderful

yesterday in tomorrow's

memory

Hay week

Picked up a few bits of information.

This is all done with bales of hay.

Quite interesting what people can do

with their spare time.

****

We get to just have fun in our Village.

***

Have a happy hey day.

Pumpkin days ahead

Just a picture of a few pumpkins being grown.

In case you are wondering just what is so

different about these, Diane grew these in her

garden. They tipped the scales in over 340 lbs.

She really has a knack for growing those

vegetables.

*****

I will be posting other surprises from Diane

and her garden this next week.

**

Thanks Diane.

Special Coffee hour.

We wish to thank Nancy C and Barb E. for

hosting our coffee hour this morning.

We all appreciate the time you took

to have these coffee and sweets for us to enjoy.

This morning a special coffee hour was presented

with the VNA.

Anyone wishing to get their Flu shot had this

opportunity to do so.

Lila and Stu waited for their turn and I

don't think Stu cared one way or another.

We wish to thank The VNA for all their

help and coming to our Village.

***

Don't forget tonight is our Bingo in our

Halloween clubhouse.

Get your dabbers and wander over

at 5:00 to get the best seat in the place.

The shuffleboard court is looking mighty

good. Take a look at what has been done

over the summer.

Thank you guys.

Bunco scores

A wonderful turn-out for Bunco this week.

Everyone did their best to get the most Bunco's

but this week

Patti won with 4 and a lot of yippee's.

***

Most games, which means they worked awfully

hard were:Tom and Dot B.

They made enough to come back

next week...

****

There was one chair that took a fancy

to Rose so she didn't have to move

around to much.

Hope you all had a good time.

~~~~~

Treats were provided by

Dot and everyone enjoyed those yummy

cookies....

Thank you.

~~~~~

Just a reminder!!!!!

"Coffee" at 9 in the morning. and also

Welcome back

Yesterday several van's pulled into our Village.

***

We are happy to welcome back

Rick and Sharron D and our Joan.

Coming in right behind them, Bo & Pat A.

They all drove through some bad weather up north

and were happy to see their winter

home.

***

We welcome them back and we are sure ,even

with the cool front this morning, that they will

enjoy our southern weather.

More will be arriving soon and hope to hear

from them and their uneventful trip into

our Village...

****

Enjoy life:

This is not a dress rehearsal.

Week-end coming up

A little catch up for the week-end..

***

It sure has been hot with record breaking temperatures.

Received the power bills this week and hopefully we will

be getting some relief soon.

***

Take a peek in your clubhouse this week as

Jessie was in there decorating it for Halloween.

She sure is a busy goblin. It looks scary...

**

Monday night is still the great Bunco game

at 7:00 p.m. in our clean clubhouse. A good

way to get out for an hour or so.

***

Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m. is our usual

coffee hour but this week there will be the nurses

on hand to offer flu shots. Please bring necessary papers

for them to fill out.

Enjoy having coffee with your neighbors.

Tuesday night at 5:00 p.m. doors open for

our weekly games of Bingo.

They need players as well as volunteers to run

this exciting game. You can get in touch with any

Social Club member as to how you could help them.

They would appreciate it.

***

Thursdays the Michigan Rummy group starts their

game at 1:00 in our clean Clubhouse.

Pete D. #302 was looking for some guys to

join in playing a game of Cribbage, so if any of

you would like to play at 1:00 you could give

him a call or stop by. Sounds interesting.

***

Our thought this week is:

Good Luck Rose and John

**

Greet the dawn with enthusiasm and you

may expect satisfaction at sunset.

Out of surgery

Makk is out of surgery, in the PICU and although they had a hard

time getting his pain under control he is finally sleeping.

They will keep him resting until possibly today.

We don't know what the results of this surgery has

produced yet but will let everyone know as soon

as it becomes available.

Our prayers are with the Beatty families...

Thank you for all of your prayers... Makk is doing a bit better this afternoon. He will probably be in the PICU for several more days as they try to get his digestive system working. Your prayers have been much appreciated. - Diane

These people are far from being old but have as

many aches and pains as a lot of us . They are out

helping people who aren't able to clean up the yards, and

unable to get out side in this very warm weather.

Village this week-end.

A huge thank you to:

Peggy D for all her volunteering with our games

Keith & Diane's grandson

Makkiah at Mingus Park in Coos Bay, Oregon

Things are set up for S'te son Makkiah's surgery coming up.
This is set for October 14 and these are the procedures:
G-tube (feeding tube), fundo, pyloroplasty, rigid and flexible bronchoscopy, larynoguscopy, endoscopy, sinus biopsy and possible lung biopsy. There will be 4 specialists assisting the pediatric gastrology surgeon with the various procedures and tests. The Doctors have warned that this is a very high-risk surgery due to his respiratory, allergen, and gastric problems.

This sure a lot to have done on such a little guy as he is just 8 years old.
I know we will all be watching to see how well he comes through this fresh ordeal and our prayers go to him and his family.

******
No need to have the best of everything,
just make the best of everything.

We really need to support these activities as this is what our park is all about.
