Update for the Loring's

Well I can imagine every one is wondering what happened to us and the blog...Well I will try to bring you up to date a little...We have been in the process of buying another house for us to move to latter on in the year....It is in another park (Siesta Village) south of Weslaco...We didn't want to say any thing too early cause everyone we would see would say"When are you moving?" and we can't tell them cause we don't know ourselves...We have quite a bit of work to do on the house cause we want to change some things and of course repaint some walls...We have been working on it almost every day for a few hours and it is slowly coming along, but we have a long way to go....We are doing the work ourselves and we aren't as young as we use to be...HA HA...I have been so busy I haven't gotten a chance to play pool during the day with some of the other parks so you know I am trying...Gene (our son) has been doing some of the jobs that I can't or would have trouble with anymore so he has been a blessing for us....

The reasons for us to buy another home is varied and I won't go into them...Just keep us in your prayers and be patient with me on the blog...I will try to do better now that we are going public with the up coming move....We will still always love Magnolia Park and the people in it....We have always felt that we were a family and this move won't change that feeling with us....As I have said we don't know when we will move and we aren't in any hurry to leave....I will try to keep you informed as we go along....

Sunday Update

My oh my how the time flies by...The last week has just gone by so quickly and I didn't write any thing down on the blog...I will try to fill in for some of the week....Of course I went and played pool for a few days in other parks...Don Howard didn't go with me this week though as Barbara hasn't been feeling quite up to par and Don didn't want to leave her too long...Being Don Louks and Sally are here now, Don went with me to play and to see all the guys at the other parks...You know that Marilyn and I just had to visit Wal-mart a couple of times cause they may have moved some things...HA HA...

Last week was very hot again, but last Friday night it rained about 1 inch so it was wet around here and humid...I know that it was muddy enough that we couldn't go bird hunting cause we couldn't get to the field where we hunt....Oh well Marilyn says that I shouldn't shoot those little birds any way...I just tell her that some of them will die cause of too little feed or some other reason, so why not have some fun and utilize some of them for meat....I don't keep any , but I give all my birds to the Elks lodge and they have a game feed once or twice a year...Nothing is wasted that I can help...

Busy Sunday

After Bible Study this morning we went to Sevilla's for breakfast with Jim and Margret...It was good as usual and is a treat on Sunday's for us...We then came home and read the paper and relaxed for a time....They came and got Marilyn later after one o'clock to come and play cards with the Sunday Card players...At 3 o'clock Johnny came and got me to go bird hunting....I gathered up my stuff and headed out the door for a fun afternoon....I put my hunting equipment in the back of the truck and got in the passenger seat up front and was immediately licked all over the side of my face and ears by the two dogs of Johnny's (Luke and Copper)...I guess they were glad to see me...We went out to our usual place that was too muddy yesterday but was OK today....We managed to shoot our limit but could only find 28 of them....The weeds were just too high and thick and the dogs were give out....So was I by the time we got home....So it was a good day for sure....Life's great if we can just keep on keeping on....

Saturday's doings

We went to the garage sale up at the big hall this morning to see just what all was up there...We were surprised to hear that stuff was flying out so fast....Most of the tables were almost empty which was good for the sellers....We got a couple of dinners to take home and eat for lunch...They were good as usual....Don hasn't lost his touch over the summer....This afternoon my buddy Johnny came and picked me up for a couple of hours of bird hunting...It had rained down south where we hunt so it was too muddy for us to go there...We tried a couple of other spots and settled in on one spot for an hour or so....The birds weren't flying there too good so we only got a couple, but it was good to get out....It was kind of hot and the bugs were somewhat bad, but what can you expect outdoors...We plan on going tomorrow afternoon as we should be able to go to the usual place and do better...There is some shade there to get under and a little cooler(and more birds)..It's all fun any way....Later...

Can't believe This!!!!!!

I just can't believe that it's been a week since I put something on the blog...I guess now that it's quit raining and that we are kind of getting out and going the time gets away from you...I can't say that we have done much exciting but what the hay at our age every thing can become an event....I have been playing pool of course at different parks three days a week but that will stop pretty quick as the regular players come back in from up NORTH...I don't want to take up their spot in the pool room...It is getting quite hot again and is sure muggy...Don Howard and I tried to play in the big hall one night but it was just too hot, so we are still playing in the little hall....The air-conditioner is trying to work but is not doing very well...I don't know if they are going to do much about it or not...When we said something to the manager about it , he just said that it won't be too long before it gets cooler weather....Kind of hard to believe when it's 98 degrees in the shade...Oh well
